"The Delight Makers" by Adolph Francis Alphonse Bandelier is a historical novel set in the ancient Pueblo culture of New Mexico, specifically in the secluded valley of the Rito de los Frijoles. The narrative begins with two brothers, Okoya and Shyuote, who are part of the Queres tribe. The story unfolds in a picturesque landscape, where the cliffs are dotted with cave dwellings, and the community is engaged in agricultural activities. The novel explores the social and cultural dynamics of the Pueblo people, focusing on their traditions, beliefs, and the intricate clan system that governs their lives. Okoya, the elder brother, is troubled by his relationship with the Koshare, a secretive group within the tribe known for their mystical practices. His younger brother, Shyuote, inadvertently reveals knowledge of Okoya's disdain for the Koshare, leading to a series of events that highlight the tension between personal beliefs and communal expectations. The narrative delves into the complexities of family ties, the influence of secret societies, and the struggle for identity within a tightly-knit community. Bandelier's work is not only a fictional account but also an ethnographic study, as it draws from his extensive research and observations of the Pueblo Indians. Through vivid descriptions and a compelling plot, the novel offers a window into the life and culture of a people whose history is deeply intertwined with the land they inhabit.
