Pueblo tribal members. Jose Jesus and wife, 1899. These indigenous people were given the name 'pueblos' ('towns') by colonizing Spaniards, on account of the small, permanent settlements the tribe called home,in Arizona and New Mexico. The systematic persecution of Native Americans by the white settlers had left what little Natives remained with few options, the best of which perhaps was to become part of mainstream society in an attempt to adjust to modern life
