I believe the answer is:

pueblo

(Other definitions for pueblo that I've seen before include "American Indian; town" , "Old communal village in Mexico or Spanish America" , "Mexican settlement" , "New Mexican native village" , "American native settlement" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
