This unit introduces you to a dispute at a baseball game played at Laguna Pueblo’s annual fiesta on September 19, 1920, and the resulting campaign by the Pueblo superintendent to control the racial status of members of the Laguna community. The fiesta, the game, and the subsequent conflict reflect broader attitudes about race in the early twentieth century, as well as the inconsistencies of federal Indian policy and the difficulties of its administration. Through the careful analysis of the documents in this unit, you will understand and be able to explain, in writing and speech, how members of different social groups experience race in distinct ways. On completion of this unit, you should be able to answer the unit’s central question: How did the participants in the Laguna Pueblo baseball game define and understand race, and what does this suggest about the role of race in the first half of the twentieth century?
