While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
  • Modern Pueblo tribal nations were preceded by the Ancestral Puebloan civilization, which occupied parts of the southwestern US until approximately 1600 CE.
  • Yellow Jacket Pueblo in southwestern Colorado is a former Ancestral Puebloan settlement inhabited from approximately 1075-1250 CE.
