What was the southwest desert shelters?

The Navajo (Dine') people lived in Hogans ( hooghan, in Navajo). Today the navajo mostly live in American style houses but many people still have a hooghan for ceremonies or for sort of a guest house. Some older or rural people still live in one.

A hogan must have a door that faces east for the sun and no opening to the north. There are male ( pointed stick top)and female ( round tops) hogans. The female ones are the most common for people to live in over the last 100 years. They are cool in the summer and warm in the winter. When it was too hot in the summer people stayed in shade shelters nearby. Today there is usually a wood stove in the center, in the old days there was a fire and a smoke hole. It should be built and blessed in certain ritually prescribed ways. It is said that First Man made the first hogan. It should have a dirt floor or connection to the earth, and four opes for each direction. The walls were made of wood poles and the roof often corbeled. The whole thing or just the roof was covered in dirt for insulation. Today some are made with American construction and materials. Almost every part and area in a hogan has ritual meaning as well.

Other people such as the Hopi or Zuni or Taos or Acoma lived in very different shelters now called pueblos. Some of these are thought to be the longest continuously inhabited towns in north america. At least 800 to 1000 years. They are multistory apartment style villages made of stone and mud plaster. Traditinaly the entrances were often on the roof with ladders down to the rooms. The flat roofs were used and living and storage areas.

Other people lived other ways. The people in Chaco lived in much bigger versions of the modern style pueblos. The Ho'hokam lived in semi underground dwellings near large canals with irrigated farm land. Some Apache lived in tepees and others in oval wickups, a wood and brush structure. The Ute lived in tepees. The Paiute in brush dwellings. The Havasupai had winter and summer homes. The Yavapai and Hualapai had shelters similar to wickiups.

Why did Spain return to New Mexico after the pueblo revolt?

I have studied quite a bit of New Mexico history. The Pueblo Revolt began August 10, 1680. Popé (Popay) among others ordered that all Christians be killed including all baptized Native Americans. What Spanish and Christian Native Americans did not escape to El Paso TX fled the Rio Grande area. By November 5, 1681 Governor Otermin led an expedition into New Mexico. Verbally I was told that Otermin found that Popay had been deposed (or possibly killed?) in a dispute with the Native Americans due to his harsh rule, Later made worse by the drought that affected the area. The Native Americans that remained also found themselves unprotected from the raiding tribes in the vicinity. It is possible that the Spanish were invited to return as I was once told. Evidence of this is that Governor Diego de Vargas returned to Santa Fe unopposed in September 11, 1692 with settlers. These are politically unstable times in the pueblos and obtaining a clear picture of what happened must take into account who you are talking to.

If you still live at home when you turn 18 is there a law that you still have to follow certain rules set by your parents?

  • Think about this .... you consider yourself an adult so start acting like one. If you are working you should pay a percentage of your wages to your parents. After all, you want to become independent and you eat their food, use the electricity in the house and your mom probably does your laundry and cooks the meals. How do you think you will handle being out on your own paying approx. $800 up for rent, food, electricity, phone, gas if you have a car, medical, etc. It's obvious you know the rent is higher out there, so now that you have become an adult you have to take on adult responsibilities. As far as rules of the house, it is no different than following rules of the law, rules of the apartment building you may one day live in, rules of the road, and on and on. Life is rules! However, I do see where 18 year olds come from. Parents expect them to act like adults, but don't give them the full responsibility of one. If you are working then sit down with your parents and tell them that you will pay rent (decide on a fair rent depending on what you are making wage-wise.) Also tell them that you need your privacy and if you are paying rent then you should have more responsibility in your private life. If your parents have a spare room downstairs and you aren't in it, move into it! If you are out with friends then be quiet when you leave and come home and don't disturb your parents. Your parents love you so it doesn't hurt to pop your head in and say to your mom or dad "Hey, going out with friends, be back by midnight." Don't have your friends phoning at all hours of the day (get your own phone by the way.) Like anything else in our lives it's about respect. They should have respect for your privacy and you should have respect for their rules and their feelings. There are no freebies in this world. You think you are an adult then stand solid on your feet, sit down with your parents and work something out.
