Common usage refers to Pecos Pueblo as "extinct," i.e., as no longer having a separate existence. This is a status shared by Soccoro Pueblo, Senecu Pueblo, and many others. I question, then, why "Cicuye Pueblo - now Pecos Pueblo" is included in the list of Pueblos, but the many other extinct Pueblos are not. At the least, the reference to "now" seems misleading. Perhaps a separate listing of Pueblos that no longer continue as functioning governments would be appropriate.

• I just changed it to be clearer, I think. I hope to return to editing this page (for one thing, it needs Hopi), like adding Feast Days. JerryFriedman

[edit] Gallery of pottery (bowls) by Pueblo people

The Field Museum has a nice collection of pottery, old and new, from the Pueblo people. For example, Cicuye pueblo showed notable facility and creativity. It would change the feel of the web page to add it; is that all right? If so, how it be in a separate header "Gallery of Pueblo pottery"? I can upload my images to that header on this page, if everyone is amenable. --Ancheta Wis 11:18, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

go for it. If someome says that it should go on a Pueblo Culture or Pueblo pottery page, [nothing there now] ask them to start one, or, do it yourself. Your pictures probably should be somewhere here, especially if you have good labels or text to accompany them. Carptrash 20:32, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Source for name change

The change from San Juan Pueblo to Ohkay Owingeh is official as of today, according to this AP story. —JerryFriedman 16:57, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

thanks. I am going to be driving past Ohkay Owingeh tomorrow and am curious to see if the road signs are changed or not. Given that the name is being changed from an Hispanic one to a native one I'm guessing that signage changes will not show up for a while. Of course there is always the possibility that the "San Juan signs will disappear overnight - so it will be interesting to observe. Carptrash 19:00, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

PS My in-house astrologer tells me that today is the perfect day to do this name change on. A full moon, while Mercury is retrograde is a great time to revert back to what they used to be. Carptrash 19:05, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
