Where did the pueblo Indians live in Texas?

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.

What area did the pueblo and Navajo people settled in?

The Navajo people live in an area between the boundaries marked by the four sacred mountains and centered around the two central scared mountains. This older central part in just south of where the emergence place is said to be and is sometimes called Dine' Tah. These boundary mountains make a diamond shape in north eastern Arizona, north western New Mexico, southern Colorado and southern Utah. It is the high Colorado Plateau, Four Corners region. The four mountains are, always starting in the east, Mt Blanca, Mt Taylor, San Fransisco Peaks and Mt Hesperus.

Both the old oral history and religious stories and the modern archeology say that this area south of the La Plata mountains in the lower San Juan river valley in northern New Mexico is where people recognizable as Navajo (as opposed to other Apache related groups) first appeared about 900-1100 years ago.

Today the Navajo Nation occupies 27,000 square miles in the western and central portion of this region. This is about the size of Holland and Belgium put together. There are 300,000 tribal members.

There are today 21 different Pueblo people. They speak 8 different languages in four different language families (depending on how you count a language vs a dialect). They are also often grouped in 2 different broad culture groups based on similarity of structure and creation myths. The majority are along the Rio Grande valley in New Mexico. The rest are the Hopi (and Tewa at Hano) at the Hopi Mesas in Arizona , Zuni, Acoma and Laguna in western New Mexico. They all have lived in more or less the same places for 700 to 1100 years depending on the tribe. Some have been there since Anasazi times others migrated to where they are now between 1200-1300 AD as the Anasazi culture changed to modern Pueblo. All of the Pueblo people have creation stories that include a migration phase and most have stories of the emergence up from worlds before this one (as do the Navajo). Some have stories of specific clans that came from specific Anasazi sites. Today there are about 35,000 - 40,000 Pueblo people in Arizona and New Mexico.
