Located in Santa Fe, the Poeh Cultural Center, preserves and interprets the essence of what it means to be a Tewa person-to be Pueblo. Like all Tewa Pueblos of northern New Mexico, the Pueblo of Pojoaque or its traditional Po’su wae geh name, which translates to “water gathering place", was systematically stripped of its culture and traditions by European contact in the 16th century. The Pueblo of Pojoaque are revitalizing and sustaining their cultural traditions in part through the efforts of the Poeh. In the Tewa Pueblo language Poeh translates to “path" and the Poeh Cultural Center leads the way on the path to learning, discovering, and understanding Pueblo cultures and traditions.
