Akama

Appearance
Akama is a black and white paint horse whose body emits a soft, white aura and trails of white, blue, yellow, and green sparkles and stars. She has streaks of yellow-green in bands on her front legs, green stripes on her neck and flank, and green to red gradient stripes on her face. Her mane is mostly black, with a large white section in the middle. Her tail is tied at the top with two green and white feathers, and another two of these feathers are tied into her mane.

Personality
Akama has never put much stake in destiny, preferring to believe that she can choose her own fate. She does her best every day to make that fate a good one and encourages others to do the same.

Bat
Akama has a special connection with bats. She loves to greet them as they awake from their daytime slumber to head off hunting.

The Name Game
The tribe this steed is based on is located in Acoma Pueblo, New Mexico. Their name means “The People of the White Rock.” Acoma Pueblo is the oldest continuously inhabited location in the U.S. Like other Pueblo tribes, the Acoma built permanent dwellings out of adobe bricks. They were active traders with Pueblo tribes to the east and west and with Aztecs and Mayans to the south.

Acoma Pueblo is also known as Sky City because of its location high atop a 370-foot tall mesa. A mesa is a flat-topped hill with sheer cliff sides formed by differential erosion. Mesa means “table” in Spanish. The Acoma have historically been allied with the Laguna tribe. That alliance survives today. Their reservations border each other, and they share many resources between them, including a high school. The Acoma have been master potters for 2000 years.
