Originally, Pueblo men didn't wear much clothing-- only breechcloths or short kilts. Pueblo women wore knee-length cotton dresses called mantas. A manta fastened at a woman's right shoulder, leaving her left shoulder bare. Missionaries didn't think this dress style was modest enough, so in the 1900's many Pueblo women started wearing blouses or shifts underneath their mantas. This style is still in use today. Men and women both woredeerskin moccasins on their feet. For dances and special occasions, women painted their moccasins white and wrapped white strips of deerskin calledputtee around their shins as leggings. Here is a site with photographs of Pueblo clothing styles, and some photos and links about Indian clothing in general.

The Pueblos did not traditionally wear warbonnets like the Sioux. Pueblo men usually wore cloth headbands tied around their foreheads instead. For special ceremonies, Pueblo dancers sometimes wore painted masks or crowns of feathers. Both men and women wore their hair gathered into a figure-eight shaped bun called a chongo, but some Pueblo men preferred to cut their hair to shoulder length. Except for certain religious ceremonies, the Pueblos didn't paint their faces or bodies. But they are famous for their beautiful silver and turquoise ornaments, particularly their elaborate necklaces.
Today, many Pueblo people still wear moccasins or mantas, but they wear modern clothes like jeans instead of breechcloths... and they only wear puttee or kilts on special occasions like a dance.
AS a Tigua Indian I myself dont know much about the traditional beliefs of the Tigua having been raised in the ways of my fathers people. I do however know that the traditional beliefs were mostly wiped out by the Spanish as well as the Tigua language, and replace with thoses of the Spanish people. The Tigua are now largely Christian, with a small mix of Tigua traditions- having traditional dances and drum music preformed on Christian holidays. so the Tigua Indians are Christian.

The Tigua tend to keep to themselves. They wanted nothing to do with warring or being friendly but as settlers and soldiers moved in to the territory the Tigua did not act aggressively. This all depends on what Tigua you are talking about too. There are the Tiwa of New Mexico, the Tigua of Ysleta del Sur in Texas and the Tigua of Ecuador in South America.
