Tewa

The Tewa are a group of Indigenous peoples primarily from the Southwestern United States, particularly in New Mexico and Arizona. They are part of the larger Pueblo peoples, known for their rich cultural heritage, traditional farming practices, vibrant pottery, and ceremonial practices. The Tewa historically built communal villages with multi-story adobe buildings and have maintained their language, spiritual beliefs, and social customs over centuries. Today, they continue to honor their traditions while engaging with modern society, preserving their identity through art, language, and cultural practices rooted in their centuries-old history.
