    u.l. printed: The traditions of the past are strong within the \ modern Indian and he clings tenaciously to them. \ He does not feel at home in the white man's house \ nor like his mode of living. And so the Indians \ working in the Indian Building at Albuquerque \ built this miniature pueblo, using the same materials \ their people have udes for ages and faithfully \ following the general plan of construction. \ Thus they live, in the heart of a modern bustling \ city, contented and happy; living and working under \ practically the same conditions and with the same \ primitive tools their fathers used centuries ago.
