Eight of the 19 pueblos in New Mexico are located between Santa Fe and Taos. Some are closed to outsiders, and those that are open to visitors have strict sets of rules. The three pueblos we visited had a similar design of low-roofed adobe homes, arrayed around a central plaza and an adjacent kiva (circular ceremonial structure). Tribal identity and the flavor of ancient times have not been lost. The Pueblo Indians can be a little distant, but they are clearly proud of their artistic traditions and way of life.
