Acoma Pueblo

Acoma has been translated into English as both the “people of the white rock” as well as “a place always prepared.” They are descended from Anasazi and earlier Mogollon cultures, and their pueblo has been continuously inhabited since the thirteenth century.

Acoma Pueblo is a Native American pueblo approximately 60 miles west of Albuquerque, New Mexico, in the United States. Four communities make up the village of Acoma Pueblo: Sky City (Old Acoma), Acomita, Anzac, and McCartys. These communities are located near the expansive Albuquerque metropolitan area, which includes several large cities and towns, including neighboring Laguna Pueblo. The Acoma Pueblo tribe is a federally recognized tribal entity. Today, much of the Acoma community is primarily within the Acoma Indian Reservation. Acoma Pueblo is a National Historic Landmark.
