Buffalo Thunder Resort is a tribal enterprise located on the Pueblo of Pojoaque (pronounced poh-Hwa-kay) near the Rio Grande River. Its name in the native Tewa language, P’osuwaege, means “water drinking place.” Today, the Pueblo continues its legacy as a welcoming oasis for visitors in the high desert.
The Resort opened its doors in 2008. It features centuries old, publeo-style architecture and an impressive collection of more than 250 museum quality works of art, including monumental sculptures from the current Governor of Pojoaque, George Rivera.
Governor Rivera is also Director of the Poeh Center which was established by the Pueblo of Pojoaque’s Tribal Council in 1998. The Center manages the Resort art collection. The Center emphasizes arts and cultures of all Pueblo People with a focus on the Tewa-speaking Pueblos of Nambe, Pojoaque, San Ildefonso, San Juan, Santa Clara and Tesuque; and the Tiwa-speaking Pueblos of Picuris and Taos. The Center’s mission is to support the future of Pueblo people by teaching the arts, collecting great works of art, and promoting public understanding of, and respect for, Pueblo history and culture.
