with the same and different goods, depending on the

region. The overall economy was agricultural. Though

weaving and pottery making also stimulated their

The Pueblo had a martrilineal society, the

so the clan that children were a part of was

determined by the mother's lineage. They were

also matriarchal, so the land and homes were

owned and inherited from the mother. The

men worked in the fields, weaved baskets, and

built adobe houses. Women also weaved

baskets in addition to taking care of the

household, making pottery, and transporting

clean water.

Each Pueblo village was self-governed by

a council made up by the leaders of the religious

communities of the village. Religion and politics

often intertwined. The impact of this structure is

that villages felt very independent from one

another and because the Pueblos spread across

such a large region they often were very

indepedent.

"On the next day, Friday, the nations of the Taos, Pecuries, Jemez, and Queres having assembled during the past night, when dawn came more than 2,500 Indians fell upon us in the villa, fortifying and intrenching themselves in all its houses and at the entrances of all the streets, and cutting off our water, which comes through the arroyo and the irrigation canal in front of the casas reales. They burned the holy temple and many houses in the villa. We had several skirmishes over possession of the water, but, seeing that it was impossible to hold even this against them, and almost all the soldiers of the post being already wounded, I endeavored to fortify myself in the casas reales and to make a defense without leaving their walls. "
