Abstract
Western Puebloan women exert a powerful role in sociocultural life. Although it has been claimed that women are excludedfrom Western Puebloan religion, the ritual behavior of the men is largely imitative of the reproductive power of women. Furthermore, women in this society play an important but unofficial role in ceremonial and a central role in the domestic and community spheres. Integral to these roles and to Western Puebloan ideology in general are both the actual and symbolic processes described as producing life and 'feeding.
