About Laguna Pueblo in brief
The Laguna Pueblo is a federally recognized tribe of Native American Pueblos in west-central New Mexico, near the city of Albuquerque. Part of the Laguna territory is included in the Albuquerque metropolitan area, chiefly around Laguna’s Route 66 Resort and Casino. The name, Laguna, is Spanish and derives from the lake on their reservation. Lagunas traditionally speak the Western variety of Keresan. Most Laguna elders do not speak English.
The reservation consists of approximately 500,000 acres. The people of Laguna have a long history of residing in and farming along the Rio San José. The Irish surname Riley was adopted by many members of the laguna tribe in the 1800s, for legal use in European-American culture, while they retained their Laguna names for tribal use. The Laguna Development Corporation; founded in 1998, is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Puebla oflaguna.
