The developed lifestyle, religious values, and diverse culture of the Pueblo people makes them one of the most unique tribes to ever inhabit the West. The image above helps display the agricultural, social, and the highly developed lifestyle of the Pueblo tribe. The Pueblo’s economy was focused on agriculture and the people partook in the hunter-gatherer lifestyle. The men were usually responsible for working in the fields, and hunting, while the women spent most of their day working in the houses. The women also often took care of their kids, did pottery, or wove. Throughout this photo you can clearly see this lifestyle. The man is posed with a large arrow, the woman is holding a pot, the men in the back are working in fields, and kid seems to be learning from the father. Although it is more discreet, the large housing complex in the background helps show off the Pueblo’s advanced living conditions. The Pueblos were able to use their natural resources, which mostly included rock, straw, and mud to build these massive community houses. Other inventions and architectural constructions like these are how the Pueblo’s were able to differentiate themselves to become one of the most developmentally advanced and fascinating groups in the West.
