Lifestyle
written by Mariah The Pueblo people lived a relatively simple life. Their lives mainly consisted of hunting and farming; the two things they really needed to survive. The jobs did differ depending on the gender of the person; women usually worked the crops growing beans, squash, tobacco, cotton and corn. Corn was grown in small patches on dessert slopes. Farming tools such as rakes and hoes were made from deer antlers and buffalo shoulders. Men were the hunters; they hunted deer, antelope, rabbits and buffalo. Men not only hunted but also wove cotton for clothing and baskets. They washed this clothing by cutting a wild gourd or buffalo gourd in half and use the insides as a stain remover and laundry detergent. Woman also wove baskets but instead of also weaving cotton they made pottery. Working together as a community the Pueblo people worked to make their lives work.
