What is a Pueblo?
Pueblos are modern and old communities of Native Americans in the Southwestern United States. The first Spanish explorers of the Southwest used this term to describe the communities housed in multi-storied structures built of stone, adobe mud, and other local material. The houses have flat roofs and can be one or more stories tall. Pueblo is the Spanish word for “village” or “town.”

Cuyamungué Pueblo.
The ancient Cuyamungué Pueblo site is on the land of the Cuyamungue Institute. An excavation of the ruins of the Cuyamungué Pueblo was begun in June, 1952, by the Museum of New Mexico and the School of American Research. These excavations revealed that the Pueblo was first built around 1300. Different phases of construction indicate that the Pueblo was periodically occupied and abandoned, only to be reoccupied. The period of greatest population was from 1400 – 1500. Today, the Cuyamungué Pueblo is a under the protection of the Cuyamunge Institute working in cooperation with the Pojoaque Pueblo. The Board of Directors of the Cuyamungue Institute understand the importance of protecting and preserving this sacred land. We take this role of stewardship very seriously.
