Pursuant to the State-Tribal Collaboration Act, the State Personnel Office also partners with the Indian Affairs Department to provide the training course that is mandatory for state managers and employees who have ongoing communication with Indian nations, tribes, or pueblos. In this course, titled Building Cultural Equity with Native Nations, participants will develop a better understanding of how to engage and collaborate with Native communities in New Mexico. Participants will learn the omitted history of Native Nations in this country and its impact, as well as best practices of New Mexico Tribes and Pueblos. Through the duration of the course, participants will engage in interactive exercises to grow their awareness and knowledge of what it means to work more collaboratively with Native Peoples.
