Our Vision
is that tribal nations, tribal communities and Indigenous people are happy, healthy and prosperous and that traditional ways of life are honored, valued and respected.

How We Can Help
I'm Looking For...
Policy Initiatives

MMIW
The Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) 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.

ETA
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.

Census
Achieving a complete and accurate count of all New Mexicans, requires the participation and collaboration of all New Mexicans to count everyone once, only once, and in the right place.

Tribal Response Plan
The NM Indian Affairs Department developed a Tribal Response Plan as a way to provide support and guidance to our tribal governments when responding to COVID-19.
Programs & Funding

Tribal Infrastructure Fund
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.

Capital Outlay
Capital Outlay funds are used to build, improve or equip physical property that will be used by the public.

Special Projects
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.

Tobacco Cessation and Prevention Programs
These programs are focused on building tribal capacity to implement culturally appropriate tobacco cessation and prevention initiatives that recognize the unique ceremonial uses of tobacco while reducing the use of commercial tobacco use and its harmful effects.

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.
I welcome you to stop by and visit the Indian Affairs Department.
