Nations, Pueblos & Tribes
New Mexico has approximately 263,615 Native American citizens, which represent nearly 12.4% of the state’s entire population (Data based on 2020 census data). There are 23 tribes located in New Mexico – nineteen Pueblos, three Apache tribes and the Navajo Nation, and a considerable urban Indian population which is also served by the Indian Affairs Department.
Each Tribe is a sovereign nation with its own government, lifeways, traditions, and culture; and each tribe has a unique relationship with the federal and state governments.
The twenty-three tribes in New Mexico are actively engaged to preserving their indigenous languages, religion, culture, the environment and in promoting quality education and health care for all members, especially their youth and elders. Economic development as a means to achieve these goals is important to Tribal leadership as is homeland security and housing for their communities.
