Former Miss Pueblo of Acoma Titleholders

A number of young women from the Pueblo of Acoma have chosen the opportunity to represent the tribe. After a hiatus of 23 years, a group of community members revitalized the pageant in hopes the young woman selected would encourage and model the Acoma language and traditions to include demonstrating quality leadership, while promoting and modeling a healthy lifestyle.
