How Well Do You Know The History of The Wild West?

Since when has Acoma Pueblo been occupied?

Native Americans had populated their native lands for several generations before the arrival of Europeans. The case is the same with Acoma Pueblo, the settlement believed to be the oldest in the United States; the region lies to the west of Albuquerque, New Mexico, and has been occupied since the 12th Century.

The Acoma call their settlement the Sky City; it sits atop a 365-foot mesa and is home to about 4,800 people. The Acoma are historically hunters and traders but the existence of a casino complex and cultural center means they now make money from these too.
