Nambé Pueblo sits at the base of the majestic Sangre de Cristo Mountains off N.M. 503. Nambé was established around the 1300s and served as the primary cultural and religious center for the Pueblo people. It was nearly destroyed when the Spanish conquerors arrived in the New Mexico territory and learned of its importance. Today, there are about 1,764 people living at the pueblo.

In the Tewa language, spoken by the people of the Nambe Pueblo, the word Nambe means "People of the Round Earth." Perhaps this is a reference to the landscape which encircles the pueblo, with its spectacular beauty and the breath-taking view of the Sangre de Christo Mountains in the distance.
