Additional Details:
The Pueblo Indians, though converted to Christianity three centuries ago, have not in the least given up their pagan Gods and rites, but have placed the white man's God in their ancient pantheon. The Buffalo dance, a celebration in honor of the God of the Chase and a sort of prayer for successful hunting during the winter, is held on the feast day of the patron saint of Tesuque Pueblo, St. James (San Diego), November 12
