What makes utensils microwvave safe?
Microwave safe simply means that the material that the "utensil" or cookware is made of does not readily react to the bombardment of microwaves and many microwaves can pass through them more unobscured than with other materials. Their structures may get warm as they are excited but do not melt, spark or release their composits into food/air etc... For example metals will spark as the microwaves hit their surface, certain glasses and ceramics will get hot as their molecules build up energy from the microwaves radiating through them until they let loose and crack or explode.

What is the native American Indians council?
I am a Native American Indian from the Tewa Tribe Nambé Pueblo, which is located in northern New Mexico. I am the former Governor of my Tribe and was much honored to serve my community in this position. I will provide my answer, though I do not represent all Native Americans. Your question is not very specific. There are many Native American Councils. Each Tribe typically has a Tribal Council that serves as the Tribe's highest governmental leaders, similar to the United States Congress. Tribal Councils may also be made up of traditional officials within Tribal communities and provide leadership, advice and direction for their people. Tribal Councils can also serve varying roles as business boards for their Tribes, legislative authorities in developing laws, and judicial authorities or judges such as those of the United States Supreme Court for their Tribal courts. There are also many varying organizations that have Native American Councils that serve as Tribal advisors to colleges. There is a national organization call the National Congress of American Indians that serves as a national forum for Indian Tribes. There is another national organization called the Council of Energy Resource Tribes, which I used to work for in the capacity as Operations Manager. This Council was made up 57 Indian Tribes in the United States and Canada and served to advance the energy interests of Tribes. Hope this short answer is of help.

How are Pueblo Indians and plains Indians different?
There are many different cultures and peoples and languages of the Plains and of the Pueblo people so there is not one simple answer. However, in general the Pueblo people live in settled villages made of stone and adobe and wood and practice dry land or irrigated agriculture. The Plains peoples underwent many changes in the historic period but the biggest was when horses arrived from the Spanish in the 1540s and started spreading. This meant, among many other things, that people on the Plains could live on the Plains full time and follow the buffalo. Some had practiced agriculture and gave it up, others had been gatherer and hunters but now could cover much greater distances. A number of people expanded their territory and pushed out or subjugated neighboring people. Some developed warrior society structures that laid great value in raiding. Some, like the Comanche, also became middlemen in the trade for horses and guns. In general most no longer lived in settled villages. There were exceptions however such as the Mandan and Pawnee lived in permanent villages.
The Pueblo people and Plains people interacted at agricultural trade fairs. They traded corn and woven goods for hides and meat. The Plains people also raided the Pueblo people for horses, food, goods and slaves to sell or use.
What kind of technology did the pueblo Indians have?
The pueblo people used a wide variety of tools and equipment one of their weapons was a large stick which the pueblo people's described as a non-returning boomerang they would use this to hunt rabbits during the Hopi ceremony all of the male hunters would gather and form a band around a rabbit hotspot and slowly contract that band until you would be able to throw the stick at a rabbit and kill it, the boomerang looked a bit like a sword but it was made out of wood and wasn't very sharp the piece of wood was about 10cm across and about an arms length down with a smoothed down tip for accuracy.
