Taos Pueblo
I have loaded some
pictures of the famous Taos Pueblo in Northern New Mexico.
The Pueblo is at
an elevation of about 7000 feet and has been occupied for more than 1000
years. Today about 150 people occupy the
pueblo full time. Many other families
have other homes in the Taos area, but return to the Pueblo for gatherings and
special occasions. Traditions dictate
that no running water or electricity are allowed within the Pueblo walls. The two
main structures, Hlauuma (North House) and Hlaukwima (South House) are considered to be the oldest continiously inhabited communities in the USA.
The Pueblo is
open to the public for an admission fee.
You can watch them making bread, clothing, jewelry, artwork, and other
native items during your visit. Of
course, all available for purchase.
