Join us for a Curriculum Fair hosted by the Indigenous Wisdom Curriculum (IWC) and the Institute for American Indian Education (IAIE) on Saturday, November 8th, 2025 from 8AM to 4PM at the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center in Albuquerque, NM. We are inviting K-12 educators, pre-service students, school administrators, and parents to learn about what is available for you and your students in New Mexico.
This event will feature engaging sessions throughout the day on the Indigenous Wisdom Curriculum, opportunities to connect with community organizations focused on education, and valuable resources for educators to integrate into their classrooms. This is a great opportunity to learn, share, and explore innovative ways to enrich education through Indigenous perspectives. If you have any questions and/or need more information, please reach out to Brianna Fragua at BFragua@indianpueblo.org or Gina Tafoya at GTafoya3@unm.edu.
