Description: North pueblo at Taos (The North American Indian; v.16) ; Description by Edward S. Curtis: Taos consists of two house-masses separated by Pueblo creek. The entire site was formerly surrounded by a protective wall, remains of which are still in place. The north structure is called Hlauoma ("cold elevated"), referring to its situation (north being regarded as up, and south as down). The other is Hlauqima (cold diminish").
