100 Years of State & Federal Policy: Its Impact on Pueblo Nations, A Special Exhibition
On February 4th, 2012, the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center will open a special exhibition reflecting upon the last one-hundred years and present major events and milestones tied to federal and state policy and its lasting impacts upon Pueblo people. The exhibition will tell a modern story of resilience and celebrate how Pueblo Indian People responded to these imposed challenges upon our Core Values (Love, Respect, Compassion, Faith, Balance, Service) drawn from Gifts of the Creator (Land, Language, A Way of Life, Family, Community, Environment. Visitors will learn of the lasting human impacts of these policies and laws through the personal reflections and interviews captured. As we highlight the many contributions of Pueblo people who have risen to the challenges since time of emergence, we strive for our Pueblo youth to understand the importance of their own contributions to the next 100 years, and ask them "What will be your contribution?...to yourself, your family, your community, your Pueblo people, your state, your country, to the world.

Curriculum Development
The project also incorporates the creation of k-12 curriculum developed for and in support of this special exhibition. The k-12 base curriculum will be provided resources to teacher's seeking lesson plans created from a Pueblo perspective and tied to Pueblo core values and Pueblo cultural perspectives as its foundation.

NM State Centennial
The exhibition will also coincide with the celebration of the NM State Centennial (August 2011 thru 2012) and our exhibition is as an official event of the NM Centennial. This exhibition is only the beginning in a larger Indian Pueblo Cultural Center vision and all of the exhibition work developed will be used to help inform the planning and development of a new IPCC permanent exhibition called, The Pueblo Experience.

The special exhibition is supported by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and the New Mexico Humanities Council
