On May 1st, IAIA Students
Marissa Irizarry
(Assiniboine) and
LeOreal Effie Wall
(Ute Mountain Ute Tribe) attended the AICF Flame of Hope Gala in New York City. For the last 4 years the AICF Gala has hosted an IAIA student art show and sale, with all of the proceeds going to the students. It’s a great opportunity for students to show and sell their work in a city such as New York. The buyers come from all over and are very excited about the show and many are return customers. This show has been very successful financially for our students. Marissa and LeOreal both sold all of their jewelry at the show.

Update from
New Zealand by
Haliey Suina
|
Here's an update with pictures from my semester in New Zealand.
I know the semester at IAIA is over now—it’s strange because my semester here at AUT is still going; I haven’t reached finals just yet—but I thought now was a good time to send an update because of the exciting things that are coming up!
Education New Zealand
, the organization that provided the funding for my scholarship, reached out to invite me to attend the
Native American and Indigenous Studies Association (NAISA)
conference happening in Hamilton, New Zealand at the
University of Waikato
in June from the 26th-29th. This is the first time they’re having the conference overseas and in New Zealand. Education New Zealand covered my accommodation and flight changes in order for me to attend so that I can represent New Mexico and IAIA. I’ll be traveling and attending with two heads of Māori Strategy at Education New Zealand. If any faculty from the IAIA ILS Department is attending I might see them there!
I’ve attached some photos of my time here in New Zealand.
I look forward to returning to IAIA in the Fall—I missed the campus so much!
Thank you again for all the support that was given for me to experience this journey!
