Who We Are

The BPS Indian Education Department engages, supports, and advocates on behalf of the Native American students, families, communities of — the Pueblos and Tribes represented within — the District of Bernalillo Public Schools. We do so by providing robust educational experiences that acknowledge, connect with, honor and uplift: the diverse, unique values — community, cultural, linguistic — of Native American students.
