The only tree in the pueblo. An indian has a table set-up to display her crafts. In the background is a cistern without any safety fence enclosure.
One of the Acoma children playing on rocks at the edge of the mesa. There is a drop of hundreds of feet with no safety barrier. All the moms on our tour were a bit nervous for this child.
Only 12 families live year round at the pueblo where there is no running water or electricity. They have port-a-potties around the village, and they must carrier water from wells. Small wood burning stoves are used for cooking and keeping them warm.
