Rachel Lopez, EDA
Program
Coordinator of All Indian Pueblo Council, requested a New Mexico
statewide Tribal Community-based 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 New Mexico statewide Technology Assessment. The initial visit laid out the Tribal Technology
Assessment process for the 19 Pueblo Nations in three phases over twelve
months:
Phase 1 Onsite Assessments (Week One - Fourteen) - On-site visits
to the 19 New Mexico Pueblos on April to September, 2001 will be used to
identify the community resources available.
Phase 2 Technology Assessment Compilations (Week Four - Eighteen) - A system-wide technology assessment
compilation on May to October, 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 New Mexico of New Mexico and plan a "New
Mexico Statewide Tribal Broadband network."
Phase 3 Collaborative Website (Week
Four - Twenty) - A Collaborative Website on May to November, 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.

Access Connection & Community-wide Node Models - Creating the Pathway to a

Bernie Teba, Executive Director
of Eight Northern Indian Pueblo Council, approved a Community Wide Technology
Assessment. The All Indian Pueblo
Council spearheaded the effort to have an Internet Technology Consultant, Evans
Craig, conduct the New Mexico statewide Tribal Community Technology Assessment,
as well as 19 separate Tribal Community Technology Assessments. A regional on-site visit on August 29-30,
2001 was followed by a community-wide technology assessment that will be used
to satisfy initial Department of Commerce Grant opportunities to pool the
resources of approximately 19 Pueblo Nation
Tribal Communities and schools in the State of New Mexico, as well as
compliment the Nambe’s Pueblo’s Strategic Plan 2000. This assessment identifies the current resources available to
speed the implementation of having all Tribal members become technologically
literate, with reading, math, science, and other core academic skills that are
essential for success in the 21st century. It will also suggest options available to identify needed
resources to connect teachers and parents to work together, link students to
careers, colleges, and community resources and provide extended learning
opportunities after school and during the summer.
