Laguna Indians



This is a picture of the Laguna Indians. The Laguna tribe was invaded in 1540 by the Spanish. Since then they have been pushed around by other people. They have many rituals and traditions in their tribe. Their religion is based on ancestor worship and nature gods. Most of the traditions have been able to remain in the tribe despite the fight to become more "American." Much of the income comes from the uranium ore-mining on the reservation.
