Registered Nurse - Psychiatric

On the Trail of the Ancients... The Community - Acoma Pueblo Acoma Pueblo is regarded as the oldest continuously inhabited community in the United States. Access to the pueblo is difficult as the faces of the mesa are sheer. Before modern times accesswas gained only by means of a hand-cut staircase carved into the sandstone. There are several interpretations of origin of the name "Acoma ". Some believe that the name Acoma comes from the Keresan words for the People of the White Rock, with 'ku meaning white rock, and meh meaning people. Others believe that the word 'ku actually comes from the word haaku meaning to prepare; a description that would accurately reflect the defensive position of the mesa's inhabitants. Today, fewer than 50 tribal members live year-round in the earthen homes of Sky City. Those living in the community tend to the massive San Estevan del Rey Mission, completed in 1640. Both the mission and pueblo have been designated as a Registered National Historical Landmarks. Nearly 3,000 additional tribal members live in the nearby villages of Acomita, McCarty's and Anzac.
