Puebloan Culture
Puebloan culture refers to the traditions and lifestyles of the Indigenous peoples of the Southwestern United States, particularly in areas like New Mexico and Arizona. Known for their unique adobe dwellings, the Puebloans built multi-story homes made from clay and straw, which provided insulation and protection from the elements. Their communities, often centered around agriculture, relied on crops such as corn, beans, and squash.
Puebloan society is characterized by its rich artistic traditions, including pottery, weaving, and kachina doll making. Spiritual beliefs are deeply intertwined with their daily lives, with ceremonies often held to honor nature and ancestors. The Puebloans continue to maintain their cultural heritage while adapting to modern influences.
