target="_blank">www.Pueblodecochiti.org</a></p> <p>The Cochiti people are noted for their hospitality and friendship towards visitors who are welcomed to many of the annual ceremonies for which Cochiti is famous.</p> <p>Many members of the Pueblo live outside the reservation and have been acculturated into the anglo-Hispanic community, but most of them continue their association with the Pueblo, especially during the major feast day.  San Buenaventura’s Day in July.  This is marked by dancing and ceremonies of traditional pattern and authentic costumes.</p> <p>At one time, agriculture was the primary activity of the Pueblo.  Dams have been constructed to assist in the elaborate irrigation system that helps maintain the crops, but through the years, as employment outside the Pueblo increased, so agriculture decreased.</p> <p>The Pueblo has been more affected by contact with the majority culture then many of the other Pueblos with electricity, plumbing and above all, radio and television, which may account for the preponderance of the Anglo lifestyle in ratio to historic customs. Many of the ancient crafts have been revived, such as pottery and jewelry making which constitutes a good source of income from sales to tourists.  One of the most popular pieces is the Storyteller figure, which was revived in 1964 by Helen Cordero. It comprises a seated man with a number of children on his arms and lap, made of clay with vari-colored decorations.  Animal figures such as turtles, birds, frogs and lizards are also depicted.</p> <p>Many Cochiti artists work in watercolors, ink and oil paint and have achieved considerable fame for their innovative use of color.  But the most important product of the craftsmen of Cochiti is the drum.  These are made from hollowed tree trunks, mostly aspen, with leather ends laced together around the cylinder.  Live trees are not cut down to make these drums, but great care is exercised in the selection of the logs.  They are made by other Indians for their excellent quality and tone.</p> <p>There are a number of festivals and dances in June, July and August to which the public is invited to see the traditional dances and ceremonies of the Cochiti Pueblo.</p> <script type="text/javascript">  </script> </td> </tr> </table> <table width="100%" align="center" class="copyright_btm"> <tr> <td height="40" class="style2"><div align="center">2401 12th St. NW Albuquerque, NM 87104 | 1-866-855-7902 | <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20090217081228/http://www.indianpueblo.org/" target="_self">www.indianpueblo.org</a> | <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20090217081228/http://www.indianpueblo.com/" target="_blank">www.IndianPueblo.com <br/> </a>Site Map | Copyright Indian Pueblo Cultural Center 漏 2007 All Rights Reserved </div></td> </tr> </table> <map name="Map" id="Map"> <area shape="circle" coords="65,28,28" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20090217081228/http://www.indianpueblo.org/" alt="Home"/> </map><script type="text/javascript">  </script> <script type="text/javascript"> var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?
