The legacy of an ancient lifestyle... the promise of a new one.

Paa-Ko - which means "root of the cottonwood tree" - takes its name from the nearby ruins of a Tano pueblo which was occupied intermittently from the fourteenth to the seventeenth centuries. The site, an archaeological treasure, was excavated in the 1930's. Multi-room dwellings, kivas, corrals and a wealth of artifacts (now preserved by the University of New Mexico) are an awe-inspiring chapter of the Paa-Ko story.

Here, what wasn't changed is more important than what was.
