repstansbury.bsky.social Rep. Melanie Stansbury (NM-01) @repstansbury.bsky.social · Mar 5
I am SO PROUD to introduce the Albuquerque Indian School Act, which will transfer almost 10 acres of federal land to the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center and NM’s 19 Pueblos.

This will support the IPCC’s work supporting indigenous communities and celebrate Pueblo culture, sovereignty, and resilience!
Rep. Stansbury: I am proud to introduce the Albuquerque Indian School Act!
