This is a rare opportunity to learn about one of the 22 soverign nations within New Mexico while seeing Acoma with KUNM's gracious and knowledgeable convenor of the Singing Wire Collective which has brought Native American music to the airwaves for almost as long as the station has been on air!

Acoma Pueblo is built atop a sheer-walled, 367-foot sandstone bluff in a valley studded with sacred, towering monoliths. 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.
