Puebloan peoples

The Puebloan peoples are Native American groups primarily residing in the Southwestern United States, including modern-day Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Utah. They are known for their ancestral pueblo structures—multi-story stone and adobe dwellings built into cliffs or on open plains—and for their rich cultural traditions, including pottery, weaving, and agriculture. Historically, they practiced farming, growing crops like corn, beans, and squash, and maintained complex social and spiritual practices. Key Puebloan groups include the Hopi, Zuni, and the various pueblo peoples of New Mexico. Their history spans thousands of years, reflecting resilience and deep connections to their land.
