Occasionally, in their fiesta, the New
Highlander stuck an obtrusive toe, as for
instance when Mr.. Fall, the Secretary of the
Interior. offered huge ugly trophy cup to
the Indians for some artistic achievement. or
when the chamber of commerce made up a
money purse to spur the Indians in competi-
tive spectaces. But, on the whole, it might
be called most un-Amercan show despite
the fact that the participants and most of
those who enjoyed it either were of aborig-
inal blood or of the blood of the first white
conquerors of the New World
That blood of the conquerors governs the
land of the blue door to-day. The ballot box,
the American judicial system, the Puritan in
vaders, have not unseated the dominion Of the
Spanish. The old Spanish families still have
the power Of life and death in New Mexican
politics and social activities. In New Eng
land the old families have surrendered to the
Irish, who in turn are threatened by the
Italian and the French. But in New Mexico
an Otero a Chavice is still somebody. So
the Santa Fe fiesta was dominated by the
Spanish and the Indians. The Mexican, who
likes to be called q native. did not have
look-in, and all the paleface from our Middle
West had to do with the big show was to pay
for it. He and the Mexican were outsiders.
EIRST of all, the fiesta was three days of
song and dance. The singing and dane
ing, whether done by the scions of the old
Spanish families or by the Indians, was ac-
companied by great splashes of splendid color.
and the singing was almost pure rhythm.
Hour after hour sixteen hundred spectators
H. ..LI
old adobe palace of the ancient governors and
drank in this flood of color and form and
motion. For three days it lasted. Perhaps
never before since the white man took over
the continent has there been another three-day
show such as this, SO much singing and dane
ing amid such kaleidoscope of raw color
1t was beautiful, but it could not be dupli-
Gated in any other city in America. No other
community could initiate it. Imagine the Elks
or Rotarians, or even the Masons, who are
fairly proficient in rooster feathers, purple
velvet and spangles, stripping down to their
running trunks, painting their bodies blue or
lemon colored or red or dead black, wearing
long festoons of turkey feathers and carrying
Janglng sleigh bells or rafting gourds, dane
ing a half hour at stretch and chanting
words perhaps as foolish as Peggy O'Neil"
The white man has no talent for becoming
an Indian, and the Pueblo Indians would make
sad spectacle sitting around luncheon
table with the Rotarians or Kiwannis in two
piece ready-made suits, beating upon the
table with drumsticks, chanting their archaic
tribal hymns. 1t is just as hard and twice as
wicked to try to make white man out of an
Indian as it is to make an Indian out of q
white man.

So the booster turns away sadly, puzzled By
the whole complicated business of art.
But this fiesta out in the land of the blue
door did assemble thousand or two people
who reveled in the joy of the spectacle. Per-
haps they should have been saddened by the
Characterization of a sacred ceremony and
perhaps they should have seen only artlforms,
the singing and dancing. But Of this they
are sure: 1t was wild and beautiful and orgi-

the land where it appeared, which. after all,
is the chief end of any art or any creedsor
any honest endeavor of aspiring man.
