We Are of This Place: The Pueblo Cultural Center



Another new addition to our SchoolArts/CRIZMAC Tres Culturas experience next summer will be a visit to the Pueblo Cultural Center in Albuquerque. This center represents the Eight Northern Pueblos in Northern New Mexico.


The main exhibit is called "We Are of This Place,"and beautifully represents the culture, traditions, and beliefs of the Pueblo Indian.
