ToggleMythology of the Pueblos
The Mythology of the Pueblos includes the following Native American peoples: Pueblos, Acoma, Hopi, Zuni
The Pueblo Indians, de l’espagnol pueblo (village), are Amerindians living in pueblos, which are juxtaposed houses made of stone (like the Hopis) or adobe (like in the Rio Grande valley). By extension, the term is used to refer to their inhabitants, although the pueblos are not a unique people. On the contrary, they are distinct tribes, each speaking their own language and each having their own cultural specificities. They are, however, grouped together under the name of Pueblos because of their common architecture.
Chaque pueblo a son propre gouvernement. Les centres religieux se trouvent dans des kivas. Traditionnellement, les Pueblos vivaient de l’agriculture et leurs poteries, tissages et bijoux sont réputés. Les deux tribus les plus importantes sont les Hopis et les Zuñis. Les Indiens Pueblos de l’époque précolombienne sont appelés Anasazis.
Acoma (Keresan Aa’ku) signifie « peuple du rocher blanc ». On y parle le Keresan de l’ouest. Ses habitants disent habiter la plus ancienne ville des États-Unis habitée en continu, comme l’atteste des éclats de poterie trouvés sur le site, ainsi que la tradition orale. La ville est aussi appelée Sky city (the city of the sky), because of its location: it is placed on a 30 hectare plateau surrounded by cliffs over 110 meters high.
