The Estufa is the sacred meeting place of each
pueblo village, where the men congregate and
where all of the sacred rites of their religious
ceremonies are held. The Estufa is a circular
structure built mostly under ground and en-
tered by a single opening in the roof. The
Estufas are now used as places for holding the
civil, religious and secret ceremonies of the
tribe, but they were originally only the sleeping
and lounging places of the men and could not
be entered by the women. There are sacred
rites, lasting three days, held in the Estufa
previous to the Corn Dance.
