CT Tech

Computerized Tomographic Technologist

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 access was 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 aa'ku meaning white rock, and meh meaning people. Others believe that the word aa'ku actually comes from the word haaku meaning to prepare; a description that would accurately reflect the defensive position of the mesa's inhabitants.

The nearest major airport is Albuquerque International Sunport (ABQ / KABQ). This airport has domestic flights from Albuquerque, New Mexico and is 70 miles from the center of Acoma Pueblo, NM.
