Jemez Indian People

Jemez (from Hä'-mish, or Hae'-mish, the Keresan name of the pueblo.—Bandelier). The Jemez Pueblo is located about fifty miles Northwest of Albuquerque, New Mexico. The Jemez people are the ancestors of the great Anasazi of the four corners area. Although they have a small population of about 3100 tribal members they hold true to their customs and traditions. The only time non tribal members are permitted to go into the pueblo is when there are feats/festivals and these are rarely announced. Fortunately, Alltribes Native American Art has had the opportunity to personally know some of the pottery artists from Jemez Pueblo.
