History

Considerable change occurred during the Pueblo V Period due to Spanish colonization of the Americas beginning in the 16th century and the United States westward expansion of the 19th and 20th centuries. These influences resulted in:

• Population decline due to European diseases
• Efforts to secure traditional Pueblo lands by the Europeans and other Native American tribes
• Establishment of Indian reservations^[1]

The Crow Canyon Archaeological Center notes, "Today, Pueblo people live in the modern world while maintaining their distinct culture and rich traditional heritage."^[1]
