I hope this is not politically incorrect, but I am wondering if a pueblo is the same as a reservation. I'm new to the Southwest and this puzzles me having noticed Pueblo used in NM and Reservation used in AZ. Thanks to anyone who can enlighten me  |

Thanks so much AlisonL for that link. I googled and googled and couldn't come up with anything. I checked out the link to the Rio Grande botanical gardens too. I'll have to visit that.
And thanks rybert for the welcome. |

The Botanical garden is fantastic, even if you aren't a garden lover. Make sure to walk through the gardens to the back where the Japanese garden and historical farm are - you go between the two glass structures and down a 1/2 mile long path; well worth the extra effort. |

I believe that pueblos were existing Native American communities settled by tribes on their own and reservations were created by the government as a place to send Native Americans although some of the land deemed res was already considered Native American "turf".

I will, thanks for the heads up. I think I'll try for this week-end. Read that there's a butterfly pavillion as well, but that's not open til May. Went to the botanical gardens in Phoenix (or Scottsdale) a few weeks ago. It was just beautiful. |

That sounds like a very plausible explanation. Thanks, karmathecat! |

That is similiar to the explanation in the link I posted. |
