Oritz, a social anthropologist, gives a "penetrating analysis of the complex and fascinating cosmological and ritural systems of the Tewa . He focuses on the ideas, rules, and principles of Tewa culture as they are reflected in mythology, world view, and ritual. Tewa notions of space, time, color, number, and existence are analyzed in detail to determine how they reflect, reinforce, and lend continuity to Tewa social institutions."
