This wasn't quite what I expected. I was expecting a book about gardening in the northen New Mexico region, informed by the native traditions such as acequias and mixed planting square frame gardens.

What it actually contains is a series of anthropologists, paleoethnobiologists, botanists, and the like arguing about the movements and culture of the Tewas. This would be interesting in and of itself if any point had been made to present the arguments that they are arguing against.
