In the matrilocal residence pattern, related women, and their husbands and children, live in clusters of apartments within a larger structure, which is a classic description of both Ancestral #Puebloan and #Pueblo building requirements
Ancestral #Puebloan ruins are among the most spectacular ruins in North America—especially their elaborate cliff dwellings, such as the ones at Mesa Verde National Park, and such communities as Chaco Canyon

Aztec Ruins National Monument preserves 400+ rooms and a restored great kiva built by the Ancestral Puebloans around 1100 AD. Located in the Animas River valley, the site was a significant ceremonial, public, and economic center. It was abandoned around 1290 AD.

Walking through stone, we enter memory.
The walls speak in shadow and light.
We walk through stories shaped in silence.
The land listens still.
Each step honors those who came before.

The soul hums in canyon light.
The shape listens like desert stone.
The wind speaks the names of those who dreamed.
Where walls fall, the spirit takes flight.
History walks beside the sun.

Even quiet, the soul hums.
Even worn, the shape listens.
The wind speaks the names of those who dreamed.
Where walls fall, the spirit dances.
History does not fade—it walks beside you.

The spirit walks where the walls give way.
The wind remembers those who dared to dream.
Even worn, the shape stands.
Even still, the soul breathes.
History doesn’t vanish—it settles in.

Yellowish monochrome image of the interior of a restored native american puebloan structure. The image is heavily shadowed and sort of spooky looking, with brilliant light streaming in from a doorway. The roof appears to have wooden slats, while there's some sort of table or ceremonial raised surface at lower right.
#Windowonwednesday - OK, it's more of a door really, but what the hey. At Aztec Ruins Natl. Mon., New Mexico

The population declined to 152 by 1790, with 104 people left 15 years later, in 1805. By 1838 the 17 people remaining abandoned their ancestral home, walking 80-miles to Jemez Pueblo. Jemez is the only other Towa speaking pueblo (and the only one remaining).
