Working in collaboration with the New Mexico Supreme Court, Young Lawyers Division and the Committee on Diversity in the Legal Profession, we were proud to create and launch the Judicial Clerkship Program. Congratulations to the rising 2L students who will participate in the program and receive a summer stipend. They will partner with a member of the YLD for mentorship, participate in a professional development boot camp, and work closely with a Supreme Court Justice and a judge from the Court of Appeals.
Amber was also recently elected the President of the Native American Law Students Association at the University of Arizona.

In adherence to the Governor's latest public health order, MoCNA will be closed November 16th through December 1st, 2020.
The IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Arts virtual museum can be enjoyed via Matterport. This VR experience is a replica of our physical museum located in downtown Santa Fe, New Mexico.
The virtual museum was co-created by our Senior Museum Education Manager, Winoka Yepa (Diné), and Photographer Lisa Hinson of 5D Media, who provided the high-resolution photographs used for this VR experience.

Making History: IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Arts
Available now at the MoCNA Store, Making History: IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Arts (2020), exposes the central role of the Institute of American Indian Arts as an epicenter of the dynamic and under-studied contemporary Native Arts movement (1962 to present). This unique resource not only guides educators and the public in how to interpret key interpretative American Indian art themes such as the body, dance, and visual icons using Indigenous methodologies, it also charts contemporary Native arts origins, drawing from the wisdom of our elders, artists, poets and educators.
Making History features poetry by Alex Jacobs (Mohawk) and Elizabeth Woody (Navajo/Warm Springs/Wasco/Yakama), and original essays by David Wade Chambers, Charles A. Dailey, Lara M. Evans (Cherokee), Stephen C. Fadden (Mohawk), Ryan S. Flahive, Suzanne Newman Fricke, Alex Jacobs (Mohawk), Tatiana Lomahaftewa-Singer (Hopi/Choctaw), Robert Martin (Cherokee), Nancy Marie Mithlo (Chiricahua Apache), Patsy Phillips (Cherokee), John Paul Rangel (Mestizo, Apache, Navajo, Spanish descent), Jessie Ryker-Crawford (White Earth Chippewa), and David Warren (Santa Clara Pueblo). This valuable resource contains two-hundred works of art, many that have never been photographed or circulated prior, and twenty-four archival photographs from IAIA’s nearly sixty-year history.
To purchase, please visit the MoCNA Store, Wednesday through Sunday, 11:00 AM - 4:00 PM, by phone at (505) 983-8900, or purchase online by clicking here.

Dear IAIA Community,
I recently received the sad news of the passing of Nathan Romero, Cochiti Pueblo, who attended IAIA from 2007 to 2011. I always enjoyed interacting with Nathan because he always was positive, upbeat and smiling, which never failed to brightened my day. Please keep Nathan, his family and friends in your prayers. We will send a memorial plant to his home.
My condolences to his family,
Dr. Martin
