The Tribal Government of Taos Pueblo, NM
Tribal Government - The Tribal Council is composed of over 30 former tribal leaders. The Council elects and appoints the Officials of the Governors Office and the War Chiefs Office. These Officials are appointed for every new calendar year. The Governor and his 9 officials are concerned with civil and business issues within the village and the relations with the non-Indian world. The War Chief and his 11 officials deal with the protection of the tribal land outside of the village walls as well as the protection of the wildlife. Conservation and preservation of the Sacred Village and the Blue Lake Wilderness Area are of primary concern to the Taos Pueblo. The Pueblo’s goal is to maintain the area of over 100,000 acres in its most natural state - protecting trees, water, fish, wildlife, soils, and land from damage. The Taos Pueblo Wilderness Act provided the tribe with exclusive use of the area for traditional purposes and is closed to the general public. (Taos Pueblo introductory brochure)
