Acoma Pueblo: San Esteban

1. Lummis, The Land of Poco Tiempo , p. 42. Lummis was convinced that the Acoma myths were accurate, although a complete vindication of his assertions came only after an 1897 expedition to the top of Enchanted Mesa found evidence of early inhabitation. See Houlihan and Houlihan, Lummis in the Pueblos , pp. 62-64, for a more complete telling of the incidents. [BACK]

4. Given that the pueblo regained its strength in several years, some scholars believe that the reports of Benavides, the battle, and the retributions have been exaggerated. [BACK]
