| The Poeh Museum is a unique hub of Pueblo culture that serves Native and non-Native peoples alike. As a center point of Pueblo culture and history, this museum strives to promote cultural preservation through curation, exhibition, and interaction.With a primary focus on the artists of the six Tewa-speaking pueblos of Northern New Mexico, its programs focus on the preservation of traditional and contemporary Pueblo art and culture. Its rapidly growing collections include contemporary, historical, and archaeological.Like all Tewa Pueblos of Northern New Mexico Pojoaque (or Po'su wah geh) Pueblo was systematically stripped of its heritage, culture and traditions by European contact in the sixteenth century. Pojoaque Pueblo is revitalizing their traditions in part through the efforts of the Poeh Center's mission to teach their native language, traditional song and dance, and material culture.On the completion of our new permanent exhibition, Nah Poeh Meng (On the Continuous Path), this exhibit will portray Tewa history from within the Tewa worldview - offering both Native and non-Native visitors a chance to experience Tewa stories through art, word, and history. |
