"Laguna is surrounded by enchanting mesas and is situated at the foothills of the beautiful mountains of Mount Taylor. Laguna is located 45 miles west of Albuquerque on Interstate 40. The reservation consists of approximately 500,000 acres of land situated in Cibola, Valencia, Bernalillo and Sandoval counties. The residents of Laguna Pueblo live in six villages which are Laguna, Mesita, Paguate, Seama, Paraje, and Encinal. The Tribal administration building is located in the village of Laguna. You can experience the uniqueness of our Pueblo by visiting in person." - https://www.lagunapueblo-nsn.gov/
"i grew into self-consciousness in paguate village. my earliest memories originatie in this place--my first home. i continued to grow in the country, living in the very small rural community of cubero till i was almost ten. at. that time, my two youngest sisters and i were sent to a catholic girls' boarding school to 'learn to speak properly' (without accent); to 'read and write well' in the dominant language (enemy's language) because that is what my folks decided for us." - Carol Lee Sanchez
