Notes: “The symbolism of Pueblo strife as seen in rock art and kiva murals played a surprisingly major role and was woven into the unified fabric of the Pueblo world view…It is apparent that the rationale for hostilities was grounded in cosmology and religion, and in typically Pueblo fashion, the fruits of battle were tied to rain-making and fertility in one continuous text.”  (From the Preface)
