John Sloan’s print references bus tours organized by the Fred Harvey Company in 1926 that transported tourists from the hotels along the Santa Fe Railway to remote Indian reservations. A growing number of Americans wanted to experience authentic Native American culture, as it was considered to be vanishing. On these “detours,” it was customary for the Pueblos to perform a portion of a ceremonial dance for the tourists. Sloan, who had established a summer home in Santa Fe in 1920, found these bus tours such gawking intrusions into sacred Native American rituals that he lampooned them in this etching.
