Identity and context
Pojoaque Pueblo is a living Pueblo nation in New Mexico.
Focus the next stage of research on: Pueblo-authored history, Tewa language context and contemporary institutions. The sources below are selected reading paths; their authorship, dates and community scope should guide how they are used.
Pojoaque dates its language department’s establishment to a 2018 Tribal Council resolution. Its public account describes second-language learners working with first-language speakers, developing immersion-based curriculum and training teachers. These are specific efforts and aims; the page does not establish proficiency throughout the community.
The Poeh dates its establishment to 1988 and describes planning involving Tribal Council, artists, staff and community members. Its account brings arts teaching, archives, exhibitions and collections together. The timeline distinguishes the 1991 original museum, later buildings and the 2005 permanent collection unveiling.
