Cochiti Pueblo Development

What Cochiti Pueblo Development does

Cochiti Pueblo Development is the governing entity of the Pueblo de Cochiti, a federally recognized tribal nation located on 53,779 acres of reservation land in north-central New Mexico. The enterprise delivers core governmental services to enrolled tribal members across education, health, family services, elderly care, tribal court, public safety, and natural resource management, while simultaneously operating two commercial enterprises: the Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument, a Bureau of Indian Affairs-administered tourism site co-managed by the Pueblo, and the Cochiti Golf Club.

Revenue mechanics come from three streams: per-capita and programmatic federal funding routed through BIA and other federal agencies, tourism fees generated at Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks (which earned TIME's World's Greatest Places recognition in 2025), and operating revenue from the Cochiti Golf Club. The organization employs 11–50 staff across program and enterprise functions and is governed by tribal leadership under sovereign governmental authority.

The Pueblo also maintains regulatory authority over land use and natural resources on its reservation, recently implementing a Wildlife Conservation Code, and continues to engage in federal partnerships including the Los Alamos Pueblos Project with the U.S. Department of Energy for legacy contamination remediation. Cultural and language preservation (Cochiti Keres) and community events such as Feast Day represent ongoing programmatic activity alongside the commercial operations.
