Santa Clara Pueblo (Tewa: Khaʼpʼoe Ówîngeh, pronounced [xɑ̀ʔpʼòː ʔówîŋgè], lit. 'singing water village' or 'rose water village'), also known as the Village of Wild Roses, is a census-designated place (CDP) in Rio Arriba County, New Mexico, United States and a federally recognized tribe of Native American Pueblo people. As of the 2020 census, Santa Clara Pueblo had a population of 930.
The pueblo is a member of the Eight Northern Pueblos, and the people are from the Tewa ethnic group of Native Americans who speak the Rio Grande Tewa language.
