- When I visited the Taos Pueblo a few years ago, the young native woman who was the guide told us that their native language (Tiwa) and their religion were not shared with outsiders. This was disappointing to me because I wanted to know what Tiwa sounded like. On the other hand, after centuries of suppression of their native culture and religion, I could understand. Located on the Pueblo, the most recent of all the adobe structures, is a Catholic mission. The Taos natives (duh ... don't even know the name of their tribe) found it relatively easy to accommodate the Catholic missionaries since they could relate the virgin Mary to mother earth. So the two traditions became intertwined, but the natives never completely adopted the Catholic faith, as is true of most native of Latin Americans. It was also heartening to know that the younger generation of native Americans are more accepting now of their traditional language and religion. So, if they don't won't to share it, that is fine with me. Taos is a United Nations World Heritage site and it is maintained in its historical state without running water or electricity. There is a resident community there; it must be quite an honor to live in the Pueblo since most of the members of the tribe live off site. It is a wonderful site with great beauty.
