Need more about history and about the recovery of Blue Lake.

An anonymous editor added the composite photo in the are pink

It's attractive, but none of the individual photos are captioned, so it's not really encyclopedic as it stands. Plus the composite is a bit busy and repetitious. And this is already an image-heavy article.

I can probably caption most of the pix in the composite when I have time, but this one needs to be incorporated with the other photos, if we decide to keep it. So the image presentation of the article needs some thought -- and pruning.Pete Tillman (talk)19:53, 18 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've pruned down the gallery, and added a note to try to keep it from getting bigger. When I have time, I'll make a Taos Pueblo gallery at Commons, for other photos & images --Pete Tillman (talk)21:11, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As a member the Taos Pueblo Tribe. I feel that it is wrong to state that we practice the Native American church because WE DO NOT PRACTICE NATIVE AMERICAN CHURCH! that is the Navajo and Apache tribes! NOT US!— Precedingunsigned comment added by75.160.57.17 (talk)00:15, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

TheTaos Pueblo web site says "ancient Indian religious rites" are still practiced.—howcheng{chat}20:49, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Which are indeednot the same as theNative American Church, which is a peyote practice. I will attempt to correct the article.Yworo (talk)22:03, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Picture of the day

Front view of the entrance to Mission deSan Geronimo church atTaos Pueblo, an ancientpueblo belonging to aTaos (Northern Tiwa) speaking Native American tribe ofPueblo people. It is approximately 1,000 years old and lies about 1 mile (1.6 km) north of the modern city ofTaos, New Mexico. The church was originally built around 1620, but was destroyed several times. The current building (pictured) is the fourth to be built. Today, about 90% of the Taos community are baptized asCatholics, but many still also practice their indigenous religion.Photo:Ansel Adams; Restoration:Ryan Kaldari

Article has a clear conflict when stating the age of the Taos Pueblo. First it states is is 1000 years old (and the oldest continual inhabited community in US---which it is not; Oraibi on Hopi REservation is). Then, it states the Tiwa people migrated to Taos in 13th century and built the pueblo. That would be 1200 AD (CE) and would make the pueblo circa 800 years old. Feel the article needs to take care of the conflict and add correct facts. If Tiwa people state it is 1000years old in their oral tradition, then the article needs to state so...

Would be best to state that the Tiwa People or Taos People participate in two religions -- Catholicism and their traditional Taos Religions simotaneously. Also, if only 90 percent are baptized Catholic, what religion do the other 10 per cent practice?— Precedingunsigned comment added by70.41.0.38 (talk)21:56, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The river running through the pueblo serves as the primary source for drinking and cooking water for the residents of the village. In the winter, the river never completely freezes although it does form a heavy layer of ice. Because the river moves so swiftly, the ice can be broken to obtain the fresh water beneath.

It is not referenced and anyway I have spent too much time at the water machines at nearby Cids and Smiths discussing water with Pueblo residents to know that the stream is not the "primary source for drinking and cooking water" any more. I am happy to be corrected by editors with deeper insights. Einar akaCarptrash (talk)14:25, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi everyone,

I am planning on adding a paragraph to the culture section of this article in order to better explain on the subject on the involvement of gender roles in the Taos Pueblo culture, values, and traditions. Please let me know of any suggestions you have on what should be included in the paragraph.

Thanks,
