Poeh Cultural Center

The Poeh Cultural Center, located in Santa Fe, NM, is a gathering place dedicated to the respectful preservation and revitalization of Tewa traditions. As the first permanent tribally owned and operated mechanism for cultural preservation in the northern Rio Grande Valley, the center offers a range of exhibits, classes, and events that celebrate the arts and cultures of the Tewa-speaking Pueblos. With its traditional Pueblo village-inspired facility and emphasis on the Tewa-speaking Pueblos of Pojoaque, San Ildefonso, San Juan, Santa Clara, Tesuque, and Nambe, the Poeh Cultural Center serves as a vital resource for Pueblo people to reconnect with their ancestral heritage. Through its diverse programming, including exhibits like "Di Wae Powa: They Came Back" and events like the Pathways Indigenous Arts Festival, the Poeh Cultural Center aims to inspire and educate visitors about the rich history and artistic traditions of the Tewa Pueblo. By providing a pathway for Tewa people to express their creativity and share their cultural knowledge, the center plays a crucial role in revitalizing and sustaining the cultural traditions that were once systematically stripped away by European contact. With its mission to be a beacon of Tewa traditions, the Poeh Cultural Center invites visitors to embark on a journey of discovery and appreciation for the beauty and significance of Tewa arts and culture.Generated from the website
