DEMOCRACY is INDIGENOUS - Native Media Network

Vote for Values NOT Politics - The Original Instructions are encoded in the Original Instructions as the human DNA.

Dear Friends:
By now election 2026 is baked, No one has yet, opened the Oven door to look at the cake.

This election is pivotal to sustaining the power of the PEOPLES, not to let the false narratives of white supremacy, economic doom and gloom, conspiracy theories and religious fervor influence the future of the next generations.

The “VOTE” IS FOR THE WISDOM OF THE ELDERS – IT HAS SURVIVED A MILLENNIUM OF POLITICIANS PROMISING THIS AND THAT.

World leaders are isolating the erratic behavior of Trump, The Judicial is identifying violations of the Constitution and the delay tactics of the Executive Branch, People protesting, Congress about to lose the Republican majority, Impeachment articles drawn,
HAVE COURAGE – AWAKEN THE WARRIOR SPIRIT WITHIN YOU:

Please do not Despair, get Angry, or Depressed - RESIST.

Celebrate the progress and unity already made in Indigenous communities around the world.

Take precautions not to engage in any of the negativity that is poisoning our thoughts, environment and society.

The Elders had the wisdom to smudge themselves and purify their environment especially in times of hardship.
HAVE PATIENCE,

The Elders tell us that it takes longer for us to heal today, because the old trails our ancestors used, have been weakened by colonialism, assimilation, manifest destiny, ethnic cleansing, and control of the media and internet.

The time has come to heal and re-connect with our ancestors. They paid a tremendous price for us to be able to speak out against injustices; we do not have the right to remain quiet.

INDIAN VILLAGE – NEW MEXICO STATE FAIR - EXPONM 2026
The Indian Village at the New Mexico State Fair Founded in 1881 holds a historic distinction as the first state fair exhibition space in the United States solely devoted to Native American culture. Operating out of its dedicated plaza at Expo New Mexico in Albuquerque, the village serves as a vibrant, living hub for traditional Pueblo dances, Music, Indigenous performances, Pow Wow Exhibition, Arts & Crafts vendors and authentic award-winning Food Vendors .
Arena Director – Charles Montoya
MC: James Edwards

Early Origins: The World's Fairs and Territorial Fairs
The concept of the Indian Village traces its roots to nineteenth-century exhibition trends. Historically, world's fairs frequently featured "Indian villages" where Indigenous peoples demonstrated traditional crafts and performed dances. However, these early iterations reflected colonial attitudes; non-Native organizers designed them to portray Native Americans as a disappearing past while celebrating white industrial progress.

Albuquerque hosted its first Territorial Fair in 1881. Promoting a temporary Indian village near what is now Old Town, organizing races and dances meant to showcase New Mexico's Indian Pueblo Culture and influence.

The 1960 Shift: Reclaiming the Narrative
The modern Indian Village at the state fairgrounds took shape thanks to a major shift toward self-determination. Following World War II, a growing population of urban Native Americans in Albuquerque began taking on civic leadership roles.

In 1960, these leaders founded the New Mexico Council of American Indians, a pan-Indigenous organization. One of their primary initiatives was to create an Indian Village at the newly relocated fairgrounds—but with a crucial difference: Native people would build, manage, and operate it themselves. The council proposed using the money raised from the village's food and craft vendors to fund higher education scholarships for Native students.
While state fair officials provided the physical space, they did not offer financial support, prompting the Council to successfully build and manage the venue entirely on their own.

The Indian Village Today
Today, the Indian Village (145 years since its first exposition at Albuquerque’s Old Town)remains one of the most popular and enduring highlights of the 11-day state fair. It operates as an authentic space of cultural preservation, pride, and community celebration. Families from various Pueblos and Southwestern Native communities gather in the plaza to honor performing relatives, share traditional meals, and host major public events like the annual State Fair POW WOW.

Indian Village at the New Mexico State fair (ExpoNM) is a living monument of the endurance and cultural heritage of the Pueblo people, showcasing the strength of the generational heritage of pueblo life.

“Yes, it is a beautiful morning in Indian Country every day.
All is Beautiful, All is Beautiful, All is Beautiful Indeed.
