Pueblo (Spanish for "town") refers to a group of indigeous people (American Indians) of the southwestern United States. They were descendants of the prehistoric Anasazi peoples, and their shelter/housing reflected those of their ancestors.

These pueblo-living tribes were sedentary because they were farmers, so their structures were permanent. They were built with masonry (same thing they used for their pottery) on cliffs with large shallow caves. The cave top was the roof and the doorway leading to other "apartments". Ladders were used to get from one level to another. There were also "kivas" and other differences between the many tribes that were connected to this pueblo way of life.
