Tribe
The tribe this steed is based on are located in Acoma Pueblo, New Mexico, U.S. 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.
