(Redirected from
Pueblo de Taos)
is the ancient town of the Northern
Tiwa speaking tribe of
Pueblo people,
Native Americans. It lies about one mile north of modern
Taos, New Mexico on the Rio Pueblo , a small stream which flows from the
Sangre de Cristo Range. 95,000 acres (384 km²) are attached to the pueblo; about 2000 people live there. In their own language the name of Taos is Tua-tah which means "our village."
Taos' most prominent architectural feature is a multi-storied residential complex of reddish-brown adobe divided into two parts by the Rio Pueblo.
