Talk:Santo Domingo Pueblo, New Mexico

Untitled
I don't know offhand if the language of Santo Domingo is Tewa, Tiwa, Towa, or Keres. Two of these have non-empty links. I'll look into that further when I have the time. Whatever, it's not in the article.

Also this article (and presumably others about pueblos) discuss it (per template) as though it were a town, which isn't exactly accurate. I just wonder about that a bit. ;Bear 22:39, 2004 Apr 1 (UTC)

Santo Domingo Pueblo has recently (year, 2010) changed its name to Kewa Pueblo, which was its traditional name.

unintentional article fork?
Does Pueblo of Santo Domingo (Kiua) have a separate scope? Arlo James Barnes 21:02, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

Kewa Pueblo
I have moved the article title back to "Santo Domingo Pueblo", because that is still the name given by the U.S. Census Bureau. I would love to provide more information about the name "Kewa Pueblo", but I have not yet found a source for it. Any other readers, please provide a source for the Kewa name. Thanks, --Ken Gallager (talk) 19:00, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Dug deeper into the article and am placing the Constable reference in the first paragraph. The article, as it is cast as a census-designated place, should retain its CDP name. --Ken Gallager (talk) 19:10, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I certainly understand the logic that since this is described as a census-designated place it should be referred to by its legal name. However, it very much seems to me that the article is as much, if not more, about the community itself as it is about the modern legal/geographic entity. Since this community has voted to change the name, I think it would be appropriate to use this name, which to my understanding has wide currency outside of the community as well. A good compromise might be to mention (with citation) in the first paragraph that the Census Bureau still recognizes it as Santo Domingo Pueblo. Pliny the Elderberry (talk) 04:23, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I've been thinking about this over the weekend and am inclined to agree with you. I'm going to take a look at the other pueblo articles in New Mexico for guidance. --Ken Gallager (talk) 12:21, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I've moved the article back to "Kewa Pueblo, New Mexico", and added an "Infobox ethnic group" for the pueblo above the Santo Domingo CDP infobox. Feel free to add to the Kewa infobox. --Ken Gallager (talk) 12:42, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
 * , thank you for taking another look. -- A Rose Wolf  13:12, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
 * yes, thank you very much for moving the article back to "Kewa Pueblo, New Mexico", and moving up 2010 The New Mexican news citation when the name change was announced at the All Indian Pueblo Council. The new wording in the lead is really clear and the infobox change resolves any possible confusion. Netherzone (talk) 14:35, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

As a federally recognized Native American tribe, the tribal council determines its official name. Thank you for restoring the updated name. Yuchitown (talk) 18:47, 19 July 2021 (UTC)Yuchitown

Kewa Pueblo, New Mexico → Santo Domingo Pueblo, New Mexico – The tribe has legally changed their official name to Santo Domingo Pueblo, as recorded in the 2024 Federal Register. Note: unlike other neighboring Pueblos, they aren't using the "Pueblo of Santo Domingo" format. The tribe had previously changed their name to Kewa, as discussed above, but now have changed it back to Santo Domingo. Yuchitown (talk) 15:42, 9 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Comment: Some other third-party sources substantiating the name change to Santo Domingo Pueblo include the NEA, BIA, US Census Bureau, NARF, and USDA. Yuchitown (talk) 15:48, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Support - as the tribe legally changed their name backed up by several sources. -- A Rose Wolf  13:33, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
