An intimate day visit to the ancient, high-mesa pueblo village of Acoma led by Dr. Bruce Bernstein, executive director, Southwestern Association of Indian Arts (SWAIA) and the Santa Fe Indian Market. Settled around 1100, Acoma Pueblo is one of the oldest continuously inhabited communities in the U.S. and remains a vibrant center for traditional Native pottery making and tribal celebrations.

Begin the morning with a scenic trip to the Pueblo of Acoma. En route, learn about the extraordinary history and traditions of Southwest Pueblo societies in a ‘rolling’ introductory seminar led by Dr. Bruce Bernstein.
Once at Acoma, breathtakingly situated atop a 375 ft. sandstone bluff, meet traditional potters demonstrating the ancient spiritual practices, techniques and materials of Pueblo pottery.
Explore the Sky City Cultural Center and Haak’u Museum including the historically significant St. Esteban adobe church.
Enjoy a Pueblo lunch provided by the daughters of the late Lucy Lewis, who are themselves respected Acoma potters. Lucy Lewis's innovation and dedication to artistic traditions was seminal in bringing recognition to Southwestern pottery.
Continue to explore traditional Native pottery making at Laguna Pueblo.
