Includes bibliographical references and index

Since 1982, fifteen New Mexico artists have been named National Heritage Fellows, the most from any state, recognized for their contributions to the nation's traditional arts heritage. Pettit draws from the lives of these New Mexico artists--among them potters and weavers, storytellers and musicians--through interviews with living artists, family members, curators, and others discussing their lives and art. Portraits emerge, as well, of the villages, extended families, and traditions that are a constant in the lives of these artists
