New Mexico is home to 23 sovereign tribes, including 19 pueblos, three Apache tribes, and the Navajo Nation. Long before the United States or our state courts existed, Indigenous peoples established thriving governments, laws, communities, and cultures. Today and every day, we honor the resilience, sovereignty, and leadership of Indigenous peoples that continue to shape and strengthen our state and our judicial system. #IndigenousPeoplesDay2026 #NewMexico #TribalSovereignty #NMCourts
