Tesuque Pueblo

Nine miles north of Santa Fe along Hwy 84/285 is Tesuque Pueblo, whose members played an important role in the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, and later suffered as a result. Today, the reservation encompasses more than 17,000 acres of spectacular landscape, including sections of the Santa Fe National Forest. The San Diego Feast Day (November 12) features dancing, but as a general rule the Pueblo itself does not encourage visitors.

Pojoaque Pueblo

Although the history of Pojoaque Pueblo predates the Spaniards, a smallpox epidemic in the late 19th century killed most of its inhabitants, and forced the rest to evacuate. No old buildings remain. The few survivors intermarried with other Pueblo people and Hispanics, and a handful returned to the Pueblo in 1932, working to rebuild its traditions, crafts and culture. Their descendants now number about 300 – most of those who live on the Pueblo's land are not Native American.

The annual Virgin de Guadalupe Procession and Feast Day on December 11 and 12 is celebrated with ceremonial dancing.
