Southwest Region
The southwest region stretched from the southwestern United States to northern Mexico.This region was very dry and had extreme temperatures. The days were hot and the nights were cold.The region contained mountains, flat-topped mesas, canyons, and deserts. It had very few trees or other plants. Slide3
How Native Americans built their Pueblos
Since this region had a hot and dry climate with very few trees for wood to build their homes, they used thick clay bricks called adobe. They built apartment buildings that were four to five stories high. They used ladders to move from one story to another. Slide4
How I built my Pueblo
I cut a shoe box into two pieces.I spray painted the shoe box pieces with a paint that had a sandy texture like the adobe bricks used by the Native Americans.After the paint dried I used a hot glue gun to glue the pieces together to make the apartment building.
I added sticks for the roofing and a ladder. Slide5
Native American tribes of the Southwest
Some of the Native Americans who lived here were nomadic, like the Apache. Other Native American tribes like the Hopi also lived here and found ways to farm with little water.Slide6
Native American Culture of the Southwest Region
The hot and dry climate made it difficult to farm, but the Hopi found ways to raise crops like corn, beans, squash, and cotton with very little water. There was a lot of clay in this region. The Hopi used the clay to make pots to store their limited water. Slide7
