Santo Domingo Pueblo (also known as Kewa; Santo Domingo was the name given by the Spanish in 1600), is located between Albuquerque and Santa Fe, along the 1-25 corridor off Exit 259. For over 400 years, Santo Domingo Pueblo has been one of the central Pueblo communities in New Mexico and the homelands to many people for thousands of years. Their ancestral ties can be traced back to Mesa Verde and Chaco Canyon ancestors.
