At the center of Pueblo Indian life is a religion based on ceremonies - rituals that reflect the natural rhythms of the world as it moves throughout the seasons. Birds have a very special place in Pueblo life; they are messengers to the gods, and their feathers are used as prayer offerings to the spirit realm, which is also the natural world.
A tremendous amount of information on Pueblo life and thought is woven into a narrative that can serve as an introduction to the richness of Native American cultures.
