Native
American Facts…
The Oldest Continuously Inhabited
Settlement in North America is Acoma Pueblo
Perched atop a 367-foot sandstone
bluff in New Mexico, Acoma Pueblo is believed to be the oldest continuously
inhabited settlement in North America. The Acoma people, also known as the “Sky
City” dwellers, have lived in this ancient village for over a thousand years.
The pueblo’s stunning adobe buildings
and intricate pottery are testaments to the Acoma people’s resilience and
cultural heritage. Despite facing numerous challenges throughout history,
including a brutal massacre by Spanish conquistadors in 1599, the Acoma have
persevered and continue to maintain their traditional way of life.
Today, Acoma Pueblo is a National
Historic Landmark and a living reminder of the enduring spirit of Native
American communities.
