Since the region is hot and dry, these people had to live near water sources. They had their own local governments and often lived in towns and villages, so Spanish explorers called them the Pueblo, which means “village” in Spanish. The Oasis people farmed the land and grew corn and cotton. They didn’t eat much meat, but they sometimes ate rabbits. They ate little fish, because their desert habitat had few lakes or rivers for fishing. The Oasis people were the first Americans known to make clothes from cotton. The men and women both wore long hair. These people were great builders. They used sandstone and a type of sandy clay called adobe to build rectangular home. The rooms were built next to or on top of each other, like modern apartments. Although the desert area where they lived is now part of America and Mexico, descendants of the Oasis people continue to live there and follow their ancestors’ customs and beliefs.
