This interdisciplinary, bilingual curriculum resource, contains a 29-minute videotape program, 20 colorplate posters, and a curriculum guide. The resource presents an examination of the folklife and folklore expressions of the Hispanic people of New Mexico. The focus of the curriculum is the relationship of survival-based folk activities to the region's climate, geography, natural resources, and complex weave of cultures. Lessons in the curriculum guide include: (1) Land, River and Hispanic Settlements/Tierra, Rio y Asentamientos Hispanos; (2) Building Community: The Roots of Adobe/Creando Comunidad: Las Raices del Adobe; (3) Folk Arts in the Home: Rio Grande Weaving/Artes Populares del Hogar: Tejidos, Estilo Rio Grande; and (4) Foodways of the Rio Grande/Las Comidas del Rio Grande. Each lesson unit includes an introduction, timeline, and historic background information. Individual lessons include an introduction, objectives, vocabulary, required materials, motivation, preparation and procedure, and evaluation; classroom connections to visual arts, language arts, social studies, mathematics, and science; community connections; adult resources; and a list of relevant children's books and folktales. Poster descriptions, discussion questions, a video overview, and artists' biographies conclude the guide.
