    Description

    The twelve notecards in this collection represent the Pueblo Deer Dance, which is performed to honor the deer, ensure their propagation, and gain their cooperation and permission for the hunter to take what is needed for food and clothing.
    Each card has a description of the dance and a brief biography of Fernando Padilla on the back.
    The cards are also suitable for framing individually or as a group. A great gift!
    Twelve cards and twelve envelopes are included.
