Sedgwick is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the rich history and cultural practices of the Ácoma pueblo, exploring its significance as one of the oldest and most remarkable settlements in New Mexico. The author draws upon various historical records, including those of early Spanish explorers, to illuminate the unique lifestyle and customs of the Keres people who inhabit this striking cliffside community. The opening of the book introduces readers to the stunning desert landscape surrounding Ácoma, depicting the awe-inspiring beauty and complexity of the terrain. Sedgwick describes the initial reactions of explorers and settlers to the impressive geographical features of this area, setting the stage for a deeper discussion about the interactions between the Pueblo Indians and European settlers. She hints at the challenges these early visitors faced in understanding the Ácomas' rituals and customs, which remain elusive even to scholarly inquiries. The narrative establishes a sense of urgency to document the tribe's traditions before they are irrevocably altered or lost due to external influences.
