Albuquerque Indian School Act of 2025

Key Points

• This bill, introduced by Stansbury, would transfer nearly 10 acres of federal land in Albuquerque to the 19 Pueblos of New Mexico. This land was originally part of the Albuquerque Indian School and is currently managed by the federal government.
• Once the land is transferred, the 19 Pueblos can use it for many different purposes. This includes building schools, health clinics, cultural centers, or starting businesses to help their local economies and community development.
• The transfer must happen within 90 days after the current federal workers move out of the buildings on the property. The government will keep a temporary right-of-way to move its equipment and property to new locations.
• The bill includes a strict rule that no gambling or casinos can be built on this specific piece of land. It must remain focused on education, health, and community growth for the 19 Pueblos.
