The Virgin Ancestral Pueblo peoples were the westernmost Ancestral Pueblo peoples group in the American Southwest.

Their neighbors were the Fremont culture to the north and the Kayenta Pueblo peoples to the east.

Hundreds of Ancestral Puebloan dwellings are found across the American Southwest. With almost all constructed well before 1492 CE, these Puebloan towns and villages are located throughout the geography of the Southwest. Many of these dwellings included various defensive positions, like the high steep mesas such as at the ancient Mesa Verde complex or the present-day Acoma "Sky City" Pueblo. Earlier than 900 CE progressing past the 13th century, the population complexes appear to have been major cultural centers for the Pueblo peoples. There were also settlements scattered throughout the region of varying sizes.

The census does not, however, enumerate "Native Americans" as such, noting that the latter term can encompass a broader set of gr…

The history of the Pueblo peoples are the recorded experiences of the Pueblo peoples of the Southwestern United States and Northern Mexico before and after contact with European and African people. Ancestral precontact cultures in the region include Mogollon and Ancestral Pueblo peoples. Contact with Spanish colonizers led by Juan de Oñate in the late 16th century led to cataclysmic change, including the 1680 Pueblo Revolt. However, Pueblo peoples continue to be prevalent in the Southwest.
