Pueblo Indians

One of the attractions of the Albuquerque area are the Pueblos of New Mexico. The 19 pueblos are distinct in every way but they did join together to create the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center in Albuquerque. The center houses two exhibit rooms, a museum, a restaurant and several meeting rooms. On weekends the different pueblos take turns demonstrating their native dances.


"Code Talkers" were unsung heroes of WWI and WWII. The languages of the pueblo people were used as a code which was unbreakable as these languages do not have a root in any other language.
