pueblo
Pueblos are modern and old communities of Native Americans in the Southwestern United States. The first Spanish explorers of the Southwest used this term to describe the communities housed in apartment-like structures built of stone, adobe mud, and other local material. These structures were usually multi-storied buildings surrounding an open plaza. The rooms were accessible only through ladders lowered by the inhabitants, thus protecting them from break-ins and unwanted guests. They were occupied by hundreds to thousands of Pueblo people in the larger ones. Several different federally recognized tribes have traditionally resided in pueblos of such design.
==Etymology and usage==
The word ''pueblo'' is the Spanish word for "town" or "village". It comes from the Latin root word ''populus'' meaning "people".
Of the federally recognized Native American communities in the Southwest, those designated by the King of Spain as pueblo at the time Spain ceded territory to the United States, after the American Revolutionary War, are legally recognized as Pueblo by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Some of the pueblos also came under jurisdiction of the United States (in its view) by its treaty with Mexico, which had briefly gained rule over territory in the Southwest ceded by Spain after Mexican independence. There are 21 federally recognized Pueblos〔("Indian Entities Recognized and Eligible To Receive Services From the United States Bureau of Indian Affairs; Notice" ''Federal Register'' 12 July 2002, Part IV, Department of Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs )〕 that are home to Pueblo people. Their official federal names are as follows:
