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.
