The Sky City
The Community - Acoma Pueblo
Acoma Pueblo is regarded as the oldest continuously inhabited
community in the United States. Access to the pueblo is difficult
as the faces of the mesa are sheer. Before modern times access was
gained only by means of a hand-cut staircase carved into the
sandstone.
There are several interpretations of origin of the name "Acom ".
Some believe that the name Acoma comes from the Keresan words for
the People of the White Rock, with 'ku meaning white rock, and meh
meaning people. Others believe that the word 'ku ctually comes from
the word haaku meaning to prepare; a description that would
accurately reflect the defensive position of the mesa's
inhabitants.
Today, fewer than 50 tribal members live year-round in the earthen
homes of Sky City. Those living in the community tend to the
massive San Estevan del Rey Mission, completed in 1640. Both the
mission and pueblo have been designated as a Registered National
Historical Landmarks. Nearly 3,000 additional tribal members live
in the nearby villages of Acomita, McCarty's and Anzac.
