Acoma Pueblo Community Profile  Acoma Pueblo is built atop a sheer-walled, 367-foot sandstone bluff in a
valley studded with sacred, towering monoliths. Since 1150 A.D., Acoma
Pueblo has earned the reputation as the oldest continuously inhabited
community in North America. The mesa-top settlement is known worldwide for
its unique art and rich culture.
A federally recognized Indian Tribe, Acoma Pueblo has a land base covering
431,664 acres and is home to 4,800 tribal members with more than 250
dwellings, none of which have electricity, sewer, or water. In 1629,
construction began on the massive San Esteban del Rey Mission, a Catholic
mission. Both the Mission and the Pueblo are Registered National Historical
Landmarks.
