San Ildefonso Pueblo

San Ildefonso Pueblo is a Native American community located in northern New Mexico, known for its rich cultural heritage and artistic traditions, particularly pottery. Founded around the 12th century, it is one of the many Pueblo tribes, which are known for their unique adobe architecture and communal lifestyle. San Ildefonso gained fame in the early 20th century for its black-on-black pottery, which was revitalized by potters like Maria Martinez. Today, the Pueblo actively preserves its customs, language, and art while engaging with contemporary issues and promoting cultural awareness.
