San Ildefonso Village/Po-who-ge Oweenge (Where the Water Cuts Through )
When the Spanish arrived in New Mexico, San Ildefonso Pueblo was one of the largest Tewa
pueblos. San Ildefonso Pueblo held off Spanish soldiers during the 1680 Pueblo Revolt atop Black
Mesa. San Ildefonso Pueblo was known for large ollas, large storage jars. Around 1880 the storage
jars diminished and a new interest in pottery making began. Maria Poveka Martinez and her husband,
Julian, initiated the distinctive black on black matte style pottery, which San Ildefonso is famous
for today. Currently, San Ildefonso is home to many potters and artists, and is a flourishing art
community. With economic development ventures, the Pueblo owns Totavi and White Rock Gas
Stations, Cottonwood Trading Post, and Tewa.Com, an internet provider.

Santa Ana Pueblo/Tamaya (Dancing Place)
The original Keresan Pueblo of Santa Ana is located on the north bank of the Jemez River. During
the Spanish colonization of New Mexico, Santa Ana Mission was established for the pueblo. Today,
the Santa Ana Mission remains as the original church used by the congregation of the pueblo. The
pueblo maintains two places of residence, one along the Rio Grande as a farming community and
the other a traditional village on the Jemez River. In honor of its patron Saint Ann, the Santa Ana
Pueblo Feast Day is July 26 of each year. Santa Ana Pueblo has aggressively developed major
economic endeavors successfully on its tribal land, including the Santa Ana Star Casino, Hyatt
Regency Tamaya Resort & Spa and the Twin Warriors Golf Club. These tribal businesses have
created a nucleus for economic development on the reservation and have extended services into the
nearby historic town of Bernalillo and the City of Albuquerque.
