The Sioux, Cherokee, and Iroquois tribes called the Sandia Park area home for thousands of years. They were undisturbed as they developed their traditions and heritage, but from the time the first English, French, and Spanish explorers first arrived, the settlers took over Native American lands. Their desire to push further inland was fueled by a need to find additional resources, freedom, and adventure. As they searched for more space, the Native Americans were pushed off their land. Neglected cash payments, treaties, and barters forced the Native American people to move. Learn more about the Native American culture and heritage while visiting Sandia Park and the surrounding area’s museums.
