Taos Pueblo is the only living Native American community designated both a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and a National Historic Landmark. It is the ancient pueblo of a Northern Tiwa speaking Native American tribe of Pueblo people. As of 2006, about 150 people live in it full-time.
The multi-storied adobe buildings have been continuously inhabited for over 1000 years. In the Pueblo, electricity, running water, and indoor plumbing are prohibited.
