Strengthening Community & Tradition
Tesuque Pueblo
"The Pueblo of Tesuque has existed in the foothills of the gorgeous Sangre de Cristo mountains since as early as 1200 AD. Tesuque is the Spanish variation of a traditional Tewa language name for “village of the narrow place of the cottonwood trees.” The beauty of the surrounding land has served as inspiration for countless native artists who craft beautiful paintings, pottery, clothing and silverwork. Deeply rooted in Pueblo tradition, Tesuque Pueblo observes traditional ceremonies year-round, including the annual feast day of San Diego on November 12. Tesuque Pueblo is also one of the smallest pueblos in the state, with a population of around 800, though the pueblo itself occupies more than 17,000 acres of land. Due to the age of the pueblo, it is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. All forms of photography are forbidden at the Pueblo." from www.tesuquecasino.com/about/ Tribal Offices: (505) 983-2667 |

Tesuque Pueblo Farm is supporting food security and seed sovereignty, and is aligned with the priorities of the All Pueblo Council of Governors:
"Without corn there is no song
Without song there is no dance Without dance there is no rain Without rain there is no corn. If corn dies, we die. There are more planting songs than cornfields now." (Source: Robert Mirabal from
