"The Delight Makers" by Adolph Francis Alphonse Bandelier is a historical fiction book set in the ancient cave-dwellings of the Pueblo Indians of New Mexico. It highlights their traditions, culture, and way of life long ago. The narrative follows young Okoya and his brother, Shyuote, as they experience the world around them. The book begins by describing the beautiful Tyuonyi valley, home to the Queres tribe’s ancestors, and introduces Okoya fishing with Shyuote while hinting at secret cultural traditions influenced by the Koshare, mischievous figures revered in Pueblo society, setting the stage for historical insight mixed with personal stories before settlers arrived.
