Government Resources
The venue for all things government is the capitol
building, commonly known as the Roundhouse for its
circular design. During a given session, lobbyists,
activists, school children and media from around the
state converge there.
The entire telephone directory for state agencies,
employees and officials is available at
www.phonebook.state.nm.us.
New Mexico is home to both Los Alamos and Sandia
national laboratories. For these, the state receives
federal funding. The state also is home to many acreages
of federal land. National debates over endangered
species and land policy usually hit home.
Tribal Government
New Mexico's many Native American pueblos and tribes
are sovereign entities. Over the past decade, many have
diversified their business interests with casinos,
resorts, golf courses, hotels and sports and
entertainment venues. Tesuque, Pojoaque, Namb? San
Ildefonso, Jemez, Santa Clara, San Juan, Picuris and
Taos pueblos are all north of Santa Fe. A short drive
south on I-25 will take you to Cochiti, Santo Domingo
and San Felipe pueblos. Tours of the pueblos and
ceremonial dances sometimes are open to the public, but
photography, when allowed, often requires a small fee
and/or a permit. The northern Indian tribes are united
under the Eight Northern Indian Pueblos Council, a
coalition based at San Juan Pueblo new Espanola.
