We are excited to announce that registration is open for the 7th Annual Institute of American Indian Education Summit. The summit, which is organized by the faculty and staff of the Institute for American Indian Education (IAIE) at the University of New Mexico, will take place on Wednesday, June 7th at the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center from9 A.M to 2 P.M.

As we approach the 5 year anniversary of the landmark Yazzie/Martinez v. State of New Mexico ruling, this year’s event will focus on changes that have occurred to provide a sufficient education to Native American students, socioeconomically disadvantaged students, English learners, and children with disabilities

Confirmed speakers include:

  • Wilhelmina Yazzie: Original Yazzie plaintiff in the lawsuit.
  • Melissa Candelaria, Alisa Diehl, and Preston Sanchez: Attorneys who represent the Yazzie plaintiffs in the case and continue to litigate today.
  • NM Representative Derrick Lente and Regis Pecos: Legislative leaders pushing for educational transformation through a variety of policy making processes and advocacy. 

Attendees will have the opportunity to provide input, discuss the future of Yazzie/Martinez, and collectively add to the growing body of discourse that guides the education of our students, which includes higher education, amongst an audience of tribal leaders, tribal education directors, higher education administrators, K-12 administrators and educators, students, parents, and other stakeholders.

Registration is free and required, please visit iaie.unm.edu or REGISTRATION CLOSED. Deadline to register for the summit is June 2, 2023. If you have any questions or need more information about the summit, please email us at iaie@unm.edu.
