The collection is a representation of the music traditions of various Southwestern
American Indian and Mexican tribes. It consists of songs duplicated from commercial
records that were, in turn, based on the field recordings collected by several
notable folk music historians. The name of the native group is given when known, as
is the name of the collector. The songs in this collection from Laura Boulton and
Willard Rhodes also appear on commercial albums, which are catalogued and held by
the UNM Library. Those from John H. Green and John S. Candelario are not found
elsewhere in this Library, and are unique.
Various native languages are used in these recordings. There are songs from the
Yaqui, Yuma, Chichimeca, Maya, Tarascan, Otomi, Zapotec and Ticul Indians. Others
are songs of the Pima, Papago, Mohave and Hopi. In addition, there are songs from
Taos Pueblo, Zuni Pueblo, San Ildefonso Pueblo and Santa Ana Pueblo, and from the
Navajo, Apache and Mescalero Apache peoples. Some of the songs are in Spanish.
