A Window on Zuni.

The article focuses on Protestant missionary Taylor F. Ealy and his role as a builder at the pueblo of Zuni, New Mexico. The author explains that Ealy's construction plans were associated with the U.S. federal initiatives to assimilate American Indians, explores how Ealy's family created social, cultural, and religious barriers between themselves and the Zuni Indians, and examines the Zunis' autonomy negotiations during the construction project.
