Where did the pueblo Indians live in Texas?

Answer 1

Pueblo Indians (Spanish pueblo, town), American Indians living in compact, apartmentlike villages of stone or adobe in northwestern New Mexico and northeastern Arizona. They belong to four distinct linguistic groups, but the cultures of the different villages are closely related.

The eastern villages, located along the upper Rio Grande near Santa Fe and Albuquerque, include Isleta, Jemez, Nambe, Picuris, San Ildefonso, San Juan, Santa Clara, and Taos, whose inhabitants speak Tanoan languages, and Cochiti, Santa Ana, Santo Domingo, San Felipe, and Zia, where Keresan languages are spoken. Two slightly westward Keresan pueblos, Acoma and Laguna, along with the Zuni and Hopi pueblos, make up the western villages. Since about 1700 the Zuni have been concentrated in one large village in westernmost New Mexico. Their language shows no certain relation to any other language. The Hopi live on or near three mesas in northeastern Arizona. Their language is part of the Uto-Aztecan language family. The Hopi pueblos include Mishongnovi, Shongopovi, Shupapulovi, Sichomavi, and Oraibi and the Tewa-Hopi village of Hano, founded about 1700 by Tewa-speaking refugees.

Answer 2

Ysleta del Sur Pueblo or Tigua Pueblo. They are Southern Tiwa speakers who fled with the Spanish Colonists after the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 from what is the Isleta Pueblo (Shiewhibak - Kinfe laid on the ground to play a type of footrace) in today's New Mexico. Other people from that Pueblo fled to the Hopi mesas and live there to this day.

Also, Piro Puebloans settled in Senecu, and then in Socorro, Texas, next to Ysleta, Texas. There were a number of Piro Pueblo around Socorro, New Mexico which are now gone. They spoke a different Tiwa language.

Spanish replaced both these languages around 1900.

Today, they live in the Ysleta section of El Paso, Texas.

Pueblo owns and runs tribal businesses that provide employment for its members and the El Paso community. These businesses include the Speaking Rock Entertainment Center, Big Bear Oil Co., Inc., and the Tigua Indian Cultural Center.

There were also settlements of the Mogollon culture in the E Paso area. They were settled between the Franklin Mountains to the west and the Hueco Mountains to the east. They lived there from 150 CE until about 1450 CE. These can be seen at the Hueco Tanks State Park & Historic Site. There are also the "Firecracker" and "Hot Wells" cliff dwellings.

The Hopi and Zuñi may be partly decended from the Mollogon culture. amoung other cultures. This conforms to Hopi origin stories of the Gathering of the Clans.
