Abstract:The New Mexico Tribal/State Transportation Summit held October 14-15, 1999, was a significant step towards improving the relationship between the State of New Mexico and the Indian pueblos and tribes. This event was the first of its kind in New Mexico, bringing together sovereign Native American nations with local, state and federal agencies to specifically discuss both their individual and mutual transportations concerns and needs with the intention of signing cooperative resolutions. The Summit was the pinnacle of months of collaboration between the Pueblos and Tribes of New Mexico and the New Mexico State Highway Transportation Department (NMSHTD) working to lay the foundation for government-to-government protocol for tribal and state transportation issues. The Summit?s immediate and continuing successes include the signing of one Memoranda of Agreement (MOA) presented at the Summit and creating an Action Committee who is setting up the initial stages for implementation of the aspired government-to-government protocols between tribal governments and state transportation agencies. The process for the formalized relationship between New Mexico and the tribes is expected to continue and build upon the accomplishments of the Summit and progress of the Action Committee.
