*** About Kiva: A kiva is a ceremonial structure that was integral to the communities of the Pueblo peoples of the North American Southwest. Characteristically subterranean, these round rooms were used for various purposes, primarily religious ceremonies. Their construction involved meticulous architectural planning for thermal regulation, illustrating advanced understanding of environmental adaptation. Kivas serve not only as a peek into the ritualistic world of their builders but also as symbols of a complex society that thrived in harmony with the harsh desert landscape.
