"The Winter Solstice Altars at Hano Pueblo" by Jesse Walter Fewkes is an exploration into the world of winter rituals in an ancient Arizona town. The late 19th century study shows the reader the unique Winter Solstice ceremonies and altars made by the Tewa people living in Hano Pueblo. The study guides the reader through the midwinter ceremony, Tûñtai, and goes into detail about the altars, clay figures, and meal patterns, as well as the cultural background of the town and its people. The main goal of the account is to show the Tewa people's traditions and how they interact with those around them.
