ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — New Mexico Gov. Lujan Grisham, state leaders and tribal leaders met for two days beginning June 1 for the 2022 State-Tribal Leaders Summit in New Mexico’s largest city.
It’s the first year the summit was held in-person since the previous two years have been held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Every year, the State-Tribal summit provides a necessary space for discussion and collaboration with New Mexico’s tribal leadership on policies and strategies to uplift Indigenous communities,” Lujan Grisham said. “This year, we kept up that momentum, meaningfully addressing issues ranging from Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Relatives to water issues to cultural education. This gathering laid the groundwork for continued progress on our shared goals.”
This year one of the main issues was the upcoming summer outlook for water, drought and wildfires.
