Pueblo Indians

The Pueblo Indians ate various seeds and made their clothing out of the yucca plant, which is found throughout the desert lands of the area. The Pueblos ... grew things such as beans, corn, and squash, which was not an easy feat considering it was the desert and sometimes rainfall was scarce. This is why the Pueblos had a tradition they called the rain dance, this was a ceremony to honor the gods and pray for rain. The Pueblo Indian men used spears for hunting rather than the bow and arrows other Indian tribes used. In Pueblo society everyone had their own job to do to help the tribes live. Children would help keep the crows away from their crops and they would also help in gathering firewood.

The Pueblo Indians lived in cliff dwellings known as adobe buildings. They looked like multi-story terraced buildings. The buildings were made from clay bricks that were baked in the sun. These bricks are called adobe. Since the climate of the southwest was so dry, these bricks lasted for many years. The adobe bricks were laid like regular bricks. People would use ladders to get into their homes.

The traditional Pueblo Indian structures that are echoed in Pueblo Revival style complement their natural environment. Typically made of mud, their low profile and thick walls protect their occupants and regulate indoor temperatures in the harsh desert surroundings. Pueblo-style architects borrowed some of these ideas to create a look that paid homage to the region's history.

Lack of Pueblo community involvement in the education of their children has contributed to the limited number of programs to enhance the education of Pueblo Indian students. Pueblo communities have no power or control within school districts to affect change or provide input. Of the ten districts mentioned, six school boards have no Pueblo Indian members: three have one Pueblo member each; and one board has two Pueblo members" (see Note 16).
