A source guide for a deeper dive.This entry provides a brief orientation and an organized reading path. A comprehensive deep dive has not yet been completed. Follow the annotated sources and distinguish primary community accounts from outside reference material.
Still unfinished
A bounded actual-content starting path and specifically scoped credited picture are available. Fuller history, source comparison and community review remain open; quantity does not establish completion.
Assessment recorded October 28, 2026. This is separate from research completion and community review.
Develop broader community-authored history and substantive public Tewa educational sources beyond the preservation-project focus.
Read underlying agreements and later public project reports before claiming current outcomes.
The direct community-site certificate has expired; no bypass was used. The river photograph is upstream near Abiquiú, not the village, exact confluence or reservation land.
Backdrop photographs & credits
These photographs have individual, documented connections to this entry. Their captions and source records define the people, place, object, and period shown; no one photograph represents every community within a broader label.
Rio Chama near Abiquiú — upstream regional context, 2023 Matt Walter / Flickr photograph via Wikimedia Commons · CC BY 2.0
The photographer explicitly identifies the Rio Chama in/around Abiquiú. Ohkay’s own public introduction names the Rio Chama/Rio Grande confluence. This is an upstream regional waterway view, NOT the Pueblo, exact confluence, a former village, current reservation land or access permission. No relationship to another community is inferred from proximity. Complete available retrieved JPEG imported unchanged. Background/card CSS crops and overlays affect presentation; the opened page retains the complete available frame proportionally.

01
Identity and context
Ohkay Owingeh is a living Pueblo nation whose preferred name replaces the older San Juan Pueblo label in many sources.
Focus the next stage of research on: Pueblo-authored history, Tewa language and contemporary community life. The sources below are selected reading paths; their authorship, dates and community scope should guide how they are used.
The community-hosted feature reports residents, housing staff and architects working together to retain housing while adding contemporary amenities. Its interviews and project narrative are attributed accounts, with a Winter 2015 layout marker. They should not be read as a current census of renovated homes or a complete community history.
The federal case study describes youth documentation, consultation and a housing-authority project balancing preservation with contemporary living. Read it alongside the hosted feature, keeping process descriptions separate from uninspected agreements and later outcomes. The Pueblo’s own introduction supplies the river connection; an upstream Abiquiú view does not establish Pueblo boundaries or access.
Develop broader community-authored history and substantive public Tewa educational sources beyond the preservation-project focus.
Read underlying agreements and later public project reports before claiming current outcomes.
The direct community-site certificate has expired; no bypass was used. The river photograph is upstream near Abiquiú, not the village, exact confluence or reservation land.
Cohort13: selected actual-content reviews preserve their institutional/community scope. Existing source cards are upgraded at the same ID and URL where noted; repeated publications are not globally new works.

Indigenous-ledPueblo of Ohkay Owingeh; hosts reported preservation featureSource 1
The hosted feature describes community-led housing preservation through reported interviews with residents, housing staff and architects. It is a retrospective project account, not a complete Pueblo history.
Inspection: Content reviewed for the stated scope
Scope: Actual substantial indexed article body: selected housing-authority/architect partnership, youth documentation, resident/advisory participation, and traditional materials/modern amenities discussion. Winter 2015 layout marker encountered; original byline not established.

The federal case study explains youth documentation, intergovernmental consultation and the housing authority’s effort to combine preservation with contemporary living. It supplies an outside project interpretation to compare with the hosted feature.
Inspection: Content reviewed for the stated scope
Scope: Actual case-study main body: selected Story naming bridge; Project, process and construction/consultation explanations; consulting-parties list. Private traditional knowledge and ritual detail excluded.
