Our Vision

The Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Relatives (MMIWR) Task Force Act establishes collaboration with tribal governments, tribal law enforcement, and the U.S. Department of Justice to determine the scope of the problem, identify barriers, and create partnerships to improve processes for reporting and investigating cases.

The Energy Transition Act (ETA) establishes New Mexico as a national leader in clean energy. The ETA transitions New Mexico away from coal and toward clean energy, ensuring greater renewable energy production and reducing costs for consumers.

The Indigenous Youth Council (IYC) was formed in February 2021 following two listening sessions that the New Mexico IAD held with Tribal youth from across the state. 

Through this competitive funding, all federally recognized tribes, nations and pueblos within New Mexico have an opportunity to submit a robust project proposal for their community.

Special project grant funding is not intended to be a permanent funding source for entities but rather a short-term allocation. Consequently, projects should demonstrate progress towards self-sustainability.
