Note 5 — Chapter II · THE CITADEL OF ÁCOMA

Reading edition

“They” (the Sedentary Indians of New Mexico) “live some of them in the identical houses their forefathers occupied at the time of Coronado’s expedition (1541-2) as at Ácoma, Jémez and Taos, and although their plan and mode of life have changed in some respects in the interval, it is not unlikely that they remain to this day a fair example of the life of the Village Indians from Zuñi to Cuzco as it existed in the 16th century.”—Lewis H. Morgan, Houses and House-life of the American Aborigines, in Vol. IV, U. S. Geological Survey, Contributions to American Ethnology.
