简单介绍
The 19 Pueblo tribes of New Mexico are the descendants of the Anasazi, who lived in the arid Four Corners region five centuries ago. Arriving from Mexico, Spanish pioneers found them living in well-defined communities and so named them ‘Pueblo’, which means ‘village’ in Spanish.
Today, New Mexico’s Pueblo tribes are spread along the river between Albuquerque and Taos, with a few to the west such as Zuni and Acoma. Many of the adobe buildings that line the dusty streets of these towns were built hundreds of years ago, and pickup trucks and TV aerials are often the only signs of modernity. Some villages are more traditional than others; many residents of Taos Pueblo and Acoma Pueblo still live without running water or electricity. |
