From the Cabinet Secretary

Lynn A. Trujillo

I am very excited to work with the 23 sovereign Pueblos, Tribes and Nations and Indian people in New Mexico. Now, with Governor Lujan Grisham’s visionary leadership and commitment we have the opportunity to improve the wellbeing of Indian people in New Mexico and an opportunity and statutory responsibility to build a bold new vision for effective state-tribal relations. I am committed to working hard every day and I will strive to do my best.
