Welcome to.... Pueblo Nations - The 19 Pueblos

Turtle IslandWeb Project Management Website for Pueblo Nations.

 Take a look at What's New in our web.

Pueblo Nations Project Summary:

     Rachel Lopez, EDA Program Coordinator of All Indian Pueblo Council, requested a State-wide Community-based Tribal Technology Assessment.  The New Mexico Native American Business Development Center spearheaded the effort to have an Internet Technology Consultant, Evans Craig of Internet Technology Service, LLC to be interviewed to conduct the Statewide Technology Assessment.  The initial visit laid out the Technology Assessment process for the 19 Pueblo Tribes in three phases over twelve months:

Phase 1 Onsite Assessments (Week One - Fourteen) - A statewide 19 Pueblo on-site visits on April to August, 2001 will be used to assess the community resources available.

Phase 2 Technology Assessment Compilations (Week Four - Eighteen) - A system-wide technology assessment compilation on May to September, 2001 will be used to satisfy initial technology & educational grant opportunities to pool the resources of approximately 19 Pueblo Tribal Communities and the All Indian Pueblo Council in the State of New Mexico and plan a "Statewide Tribal Broadband network."

Phase 3 Collaborative Website (Week Four - Twenty) - A Collaborative Website on May to October, 2001 that connects 19 separate Pueblo websites utilizing a "Tribal Cooperative Store" model and an "Online Economic Development" model to create the community-based hubs for an "Online Pueblo e-Commerce" website.

       Identifying current wireless projects affecting Indian Country and utilizing the various approaches to create “Wireless/Satellite Internet Access Connection & Community Node Models.” Conduct Community Technologies Assessments with the Tribes that are/could be affected by the Wireless Access options and Wireless Community Nodes options, as a way to access broadband (high-speed) Internet access. The approaches will help identify various models, according to specific Tribally defined requirements. The nodes will be able to implement EOT programs, from both Alliance & NPACI, a way for the both groups to start collaborating and implementing EOT programs across the groups, and is a pathway for providing high speed Internet access to Tribal Communities.

1.       Identifying current wireless projects affecting Indian Country and utilizing the various approaches to create broadband (high-speed) Internet solutions.

2.       Conduct Community Technologies Assessments with the identified Tribes (19 Pueblo Nations in New Mexico and the 18 Bands of Mission Indians in Southern California) that are/could be affected by the Wireless Access options and Wireless Community Nodes options, as a way to access broadband (high-speed) Internet access.

3.       The resulting design & implementation of a broadband (high-speed) wireless network, consisting of a 100 Mbs duplex wireless backbone with 10 Mbs duplex throughput (two way) access points, will become the proof-of-concept to create “Wireless Grid Nodes” by utilizing a “Statewide Wireless Tribal Broadband Network.”

4.       The “Wireless Access Grid Nodes” (community nodes) will be able to implement Education Outreach & Training (EOT PACI) programs, from both Alliance & NPACI, on an enabled technology for the both groups to collaborate and implement EOT PACI programs across the groups.

Creating the Pathway to a Statewide Wireless Tribal Broadband* Network

The Albuquerque High Performance Computing Center of the University of New Mexico has been initiating work with the Pueblo Tribal Nations of New Mexico and the Bands of Mission Indians in California to be testbeds for a Statewide Wireless Tribal Broadband Network proof of concept. The AHPCC’s Education, Outreach & Training Department has been working with the Tribal Colleges over the last three years to get high-speed internet (Broadband*) technology to the 32 Tribal Colleges. (See the EOT poster - “Distributing Grid Technologies Across the Southwest” )

The identified methods will be a way to create models for a “Statewide Wireless Tribal Broadband Network” so that initial funding can be identified to create a pathway for providing high speed Internet access to Tribal Communities. The approaches will help identify various models, according to specific Tribally defined requirements.
