Homemade wooden outhouses line the edge of a sandstone mesa that is home to the Acoma Pueblo, a Native American community of four indian villages in an isolated area some 60 miles (97 km) west of Albuquerque, the capital of New Mexico in southwestern USA. Founded in the 12th Century, Acoma is the oldest continuously inhabited settlement in North America. Some 30 tribal members live on the mesa in adobe dwellings that have no sewage disposal, electricity or running water. Tourists are welcome to join guided tours of the historic Sky City (Old Acoma) village.
