Transcript Pueblo Indians
By Mrs. Buckhoff
Location
The Pueblo Indians
lived in the Southwest.
They lived in the
deserts of Arizona and
New Mexico.
Pueblo Indians are
made of several
different tribes
including the Hopi.
Housing
The Pueblo lived in
apartment like
houses made of
adobe.
This was the best
for them because it
kept them cool in
the summer and
warm in the winter.
Clothing and Tools
Pueblo women wore
mantas which are
traditional dresses.
Pueblo men wore kilts
made of animal skins.
They also wear
beaded necklaces and
body paint.
To hunt, the Pueblo
used bow and arrows
or clubs and spears.
Food
The Pueblo people
were excellent farmers.
They grew corn, squash
and beans.
The men hunted deer
and antelope while the
women gathered nuts,
berries, fruit and herbs.
Artifacts
The Pueblo Indians
are known for their
beautiful pottery,
weavings and
jewelry.
They would often
use these items to
trade with other
Native American
tribes.
Traditions and Religion
Every year Pueblo
tribes gather to
perform the Corn
Dance.
The men and women
wear special clothing.
The dance is a sacred
ritual for the Pueblo
and it is not usually
performed for
outsiders.
