The Band

One of the oldest continuously inhabited communities in the U.S. along with Old Oraibi, AZ, both settled in the 11th century. Resisted the Spanish conquest and suffered tremendous casualties. Sky City is located 60 miles (96 km) west of Albuquerque, NM. Today, fewer than 50 Acomans live in Sky City year-around and the remaining residents live in nearby villages. Only on feast days do all the Acomans gather on the mesa top. Census 2000 counted a total of 2,802 Acoma villagers. Photographing the scenery and architecture is allowed with permits only.

The Flag

The flag is the seal of the pueblo on white field.
