Cordelia Ortiz, Nambe School - Pre First, 1937-1938
Item — Box: 19, Diary: 1
Scope and Contents
Entries in this diary are present for virtually every day and the diary gives a good account of the activity of a teacher. There are very good entries on each student and community reactions to the school (apparently not the sort of entry the reviewer/principal desired). There are several entries from elders in the community, in particular one individual that remembers going on buffalo hunts and fights with other Indians as well as the Spanish. There is also a commentary on seasonal activities and travel, visits to the Pueblo and community services. Included are notes to the teacher (written in Spanish). Several entries deal with criticisms of the school.
