Acoma Pueblo Indians

Acoma People have an ancient civilization. Below is a map of these four Reservations which are actually one Reservation and google earth photos of near their main town of Old Acoma (Sky City) and other communities within these four Reservations which are really just one Reservation. Besides Old Acoma, they have three other small communities. They are Acomita, Anzac and McCarty's. This Acoma Indians Pueblo Reservation is actually connected to Canoncito, Isleta and Laguna Reservations. All are connected or same Reservation. They are related to Apache's and Navajo's or they are an admixture of Ojibway and Pueblo Indians. Their Old Acoma Town is considered one of an oldest continuously inhabited towns in North America. Old Acoma, however, is situated on top of a mesa, several hundred feet higher in elevation than that region that surrounds it. To trained archeologists, it means it was built for defensive purposes. It may not be as old as they think. According to 2010's census, Acoma Pueblo Indians on-Reservation population is 2,949. Acoma Reservation covers 595.0 sq. mi. or 1,541 sq. km. Combined with those three other Reservations, total size of this Reservation west of Alberquerque, is 1,831.6 sq. mi. or 4,744 sq. km. Their combined on-Reservation population is 11,686. Their language is Keres or Keresan. Senor Don Antonio Garcia Cubas classified this Keres Language as Keres-Zuni Language Dialect, which Mexican Linguistics categorized as being a part of Mexican-Opata Language Family. Their information was for Indians native to Mexico. That be before 1848. Later, it was changed to Uto-Aztecan Language Family by Americans. Cubas wrote, however, that it's doubtful. They don't know for certain is what they meant. We know Shoshone People are Ojibway. Thus, this Mexican-Opata Language Family now known as Uto-Aztecan Language Family, is an extension of Ojibway Language. Cubas listed Apache and Navajo as independent from this Mexican-Opata Language Family. However, he first listed this Apache Language Family as being Apache or Yavipai, Navajo, Mescalero, Llanero Lipan, ect. He listed "Yavipai" as Mexican-Opata or within "El Yuma" Language Dialects. For some reason he listed "Apache" as being "Yavapai." He was sneaky. He first listed "Apache" as "Mexican-Opata."
