Issue Position: Respecting Our Cultures & Traditions
Issue Position
Issues: Indigenous Peoples
House District 46 includes four sovereign nations--the Pueblos of Tesuque, Pojoaque, Nambe and San Ildefonso--longstanding Hispanic communities, a vibrant Sikh community, immigrants, and many, many others others. As neighbors and as a state, we must deal respectfully and honestly with one another to improve relationships and create community-oriented solutions that benefit both Native and non-Native residents in our community. I commit to:
Convene dialogues regularly on issues facing all of us, starting with water, roads, and public safety
Develop an active dialogue with our communities to identify opportunities that can bring our communities together, such as sustainability, renewable energy, food production, and capital projects
