Many travelers are attracted to the United States by an opportunity to explore the authentic Indian settlement. One of such places is the Taos Pueblo. It is located in New Mexico, near the town of Taos. The Taos Pueblo community is considered one of the most hidden and conservative in the country. The main symbol of the settlement is a multi-storey residential complex built of clay. It divides the Rio Pueblo river into two parts.
According to historical data, the complex could be built between the 11th and 15th centuries AD. Now, more than a hundred people are living in it. The main value of the community are the unique cultural traditions that have remained unchanged for hundreds of years. Details of Indian life settlement are shrouded by a veil of secrecy. It’s not easy to enter the territory of the reserve.
In course of ordinary excursions, travelers can admire the settlement from afar. Its territory is surrounded by a protective wall. Even from a distance, you can see a lot of unusual things including the legendary multi-storey building, the old cemetery and the river, which hundreds of years ago has attracted people to these places. Some cultural traditions of the community are known to historians and researchers. Above all, its residents appreciate the interests and prosperity of the tribe. They honor the family tradition. Thus, each of the families in the community of Taos Pueblo has to live in a separate home. Sharing a place even with blood relatives is against rules.
