When asking questions, do not push for an answer since it may be addressing a sensitive issue or event. Certain areas of tribal communities are off limits, these areas may or may not be posted. Do not climb walls or other structures. Some are several hundred years old and may not be safe. It is always advisable to drive slowly.
Tribal lands are quiet, restful places with children and animals often playing near roads.
Alcohol and drugs will not be tolerated on the reservations. It is advisable to leave pets at home or with a kennel service. Reservation animals may not be as tolerant as their owners. The best protocol to follow is to use respect and a lot of common sense. When visiting the 19 pueblos of New Mexico, remember that each pueblo has their own form of government and policies regarding visitors.
