Indian Mythology - The Pueblo Dwellers (817 words)
Within the modern area the pueblos fall into two main groups : those of northern and central New Mexico, clustered along the Rio Grande, and those of the Moqui or Hopi reservation in Arizona; between these, and to the south, are the large pueblos of Laguna, Acoma, and Zuñi, all in New Mexico.
The Pueblo tribes are of four linguistic stocks; three of them, the Tanoan, Keresan, and Zuñian, are unknown elsewhere; the fourth constitutes a special group of Shoshonean dialects, the language of the Hopi of Arizona, related to the Ute and Shoshoni in the north and perhaps to the Aztec far to the south.
In spite of differences of language and origin, the general resemblances of the Pueblos to one another, in the matter of ritual and myth as in outward culture, is such as to make of them an essential group.
