Acoma Pueblo, also known as Sky City, is one of the oldest continuously inhabited communities in the United States. The Acoma people have resided atop the 367-foot mesa for centuries, maintaining their traditions and culture. The cultural center serves as a vital link to this ancient heritage, providing educational resources and showcasing the artistic achievements of the Acoma people.
The preservation of Acoma culture is paramount. The cultural center contributes significantly to this effort by offering guided tours of the pueblo, museum exhibits displaying pottery, textiles, and other artifacts, and demonstrations of traditional crafts. These activities generate economic opportunities for the Acoma community while simultaneously educating visitors about the tribe’s rich history, customs, and ongoing resilience.
