Reproduction of tinted photograph depicting the pueblo of Laguna, with its adobe houses. On verso: "Laguna is the youngest of the New Mexican Pueblos, being founded in 1699. It is 66 miles west of Albuquerque. Few tourists know that the Pueblo Indians of New Mexico own 900,000 acres of land and since the Treaty of Guadaloupe Hidalgo in 1848 have been full citizens of the United States, maintaining their own forms of government. The Pueblo Indians are an intelligent, industrious and independent race."
