Pueblo Native American #6

Posted By on April 4, 2011

A Pueblo maiden and her father. 1950. During the day and evening the native people would come to enjoy the carnival and circus. There usually was an all Indian Rodeo and arts and crafts for the tourists. February and March is when the season starts in Arizona. There are three or four  major carnivals that play the Indian reservations and there are about 20 t0 25 celebrations per year.  In today’s world,  carnivals do not have a circus with them. The entertainment is brought in by the tribe and that is mostly Country Western singers. Photo taken by Dad on the Rez lot.  Siebrand Bros Circus & Carnival.
