42-PUEBLO INDIAN WOMEN
GRINDING GRAIN
The grain is ground into meal by the wo-
men on hollowed out stones. There are three
grinding stones to a set. First the woman
places the grain on the coarsest stone, and
with another stone, roughly cylindrical, grinds
away at the grain, until it is all ground up.
The coarse meal is gathered into a basket,
with the aid of a rough brush, and placed
on the center or medium stone, and reground.
Finally it is ground on the finest stone, and
is then almost as fine as our flour.
