Pueblo Research
The Pueblo Tribe lives in houses made of dry mud and bricks. They live in a somewhat town type place. The very top room is for sewing and weaving, the main outside part of the roof is for cooking. Last but not least is the bottom room of the house which is where the pueblo people cook and many people sleep. A long time ago they Pueblo Tribe didn't have stairs so they had ladders sticking trough the roof so they could get up and down without going outside. One last thing really there is no such tribe as the pueblo tribe, because pueblo is the name for village and the pueblo people are the decedents of the Anasazi People. By Kate

Most of the Pueblo clothes was made out of cotton. They made fabric by hand using cotton they grew themselves. How the Pueblo Indians made fabric, they got small pieces of cotton and got a spindle stick and whorl and wound the cotton until it came long and stringy. Then they wove the cotton into a loom and made fabric. If they wanted to make colored fabric, they used vegetable dyes red, green, orange, yellow and black. Weavers saved bright colored fabrics to use for ceremonies. Pueblo Indians used different materials like bone, shell, turquoise and feathers to decorate clothes for holidays. They also wore bracelets and necklaces for special occasions. Men wore breechcloths and aprons on hot days. A breechcloth is a square piece of fabric held up with a piece of string. It covered from the hip to the knees, front and back. Pueblo women wore a dress called a mantas. It went over one shoulder and the other shoulder was bare. At the hip there's a belt. When a women get's married she wore. Also when a girl get's married they can't get married to someone on their mothers side of family. In the Pueblo tribe people wore feathers on their clothes on special occasion. They wore feathers because it was good luck. To Pueblo people feathers are very sacrid and good for medicine. By Brenna
