Today, on Indigenous Peoples' Day, the Village of Jemez Springs honors the rich cultures, traditions, histories, and enduring contributions of Indigenous peoples.
We are especially grateful for our neighbors at Jemez Pueblo (Walatowa) and for the Pueblo communities throughout New Mexico whose stewardship of these lands, waters, and natural resources stretches back countless generations. Their traditions, language, values, and connection to place continue to enrich and strengthen our region today.
As we celebrate Indigenous Peoples' Day, we recognize that honoring Indigenous peoples means more than remembering history. It means fostering understanding, building respectful partnerships, preserving cultural heritage, and supporting the communities that continue to shape the character and future of our state.
We are proud to live alongside and learn from our Pueblo neighbors and extend our deepest respect and appreciation for their resilience, wisdom, and enduring presence.
Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day.
