Pueblos (places)

Pueblos are traditional communal settlements of Indigenous peoples, particularly associated with the Southwestern United States and Mexico. They often consist of multi-story stone or adobe buildings that serve both as homes and cultural centers. These villages are historically significant as centers of social, spiritual, and economic life. Pueblos often feature intricate artwork, pottery, and religious practices, reflecting a rich cultural heritage. Today, many pueblos remain inhabited, preserving their traditions and serving as important symbols of Indigenous identity and resilience.
