The book focuses on the Pueblo Indians of New Mexico, especially emphasizing their traditions, culture, and the setting of their ancient cave-dwellings. The story unfolds through the experiences of its young characters, primarily Okoya and his younger brother Shyuote, as they navigate their lives intertwined with the rich historical tapestry of their ancestors.  The beginning of "The Delight Makers" introduces the setting of the Tyuonyi, a valley home to the ancestors of the Queres tribe. It describes the geographical features of the area, detailing the natural beauty and the caves that served as dwellings for the Pueblo people. As the narrative opens, we meet Okoya, a young man engaged in fishing while interacting with his younger brother Shyuote, revealing their sibling dynamic and hinting at a deeper storyline involving cultural secrets and the influence of the Koshare—mischievous and revered figures in Pueblo society known to enact rituals. This opening sets the tone for a blend of historical insight and personal drama, aiming to explore the lives of the Pueblo Indians prior to European contact.
