THE TIGUAS

The Tiguas, renowned for their farming and hunting talents, primarily consumed a diet of vegetables like corn, squash, beans, and melons, complemented by fish and rabbits for balance. They crafted clothing from dyed buckskin and built adobe homes in El Paso. After relocating due to a drought in 1670, the Tiguas established a new pueblo reminiscent of apartment buildings. Governed by a cacique and a war chief, they engaged in rituals at Hueco Tanks. Each family member contributed to farming, and significant cultural customs included passing down a ceremonial drum to protect newborns against evil.
