Most important affairs, such as war, hunting, religion, and agriculture; however, were governed by priesthoods or secret societies. The Pueblo people continued to utilize irrigation methods to grow corn, beans, pumpkins, cotton and tobacco. In the beginning, they hunted with spears, rather than bow and arrows, but were never known to fish. The only domestic animal was the dog, which was used as a beast of burden. They also continued to make elaborate baskets and pottery, as well as becoming expert woodcarvers and decorating ceremonial clothing with shells, turquoise, feathers, and furs.

The Zuni were the first to become known to the Europeans in when Fray Marcos of Niza, a Franciscan, journeyed northward from Mexico, in search of the fabled Seven Cities of Cibola. When guides were sent forward, they discovered the Zuni settlement of Hawikuh.
He then returned to Mexico with glowing reports. Soon, a new expedition was organized under Francesco Vasquez de Coronado was sent into the region arriving in July and taking the Zuni community before expanding into other parts of what is now New Mexico and Arizona. The Spaniards first found the Indians friendly, but after wielding their authority and forcing their religion upon the Native Americans , they begin to resist resulting in the Tiguex War during the winter of After putting down the Indians, killing thousands of them, Coronado continued in his journey as far as Quivira in central Kansas.
The war with the Indians in New Mexico and the many diseases that the Spanish brought later resulted in the abandonment of many of the pueblos. Afterward, Europeans were no longer welcomed at the pueblos and were often attacked.
