Native students drive conversation at Santa Ana Pueblo education summit

SANTA FE – Native American students and families shared feedback directly with state and tribal leaders Wednesday at the Government-to-Government Indian Education Summit at Santa Ana Pueblo.

“New Mexico has made historic investments in Native American education because honoring tribal sovereignty and supporting culturally relevant learning leads to stronger communities and better outcomes for students,” said Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham. “We are building an education system that reflects the strengths, languages and traditions of our Native students, and setting an example for the nation.”
