What was the name of Indian tribe named after spanish word for village?

The Indian tribe you are likely thinking of is the Pueblo tribe.

The word "Pueblo" is a Spanish word meaning "village" or "town." It was used by the Spanish conquistadors to describe the indigenous people of the Southwest who lived in permanent, multi-story villages made of adobe brick.

There are actually 19 Pueblo tribes recognized by the US government, each with its own distinct language and culture. Some of the most well-known Pueblo tribes include:

* Hopi

* Zuni

* Acoma

* Taos

* Laguna

* San Felipe

* Isleta

It's important to note that while the term "Pueblo" is commonly used to refer to these tribes, it is not a term that they themselves use. They each have their own individual names and identities.
