Pueblo Tribe Research Paper

Pueblo Indians are a mixture of several Native American tribes. They are descended from the Anasazi people. The best known of the mixture are Acoma, Taos, Hopi, and Zuni tribes. The Pueblo Indians settle in areas of the Southwest. In areas of the Mesa Verde Region, which is located the Four Corners. It is said that the Pueblo Indians acquired their name from the Spanish explorers that came across the tribe and used the Spanish term “pueblo” meaning “town” to describe their adobe homes and town.
Interestingly when most of the Indian tribes were forced to move away from their homeland and relocated to other areas, Pueblo tribes were not moved or relocated. Many of them are still in the original area of their homeland today.
The traditional
dress for the pueblo tribes include the men to wear an animal skin garment that is tied at the waist to cover the front of the genitals and moccasins made of animal skins. The ladies of the tribes would customarily wear a cotton dress that was tied on the right shoulder leaving the left shoulder exposed. The ladies also wore traditional moccasins of animal skins on their feet.
Most of the Pueblo history took place before the written word so most of the information we have today is based on the finding of the Archaeological findings and the stories passed down within the tribes. It is believed the original Pueblo Indians go back as far as A.D. 750-900.
