Taos Pueblo

Taos Pueblo is the ancient town of the Northern Tiwa[?] speaking tribe of Pueblo, Native Americans. It lies about one mile north of modern Taos, New Mexico on the Rio Pueblo[?], a small stream which flows from the Sangre de Christo Range. 95 thousand acres are attached to the pueblo; about 2000 people live there. In their own language the name of Taos is Tua-tah which means "our village."

Taos is a multi-storied complex of reddish-brown adobe divided into two parts by the Rio Pueblo.
