Wigwam stories told by North American Indians, The Indians Who Live in Brick Houses, sentence 62
The tribes called Pueblos of New Mexico are not included with those which continue to live in the twenty-seven Pueblo towns, for whatever may have been their customs in past centuries, they are now very different from the Village Indians, who still live and worship after the manner of their ancestors.
Who acts: customs, Village Indians · What happens: call, not include, continue, live, be, worship · To what, where: tribes, seven Pueblo towns, customs, Village Indians · Speech: someone speaks here
