Acoma Pueblo (/ˈækəmə/, Western Keres: Áakʼu) is a Native American pueblo approximately 60 miles (97 km) west of Albuquerque, New Mexico, in the United States. Four communities make up the village of Acoma Pueblo: Sky City (Old Acoma), Acomita, Anzac, and McCartys. These communities are located near the expansive Albuquerque metropolitan area, which includes several large cities and towns, including neighboring Laguna Pueblo. The Acoma Pueblo tribe is a federally recognized tribal entity,[3] whose historic land of Acoma Pueblo totaled roughly 5,000,000 acres (2,000,000 ha). Today, much of the Acoma community is primarily within the Acoma Indian Reservation.[4] Acoma Pueblo is a National Historic Landmark.
According to the 2010 United States Census, 4,989 people identified as Acoma.[5] The Acoma have continuously occupied the area for over 2000 years,[6] making this one of the oldest continuously inhabited communities in the United States (along with Taos and Hopi pueblos).[7]Acoma tribal traditions estimate that they have lived in the village for more than two thousand years
