PUEBLO INDIAN HOMES

Ellie completed this project for school. The houses are made from clay from our back yard.














PUEBLO INDIAN HOMES
by Ellie Brown


Pueblo Indians lived in the Southwestern region of North America. "Pueblo" is a Spanish word that means "Village."

Pueblo Indians lived in hot, desert areas. They were farmers and lived in homes called Adobes.

Adobe is made of clay, sand, straw and water, formed into bricks and dried in the sun. The thick, heavy walls of Adobe homes helped to keep the people cool. A few pueblo villages still exist today.

Pueblo Indians also used clay to make pottery. Their pottery was simply the best!
