Pueblo Indians, North American Indian peoples known for living in compact permanent settlements known as pueblos. Representative of the Southwest Indian culture area, most live in north eastern Arizona and north western New Mexico.Pueblo peoples are thought to be the descendants of the prehistoric Ancestral Pueblo Anasazi culture. Each of the 70 or more Pueblo villages extant before Spanish colonization was governed by a council composed of the heads of religious societies. These societies were centred in the kivas, subterranean ceremonial chambers that also functioned as private clubs and lounging rooms for men. Traditionally, Pueblo peoples were farmers, with the types of farming and associated traditions of property ownership varying among the groups.
