Many traditional activities are still a fundamental part of the lives of Pueblo people.

Continuing the Traditions
Along the Rio Grande, Pueblo people continue to live and adapt with oral traditions and beliefs connecting them with their ancestors.

This Place Knows Us
"We have learned from our ancestors how to honor the land. As Pueblo people we carry on what our ancestors have taught us. Their songs, stories, and spirits are part of this landscape, and we are the continuation of the story."  - Affiliated Pueblo Committee
