Initially conceived by Regis Pecos (Leadership Institute

Pueblo Cultural Center, IPCC) encourages a dialogue to
help guide the direction of the Pueblo Convocation in
November 2011. The exhibition is a smaller part of a
larger vision coinciding with the New Mexico State
Centennial (August 2011 thru 2012) and a permanent
future exhibition at IPCC called, “The Pueblo
Experience.” The exhibition focuses on the federal and
state policies of the Pueblo people, and audiences well
learn about the challenges, human impact and the Pueblo
community collective. Within this same dialogue SWAIA
Santa Fe Indian Market will celebrate the 90th year in
collaboration with NMHM, presenting archival photos from
the 1920s to present. These gorgeous photographs will
highlight the strong Pueblo influence that continues to
this day.
