| | |  | | |  Known for their multistory dwellings, the Pueblo settled in the southwestern United States in what is now New Mexico. Ancestors of the ancient tribe called the Anasazi, the Pueblo were one of the first tribes to make contact with European explorers. Spaniards sought gold in the early 16th century, followed by others who sought to establish royal colonies and build missions. During the 1800s, Mexico and the United States fought for control of the region, and the Pueblo were forced to fight for their ancestral lands. Filmed on location at the Taos Pueblo, tribe elders focus on teaching the Pueblo language, culture and traditions to young tribe members.
