The picture above is a scale model of a Native American pueblo house built by a few other students and me. On the top, there is a man sitting with his bow and arrows ready to protect his family. In the left corner, there is a corn grinding station where wives and mothers would sit and prepare the many different colors of corn. On the inside, there are "buffalo fur" blankets and beds. There is also a fire where people are sitting around keeping warm.
This is a picture of a totem pole made by the same group of students that made the pueblo house with me. Near the bottom are drawings of fires, corn, pottery and other things that the Southwest Native Americans used. The colors represent the different climates in the Southwest. The group I worked with named our "tribe" Dry Cloud because we knew that most of the year it is dry and hot outside.This totem pole represents the Southwest Native Americans, and some items they used in their daily lives.
