Issues: Indigenous Peoples Federal, State and Local Relations

Over a year ago, before Michelle publicly announced her campaign, she went before the All Pueblo Council of Governors to share her intention to run for Governor of New Mexico.

She's since earned the endorsement of five New Mexico pueblos. It's time that our governor respects the leaders of our state's tribes and pueblos. New Mexico's 22 sovereign nations are an integral part of our culture; our state's success goes hand in hand with theirs. Michelle has partnered with our tribes and pueblos for decades, and as governor, she will include sovereign nations in New Mexico economic development efforts, support capital investment and improvements, and prioritize serving American Indian students in our education system.
