The Pueblo V period (AD 1600 to present) is the final period of Ancestral Puebloan culture in Oasisamerica and includes contemporary Pueblo peoples. From the previous Pueblo IV period, all 19 of the Rio Grande valley pueblos remain in the contemporary period. The only remaining pueblo in Texas is Ysleta del Sur Pueblo, and the only remaining pueblos in Arizona are maintained by the Hopi. The rest of the Pueblo IV pueblos were abandoned by the nineteenth century.
The Pueblo V period (Pecos Classification) is similar to the "Regressive Pueblo period."
History Considerable change occurred during the Pueblo V period due to Spanish colonization of the Americas beginning in the 16th century and the United States westward expansion of the 19th and 20th centuries. These influences resulted in: Population decline due to European diseases Efforts to secure traditional Pueblo lands by the Europeans and other Native American tribes Establishment of Indian reservationsPueblo Indian History Crow Canyon Archaeological Center.

The Crow Canyon Archaeological Center notes, "Today, Pueblo people live in the modern world while maintaining their distinct culture and rich traditional heritage."
