Governor’s Report
Maguwam, Hello everyone, I hope this
newsletter finds everyone doing well. First
of all, I want to thank our creator for the
wonderful rain which we have received. It’s
good to see the land turn green and colorful.
The COVID Mitigation Team is working
hard to keep our community safe. We all
understand that the State of New Mexico and
other states have opened fully; however, we
have not opened as the state has done. We
still have our Public Health Order to follow
and comply with. Please review our updated
Public Heath Order (see attachment).
The Delta Variant is very contagious and is
a concern within our community. The Delta
Variant is impacting our surrounding state
which has fully opened up. If you travel, please
follow and adhere to the current Public Health
Order. I encourage everyone from ages 12
and up to get vaccinated. The vaccination will
reduce the spread, contraction, hospitalization
and death from COVID to our community
members. We have all been doing a good job
at keeping our masks on and utilizing hand
sanitizers to keep ourselves safe. I encourage
anyone who has symptoms of COVID to be
tested and isolate to prevent the spread.
People have been asking about feasts that we
are all so used to having around this time.
Unfortunately, we will not be celebrating the
Feast of St. Augustine on August 28, 2021 or
the Feast of St. Augustinito on September
4, 2021. There will be feast masses held on
August 27, 2021 for vespers and on August 28,
2021 for St. Augustine with a procession in
the plaza area. We pray that we will be able
to continue our feast days as we remembered
them.
Last month, 2nd Lt. Gov. Sanchez and
along with Derek Jarner, Water Resources
Manager, visited the Bureau of Reclamation,
Technical Service Center in Denver, CO, to
view the physical model of the Isleta Diversion
Dam (IDD) in operation. The physical model
is being used to determine modifications
to Diversion Dam and sluiceway to reduce
the amount of sediment outfall on the Big
and Little Chical and the Cacique irrigation
canals. The physical model is scale rendition
of the diversion structure (see picture and
diagram overlay). An alternate option has
been selected and the combined dam and
sluiceway structure modifications and gate
operations are being tested to refine the final
design.

As part of the IDD project a separate project
involving the construction of a fish passage
for the Rio Grande Silvery Minnow is being
designed. The fish passage will allow the
Minnow to move through the IDD and be
utilized in the recovery of the endangered
species. The placement of the fish passage
will be near the middle of the IDD and either
upstream or downstream depending on a
final design and cost determination. These
are two conceptual renditions looking east
and west.
Isleta Pueblo News
Another related project is the Peralta
Main modification. The plan is to widen
the Peralta and install Langemann gates
approximately 1000 feet downstream of the
Big Chical outlet to check water. This will
allow water to be diverted back upstream
through the new Big Chical extension
that will also feed the Little Chical. The
Langemann gate installation will divert
water to the Cacique at a different location
also. The modification of the Peralta Main
is designed to further reduce sediment
outfall to the three irrigation canals.
August 2021
We continue to stay ahead of needing Prior
and Paramount (P&P) water supply for
our irrigation needs. As of this writing,
MRGCD demand is 500 cfs and P&P
supply is still greater than P&P demand.
In addition, the District has not released
any San Juan Chama water to meet their
500 cfs demand. The recent rains have
helped tremendously.
It is being predicted that over the next
50 years modeling shows New Mexico
temperatures statewide could rise 5 -7
degrees. This gives continued importance
of the need to development and implement
plans to manage and protect our land,
water, wildlife, and related resources. We
must be pro-active and not reactive. Isleta
leadership and the community must come
together to effect the needed changes and
decisions to ensure our shared resources
will be here for our children’s children and
beyond.
Please drive careful out there and if you
see anybody driving dangerously, report
to our Police Department. Recently, we
had a community member hit from behind
while driving a bale wagon. Remember,
we are a community and we must share in
protecting each other out there and within
our home base.
Let us continue to pray for rain, to keep us
safe from the virus, and may our creator
keep our community safe and bless every
one of us with a good life.
Haw-wuh.

Optometry
Digital Eye Strain
Dr. Mitchel Anderson,
OD, Optometrist
Phone: 505-869-4080
We are using screens now more than ever before.
Many of us use our computer screens at work and
spend much of our spare time on our TVs, phones
or tablets. This can be a wonderful thing, but there
are also potential side effects. One of the effects of
increased screen time is that it can bother our eyes,
a recent term has been coined for this: “Digital Eye
Strain”. Our eyes feel strained due to the background
light from the devices, and due to small muscles inside
our eyes that are working hard to keep us focused on
the devices in front of us.
The Optometry Times and many eye-care professionals
have recently created a simple rule to help combat
this Digital Eye Strain. They call it the 20-20-20 Rule;
this means that for every 20 minutes you spend on a
digital screen, you should take a 20-second break to
look at something at least 20 feet away. Oftentimes,
our eyes feel most relaxed when we let them rest for
a moment and just look into the distance. If you can
actively remember to take short breaks from staring at
screens throughout your day, your eyes will thank you.
Especially if you are feeling eyestrain or fatigue at the
end of the day, this is something you should implement
into your daily routine. Vision is such an important part
of our lives, let’s remember to take care of our eyes so
they can take care of us for many more years to come.

may be dropped off at the Library or emailed to Nathaniel.
Lujan@isletapueblo.com. Should you email your article,
expect a confirmation email. If you do not receive a
confirmation email, odds are it never made it to me and
then it’s time to panic, so call Nate at 505.869.9808.
People who wish to submit an article or flyer are responsible
for generating their own article or flyer. Should you need
help, please call the Library at 505.869.9808 and set up a
date and time to sit down with a Library staff member who
will help you throughout the process. The Library will NOT
accept notes dropped off at the Library or information over
the phone to generate your article.
PROBATES need to be published in the Newsletter for
two consecutive months. Probates are considered court
documents, therefore, all submitters must provide: 1)
Name of Deceased, 2) Date of Deceased 3) Court Case #
and 4) Date of Court Date. A Probate form can be found on
the Newsletter Archive page at http://www.isletapueblo.
com/newsletters.html .
CLASSIFIED ADS: The new administration has requested
that the Newsletter start a Classified Ad section for Tribal
members selling land, houses, mobile homes, vehicles, and

As a reminder, Tribal business owners may submit a small

are responsible for generating their own flyers as this is a

Classified ads and business flyers will be posted no

DEPARTMENT OF CULTURAL AND
HISTORIC PRESERVATION
Ma ku wum from the Department of Cultural and Historic
Preservation! We are very happy to share the news that we
have two wonderful interns working with us this summer:
Felicia Bartley and Alexis Scalese. Felicia will begin her
second year in the Public Humanities & Cultural Heritage
Graduate Program at Brown University in the fall and
is writing her thesis on the history of the Indian Pueblo
Cultural Center. Alexis will begin her senior year at in
the American Studies Program at Amherst College in
the fall and would like to pursue a career as an archivist.
Please drop by the Yonan An Cultural Center to say hello!
History of the Yonan An Cultural Center Building: This
August marks one year since DCHP staff moved our offices
into the Yonan An Cultural Center. Located in the newly
renovated tribal day school building, the 13,926 squarefoot cultural center houses DCHP offices, an exhibition
space, lecture hall, classrooms, and 1,207 square feet of
climate-controlled storage and work space for the tribal
archive. Funded by the Public Works Administration and
built by Isleta tribal members who worked with the Civilian
Conservation Corps—Indian Division in the late 1930s,
the school opened in 1940 and remained in use through
2009. Constructed of adobe in the Pueblo Revival Style,
the school building reflected the regional architecture
design ideals of the period and featured state-of-the-art
facilities and modern classrooms. During the building’s
history as a school for Isleta students, two additions were
made to the original design: a small vestibule on the
west end and a larger addition with locker rooms at the
southeast corner. Additionally, the courtyard garden was
converted to a gym. For a short period of time after the
opening of Isleta’s new elementary school, the Cultural
Committee conducted meetings in the Pueblo Revival Style
building. In 2013, a historic preservation plan was drawn
up for the preservation and renovation of the building, in
accordance with the National Historic Preservation Act,
the National Environmental Policy Act, and the Secretary
of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic
Properties. In 2020, renovation and construction of the
building were completed, providing a beautiful site for the
Pueblo of Isleta Yonan An Cultural Center.
Community members whose friends or family members
were a part of the CCC crew who originally built the
building in the 1930s are encouraged to contact POI
Tribal Archivist at (505) 869-5376. Additionally, tribal
members with class photos, school memorabilia, and
other memories of their time as students at the school are
encouraged to consider sharing those with the POI Tribal
Archive as well. Ms. Smith is interested in housing and
exhibiting some of the tribal history associated with the
school in a special Isleta Day School Archival Collection.
Isleta Heritage Garden Planning: If you are a community
member with farming experience, gardening knowledge,
or are interested in learning more about Isleta’s
agricultural practices and putting that knowledge to
use, consider being a part of the up-and-coming Isleta
Heritage Garden! Planning is now underway for clearing
some land and identifying the types of desired plants. If
you are interested in contributing, we are making a call
for seed donations, Tiwa plant knowledge, and equipment
to help clear a plot of land. The next meeting for planning
the garden will be August 3rd at 1:00 PM in the lecture
hall at the Yonan An Cultural Center (the former Isleta
Elementary School).
For more information, visit the “Heritage Garden
Project” tab on the Pueblo of Isleta website: https://
www.isletapueblo.com/tribal-programs/dept-of-culturalhistoric-preservation/dchp-projects/heritage-gardenproject/
Thank Yous: Lastly, DCHP staff would like to extend
our heartfelt thanks to the following individuals for
their gifts and long-term loans to the Yonan An Cultural
Center: Frances Abeita, Ramona Abeita, Loraine Padilla,
Stephanie Padilla, Margarite Analla, Frank Jiron, and
Miriam and Mike Lucero.
Kheurkim! We look forward to hearing from you soon!

Joe Robledo III, Principal
TRUANCY
Greetings from the Truancy Department,
Hope you and your families had a fun and safe summer.
With all the changes and decisions that have been made within
the school districts, and all the schools that serve our students, we
encourage our students to remember to continue wearing face masks,
using hand sanitizer and to practice social distancing.
Remember that all schools will be going to in person learning when
school starts in early August.
When back-to-school shopping, consider having your children pick
out a new mask that they’ll be excited to wear to school. And make a
habit to pack their school essentials the night before.
School books/materials
Face mask
Hand sanitizer
Water bottle
This will help to make the early morning transition from home to school
a happy one.
Be patient with your children, as this will be a major change in their
lives; try to understand their behavioral and emotional needs as well
as recognizing signs of anxiety. There are many programs within the
Pueblo of Isleta to support your children and your families.
Make sure your children are up to date on their immunizations,
including the flu shot. If your children are age eligible, the Covid-19
vaccine, is an option. The benefits of receiving the vaccine are:
It reduces the risk of contracting the virus
It protects against severe illness
Will allow for more social interactions
The Truancy Department will continue working in partnership with
Isleta Elementary School as well as all Albuquerque Public Schools,
Los Lunas Public Schools, the Native American Community Academy,
School of Dreams Academy, and any charter schools our Isleta
students attend. Our goal this year is to see our students continue
attending school daily and when absent, attend virtual classes, which
some schools will still offer.
As the school year kicks off, remember to follow all rules and policies
set by the school districts and contact us if you have any questions.
We wish you the best during this 1st semester of school!

Programs keep families in homes, students in school
PED urges NM families to apply for mortgage, rent, utility help
SANTA FE - The Public Education
Department is urging eligible New Mexico
families to apply for two programs to help
pay the mortgage or rent and keep the
lights on so children will not be uprooted
from their local schools:
•
The federal Emergency Rental
Assistance program was created to
reduce evictions or utility service cut-offs
due to financial challenges related to the
COVID-19 pandemic.
•
The New Mexico Homeowner
Assistance Fund offers grants of up to
$10,000 to maintain housing and reduce
housing cost delinquency related to the
pandemic.
"This has been an incredibly difficult year
for so many New Mexico families that lost
jobs or income due in one way or another to
the pandemic," Public Education Secretary
Ryan Stewart said. "We owe it to our
children to keep their families intact and
in their homes so they can focus, as they
should, on their education without fear of
being suddenly uprooted."
Under the Emergency Rental Assistance
program, the state of New Mexico is
distributing nearly $170 million to pay
back, current or future rent and utility bills
for eligible families.
Eligible households may receive up to 15
months of assistance plus three additional
months -- if funding is available -- to ensure
housing stability. Assistance awards can be
used for unpaid, current and future rent and
utilities, although priority will be placed on
paying past-due rent and utilities.
The Emergency Rental Assistance Program
was established by the Consolidated
Appropriations Act of 2021. In New
Mexico, the Department of Finance and
Administration has been administering the
program since April 5 in partnership with
the City of Albuquerque.
Renters across the state are eligible for the
program -- except for residents of Bernalillo
and Dona Ana counties and those who
live in a pueblo or tribal area. Those two
counties, as well as tribal governments, will
administer their own Rental Assistance
Programs, which can be accessed through
links at RentHelpNM.org.
An application for rental assistance may be
submitted by either an eligible household
or by a landlord on behalf of that eligible
household. In general, funds will be paid
directly to landlords and utility service
providers. If a landlord does not wish to
participate, funds may be paid directly to
the eligible household.
Landlords and utility providers are
encouraged to download a W9 and submit
it to the Department of Finance and
Administration via ERAVendor.Relations@
state.nm.us as soon as possible to ensure a
streamlined process for receiving payment.
In addition, the New Mexico Homeowner
Assistance Fund -- a $1 million, six-month
pilot program co-sponsored by the state
and the New Mexico Mortgage Finance
Authority-- was announced this week and
is the first state program specifically for
homeowners.
The assistance covers past-due and current
mortgage payments for income-eligible New
Mexicans who have experienced a financial
hardship associated with the COVID-19
health crisis.
The New Mexico Homeowner Assistance
Fund replaces the COVID-19 Homeowner
Assistance Program, which also served
homeowners with housing cost assistance
payments. The Mortgage Finance Authority
will make payments directly to mortgage or
loan servicers, escrow companies, or other
housing providers. To be eligible for the
program, household income must not exceed
100 percent of the area median income.
Applications can be made online at
housingnm.org or by calling 505.308.4206
or toll-free 866.488.0498 to request a paper
application.
More information about both programs,
including income eligibility and frequently
asked questions, are available on the
Department of Finance and Administration
website.
Other assistance programs available right
now to eligible New Mexicans include:
•
Connectivity: The Emergency
Broadband Benefit program provides a
$50 monthly credit on the cost of highspeed internet ($75 for households on
tribal land) and a one-time credit of

The Quest for the Crest:
The Patenting and Use of the
Mountain Up to Eagle Feather Peak Part 2
A Comparison of Sandia’s and Isleta’s
Battle for the Crest
The eastern boundary call of both the Sandia
and Isleta grants was the sierra (mountain)
with Isleta’s more specific language, “the
espinaza (spine) of the sierra.” The Court
of Private Land Claims had decided in
the Elena Gallegos grant case that the
word sierra alone implied the crest of the
mountain because sierra is sometimes
translated as “saw,” referring to the
jagged peaks at the crest of the mountain.
Nevertheless, as discussed in last month’s
article, US surveyors located Sandia’s (as
well as Isleta’s) eastern boundary at the
foothills. The Forest Service administered
the rest of the mountain, which began, in
the 1970s, to impede Sandia’s use of Sandia
Mountain; most importantly, the Forest
Service failed to protect the pueblo’s use of
its sacred shrines and sites. Sandia entered
into negotiations with the government to
regain their use rights, but when these
failed after 1983, Sandia finally sued in
1993 to correct their survey. Judge Harold
Greene made two rulings, both in favor
of Sandia. In the second opinion, Judge
Greene ruled that any ambiguities (such as
where to locate Sandia’s eastern boundary)
should be resolved in favor of the pueblo.
Sandia had won, but the government
appealed on behalf of the Forest Service. It
appears that the Forest Service’s response
was a result of the pressure from the
powerful owners of 600 acres of inholdings.
This ensued in spite of Sandia’s disclaimer
of any interest in those inholdings and
its willingness to issue deeds to those
landowners. Sandia announced that it was
seeking title to the 8,800 acres of National
Forest and Wilderness within the claim, but
asked the federal government to continue
managing the land as Wilderness and
National Forest, with the understanding
that ultimate title rested with the pueblo.
In the end, the case was settled with
Sandia making the hard choice of giving
up its claim of title in return for “free
and unrestricted access to the [mountain]
for traditional and cultural uses.” This
was what was most important to Sandia
Pueblo as Governor Stewart Paisano
noted eloquently, “the mountain is central
to our beliefs, practices, and prayers. It
is the only source of resources needed for
religious ceremonies. Our spiritual leaders
routinely make pilgrimages to the shrines
on the mountain and leave offerings.” But
by giving up its legitimate claim of title,
Sandia lost the right to regulate hunting,
which, despite its protests, the settlement
did not consider it a traditional or cultural
use. If the Sandias had objected to their
erroneous survey sooner than 1983, as did
Isleta, before so many non-Indian claimants
had staked their claim to the mountain, the
result might have been different.
Isleta Pueblo and Its Land Purchases
Isleta Pueblo’s Quest for the Crest
Isleta had a stronger case than did Sandia
with its unambiguous boundary call: the
espinaza (spine) of the sierra. But it still
took over two decades of letter-writing,
meetings with lawyers, and negotiations
with the Indian Service to get the eastern
boundary surveyed and a patent for the
additional 21,000 acres issued. Bautista
Zuni worked hard to keep the pressure on
the government, but it was Pablo Abeita
who did the most to regain the mountain for
Isleta. Pablo’s quest began in 1899, when
as secretary of the Isleta Pueblo council,
he wrote to the newly-appointed Special
Attorney for the Pueblo Indians, George
Hill Howard on behalf of Isleta Governor
Antonio Jojola. Abeita told Howard that
Isleta’s most important land-related
challenge was the resurvey and patenting
of the Isleta mountain tract. Although
Pablo clearly laid out the reasons for his
resurvey request, Howard ignored it.
Nevertheless, Howard petitioned the
Court of Private Land Claims to resurvey
the eastern boundary of the Lo de Padilla
grant, bordering Isleta to the south,
which had a similar eastern boundary
call: the Manzano Mountains. Isleta had
purchased the grant in the late eighteenth
century and was now asserting its claim of
ownership. Acting on Howard’s request, the
land claims court ordered the Lo de Padilla
grant to be surveyed to the crest. This
resulted in the anomaly of two adjacent
grants that Isleta owned, each with similar
boundary calls, being surveyed differently:
the Lo de Padilla grant was surveyed to
the crest, while the Isleta mountain tract
went to the foothills. Howard asked the
land claims court to provide a uniform rule
for locating boundaries when a mountain
was designated as a landmark, but the
court refused, leaving the issue completely
confused.
Frustrated by the absurdity and injustice
of the situation, Pablo Abeita continued
his quest, along with a few others, to
have the peak of the Manzano Mountains
designated as the eastern boundary of the
Map by Molly O’Halloran
Isleta land grant. He realized that until
he obtained that goal, the mountainside
would be considered public domain of the
US, available to non-Indians who wished to
claim part of it as small-holding claims, just
as they did on the Sandia grant.
It is unclear why government surveyors
gave preference to Hispano land grants
over Pueblo grants when surveying similar
boundary calls, but in Isleta’s case, their
purchase of the Hispano Lo de Padilla grant
worked in their favor. When the Court of
Private Land Claims agreed that the peak
or crest of the mountain was the boundary
of that grant, at least Isleta owned half of
the mountain, the half containing the most
occupants as well as Eagle Feather Peak.
Pablo Abeita began by consulting everyone
he thought could help — lawyers, Indian
agents, and Father Ketcham, among others.
When Pablo contacted Francis Wilson,
Special Attorney for the Pueblo Indians in
1910, the attorney told Pablo that in regard
to Isleta’s eastern boundary, “it will be
pushed: in the Office of the Commissioner
of Indian Affairs.” Never in the entire
process did the Indian Office or the General
Land Office (GLO) deny that the eastern
boundary should be surveyed to the peak;
they just didn’t do it. When Abeita consulted
Indian Agent Phillip T. Lonergan in 1914,
the agent expressed frustration with the
factionalism at the pueblo, asking Pablo to
help him “in getting elected a man who will
work with me in harmony … on issues like
the survey of the eastern boundary.”
In 1918, Bautista Zuni, a progressive, was
elected governor, with Pablo Abeita’s brother
Marcelino as lieutenant governor. Getting
the patent for the Isleta mountain tract was
one of the chief goals of this administration.
Working with Indian Agent Lonergan,
Zuni arranged a delegation to Washington,
DC with the specific purpose of securing
the patent. Made up of Pablo Abeita, his
brother Marcelino, and Bautista Zuni, the
delegation received a rousing send-off from
their fellow Isletans at the Isleta station.
When they arrived in Washington, the

the mohair from the goats. Domingo then
hauled the wool and mohair to the Cox
Warehouse. Domingo allowed Ray to collect
the scraps of less desirable goat and sheep
hair and sell them at the warehouse. With
the money he made, Ray bought whatever
he wanted. All in all, Ray Jojola remembers
his grandparents’ ranch as a little paradise
on the mountain.

delegation vowed not to leave without
the patent, no matter how long it took.
However, they had to accept a promise
that the patent would be sent, rather than
receiving the patent itself. It seems that a
new survey was required. That survey was
completed in 1919; it showed that there
were 324 acres of inholdings from small
holding claims that had to be deducted
from the patented acreage, far fewer than
was the case at Sandia.
Finally, in 1928 the Pueblo Lands Board
decided that the mountain tract was
omitted by mistake from the original
survey and should be patented to Isleta.
Yet it took five more years for the pueblo
to actually receive the patent to the 21,090acre Isleta mountain tract. Now the pueblo
could celebrate, and it did.
Use of the Mountain Tract
We know that Isletans have used the
mountain tract since time immemorial
for gathering resources and for spiritual
purposes, but it does not seem that Isletans
lived on the mountain. The first documented
permanent structure was a cabin built a
little south of the Isleta boundary, near the
9,600-foot summit of Bosque Peak in the
early 1890s by the Isleta merchant Archibald
Rea. The photographer and writer Charles
Lummis, who lived at Isleta for four years,
spent several weeks in June 1890 helping
Rea build the cabin, motivated largely by
his attraction to Rea’s sister-in-law, Eve
Douglas, Lummis’s future wife. The house
sat in a clearing, once an old sheep camp,
thirteen miles by horseback from the Isleta
plaza. Lummis helped by “chopping down
trees, hewing the trunks into logs, building
the walls and roof, and chinking the spaces
between the logs with mud.”
Domingo Jojola, who had played on Pablo
Abeita’s baseball team as an eighteenyear-old, built a ranch on the mountain
in the 1930s and 1940s. Mingo, as he was
known, used a spring about one-eighth of
a mile to the north, to pipe water to the
site, both for irrigation and for domestic
use inside the house. He planted fruit trees
and built a terraced garden where he grew
squash, greens, and other vegetables. The
garden was fenced, for Jojola also raised
a large flock of sheep and goats with the
help of a Navajo sheepherder and, later, a
sheepherder from Mexico.
Domingo Jojola was also a leader in the
pueblo, serving as lieutenant governor in
1940. He maintained a large two-storey
house on the southeast corner of the plaza
where he moved after the death of his wife
in 1964.
Others built houses on the mountain at
Hell’s Canyon, as shown in this photograph.

We are grateful to Ray Jojola for his
contribution to this article.
Raymond and Domingo Jojola
Ray Jojola, Domingo’s grandson, has fond
memories of his summers living with his
grandparents on the ranch. According
to Ray, Domingo had around 50 head of
cattle, 300 sheep, 200 goats, 5 horses, and
3 mules. He constructed a system of sturdy
wooden corrals with the horses having
their own corral and the sheep and goats
another. Mingo was also an accomplished
blacksmith. He shod his own horses,
repaired broken tools, and built needed
outbuildings on the ranch. Jojola’s house,
built of stone and adobe, contained two
rooms. Domingo built a hunting shack
about six miles above the ranch where he
camped out during the hunting season.
He was also a successful trapper, bringing
the tanned hides of coyotes and mountain
lions to Albuquerque to sell. Ray Jojola
remembers that Mingo made his money

Our 2021 Summer Reading Program has
come to an end. We had an exciting summer
full of activities. Our Junior program had a
Water day and a field trip this summer to
Urban Air and Dion’s Pizza. Throughout the
summer they took a Road Trip around the
U.S.A and learned about the states. They
made a Hot Air Balloon, a light up Tropical
Reef, Cowboy Hat Cake Pops, Alligator
Eggs and so much more. They enjoyed story
time each day and a variety of crafts and
activities throughout the day.
Our Youth program stayed busy creating
different projects and doing different
activities throughout summer. For their
final field trip they went to Top Golf and
enjoyed a meal while they played. Below is
a short recap on what each group did this
summer.
Building & Creating:
Since our update in June, our building
and creating group were busy making a
DIY Basketball game out of card board, a
Marshmallow Catapult, a Phone Amplifier
& Phone Stand and a Mechanical Claw. We
hope they can carry what they learned and
build or create something of their own one
day. Thank you to Library staff member
Ashley for putting this curriculum together
for the students.
Monster Movie Makeup:
It was a busy July for the Monster Movie
Makeup group. They did an intro to scar
wax, bruises & fake blood and used what
they learned to make scar wax and fake
blood. They also learned to apply prosthetic
to create their own character. Thank you to
Library staff member Cheyenne for putting
this curriculum together for the students.
Science:
What a month the Science group had
starting off with casting footprints followed
with latent fingerprints where they dusted
for fingerprints and match prints. For their
finale week they made Lantern Planets and
enjoyed some Astronaut Food. Thank you to
Library staff members Shaypof and Isaac
for putting this curriculum together for the
students.
August 2021
Mythology & Astrology: For the month
of July students learned about the Egyptian
gods, Mummies & Pyramids, Planets,
Constellations, Rockets, and Solar System.
Thank you to Library staff member Kyle
for putting this curriculum together for the
students.
For our final farewell for the summer, library
staff hosted a Summer Reading Program
Grand Finale Zoom Social. Families picked
up a dinner box of Subway sandwiches
courtesy of the library. Everyone gathered
over Zoom and watch a video of what the
kids did over the summer. We would like
to thank everyone who made this summer
a success.

ISLETA FIRE DEPARTMENT
This month the Isleta
Pueblo Fire Department
took ownership of our
new 2021, 2000-gallon
Water Tender. We held a
push in on Saturday July
10th with members present along with
Tribal Officials. Governor Abeita gave
the opening prayer. After the push in,
many attendees stayed to receive a tour
of the apparatus. The new tender will be
an asset to the Pueblo by allowing us to
have a mobile water supply for the areas
of the Pueblo with limited to no fire
hydrants. We will also use the apparatus
to mutual aid surrounding areas in the
event of large fires. The Fire department
received Operational training from the
vendor prior to placing the unit into
service. Reminder to all residents to not
park within 15 feet of a fire hydrant and
to maintain a clearance of three feet of
the hydrant. It is imperative to not have
any obstacles in front or to the side of the
hydrant for easy access in the event of an
emergency.

what has come to be known as the U.S. Flag Code.
•
Members of the armed services and veterans
are asked to stand attention and salute when their flag
is passing in a parade or being hoisted or lowered,
civilians should place their right hand over their heart.
•
When flown at half-staff, the flag should be first
hoisted to the peak for an instant, and then lowered to
half-staff. It should again be raised to the peak before it
is lowered for the day. Half-staff is one half the distance
between the top and bottom of the staff.
•
In the United States, no other flag should be
placed above the American Flag.

The flag should not be displayed on days when
the weather is inclement.
•
The flag should never touch anything beneath it,
such as the ground, the floor, water, or merchandise.
•
On a platform, the flag should be above and
behind the speaker, with the union uppermost and to
the observer’s left.
•
When displayed from a staff in a church or
auditorium, the flag should occupy the position of honor
and be placed at the speaker’s right as he or she faces
the audience.
•
On Flag Day, June 14, to retire old or worn flags,
you may contact the POI Veteran’s Association to retire
your flag.

PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
TLC, the contractor working on the Village sewer line project, has advised
the Pueblo that they will be shutting down TR 33 for several weeks beginning
in late August, an exact date has not yet been determined. The shutdown
is necessary for the contractor to be able to complete necessary construction
work in the area. Due to high water table levels, de-watering is necessary
to remove the ground water from the construction area before the actual
work can begin.
All residents will still have access to their homes, detours will be clearly
marked and your cooperation and patience is very much appreciated. If you
have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact TLC directly.

ISLETA HEALTH CENTER
New Patient Application Process
The Isleta Health Center is federally funded and provides
health services to eligible American Indians living within the
Pueblo of Isleta and surrounding communities as defined
by the Pueblo of Isleta. Patients seeking to establish their
health care at the Isleta Health Center can do so through
the new patient application process. Applications can be
obtained from the Patient Registration desks located in the
main clinic or the Behavioral Health clinic.
The following documents must be submitted with each new
patient application in order to properly identify a person and
their eligibility for care at the Isleta Health Center.

as each new patient is scheduled an initial appointment for
a comprehensive visit with one of our physicians. A letter
of acceptance along with the patient’s first appointment
letter will be mailed once their eligibility is determined. It
is important that this appointment be kept, as the patient
will not be considered an established patient until the first
visit is completed. Once a patient has established their

PARKS AND RECREATION CENTER
Happy August, Isleta Pueblo! It’s finally
back to school for our children after they
have been out of an actual school setting
since March of 2020. I’m sure there is some
joy and relief that our children are finally
going back to an actual school setting and
some apprehension about their return to
school as well. Overall, children returning
to school is a welcomed sign that normalcy
or some form of normalcy is starting to
return after the madness that we have
been dealing with for the past 16 months.
It’s still obvious that we are not totally
out of the water yet and that’s why we all
need to make sure that we continue to stay
pro-active and diligent with any and all
mandated Covid safety protocols. We need
to continue do this for our own safety and
for the safety of everyone else around us as
well. I think it’s great that we here in the
Pueblo are being much more stringent with
our Covid safety protocols, more stringent
then all the surrounding communities are
with theirs. For most of us these safety
protocols have become part of our daily
routine, let’s all keep doing them. Please
continue to stay safe and let’s keep moving
forward in a positive manner.
The Parks & Recreation Department is
doing well, as I keep mentioning more and
more tribal members are coming back to our
facilities and parks. This is an awesome
indication that we making great strides
towards fighting the battle with Covid. I
hope all of you come back and enjoy the
great programs and facilities we have here.
RECREATION SECTION
Summer program went over really well and
ended July 30th, 2021. The participants
did lots of fun activities this summer and
our rec staff did an awesome job with the
kids in our program. Below you will see
some pictures of the following activities the
kids did this summer. 4 and 5 year olds
built domes by using hula hoops, the 6 and
7 year olds built an obstacle course and
participated in a Frisbee toss that ended
with hop scotch.
Explora and Department of Education
did some activities with our children this
summer. The kids had a blast every Friday
with Explora activities. The youth learned
how to identify plants with colors, sizes and
smell. They used microscopes to look for
microorganisms living within the plant and
did some crayon rubbing drawing of the
leaves available. Other activities involved
building structures with balance and
weight. Youth used blocks to build towers
and used a rolled up paper to hold blocks
up to see how much weight it could hold.
The youth made their own robot by figuring
out how to place the cork screw in the right
place for it to walk. The robots were made
by using a cup, crayons and cork screw with
a mechanical device to make it move.
The TIWA language program staff Edna,
Sabrina, Evelyn and Carol from the Isleta
Language Department did a great job of
teaching the children our TIWA language.
They came out throughout the summer to
work with our youth. The youth learned
the basics of numbers, colors, greetings to
one another, simple everyday commands
and their names. They did a really good job
with the kids.
We have beginner ropers! 4 and 5 year olds
learning the roping techniques from staff
who brought in their toy roping dummies to
use and 8 and 9 year olds participating in a
nature walk behind the recreation center.
Overall it was a very successful summer for
the youth that participated and once again
I want to thank everyone that was involved
with our youth. It is said that it takes a
village to raise a child and each and every
August 2021
Isleta Pueblo News
of us is part of that village, we all have
the opportunity to help shape their young
impressionable minds. Let’s continue to
help shape their minds with good positive
things.
I can’t say this enough, we had an amazing
staff this summer, I really appreciate the
job they did for us.

Again, please make them feel welcomed and
utilize their fitness knowledge and skills.
PARKS MAINTENANCE DIVISION
The division keeps busting their butts
to make sure that all our parks and the
grounds around all of our facilities continue
to look great. We’ve had some nice rains in
July that have really been good for our grass,
trees and flowers, but it has also brought
out the weed. Our Parks crew and the
weed and litter crew that we had working
this summer have done an outstanding job
of making sure we kept up with the weeds.
If you see any weed issues with our parks
or facilities, please let us know so we can
get them taken care of ASAP. Our crew
has also been keeping up with the mowing,

kids all over New Mexico. Our first day we
went on a hiking trip to the Petroglyphs,
it was very exciting for the kids to see the
drawings on the lava rocks. Our second day
we went to the Bosque Del Apache in which
a representative from Isleta even gave us
a tour of the Wildlife Refuge, so we want
to give a big thank you to Tata Bernard
Lujan. The third day we went to the Isleta
Mountains and Bosque Trails. Some other
places we went to are Pilar NM, Cedar
Crest, Valle De Oro, Bandelier, and Jemez
Hot Springs. We were able to take a look
at the Mesa Ruins and the kids were very
engaged with Dr.Walt. They were taught
Page 23
about the ancestry and how they lived. The
kids were most excited when he let the kids
roam around and look for old pottery. We
hiked about a total of 16.5 miles throughout
the two weeks. It was a complete joy to see
the kids gain knowledge about all of these
new environments, the smiles were a true
reminder of the fun they had and knowledge
they gained. They were able to make new
friends and see many new places, and it is
important to educate our kids, they need to
learn about these things.
Lastly, I would like to inform you that we
will be having a Mini Triathlon and the
deadline to sign up is July 30th. So, I’m
challenging you to come down to the Rec

Know Your Numbers, You Are Important, You Are Worth It
Isleta Health Center
Program Postponements
Stephanie Barela, Health Educator
Phone: 505-869-4479
“Know Your Numbers, You’re Worth It” Positive Promotions Booklet 4/19; www.heart.
The Isleta Health Center (IHC) is doing
our part to encourage social distancing,
by continuing to postpone the following
programs until further notice:
CHOLESTEROL
High Cholesterol is one major controllable
risk factor for Coronary Heart Disease, Heart
Attack and Stroke. If you have other risk
factors, such as smoking, high blood pressure
or diabetes, your risk increases even more.
The Isleta Health Center wants to remind
you that we care about you, your family
and the health of the community. We will
be focusing the next few months on a new
campaign called “Know Your Numbers Health
Campaign” that is geared towards educating
the community on what risk factors you need
to control to improve your health. Important
key markers of health are cholesterol, blood
pressure, blood sugar, body mass index
(BMI), hormones and waist circumference.
Knowing your numbers and understanding
what they mean can greatly improve your
health and reduce the risk of disease. There
are resources made available to help you
understand what these numbers mean and
how to stay healthy. You can come by the
Isleta Health Center to pick up a “Know your
Numbers” booklet, read articles placed in the
monthly newsletter, and watch for educational
signage posted throughout the community.
One key health marker is cholesterol, a waxy
substance that comes from two sources,
which is your liver and foods such as meat,
poultry and dairy products. Your body needs
cholesterol to build cells, make vitamins and
other hormones, as well as help circulate
the blood, so some cholesterol is good, but
too much can be a problem. Foods that are
high in Saturated and Trans Fats can cause
your liver to produce more cholesterol than
normal, which then may cause a healthy
cholesterol level to become one that is
unhealthy. When the amount of cholesterol in
your blood increases, so does the risk to your
health, high cholesterol can cause a higher
risk of cardiovascular disease, such as heart
disease and stroke. That is why is it important
to have your cholesterol tested, so you know
your cholesterol levels.
There are two types of cholesterol, LDL
cholesterol, which is bad, and HDL, which is
good, a simple way to remember this is:
•
•
LDL – Looser (low-density lipoprotein)
HDL – Happy (High-density lipoprotein)
Too much LDL and not enough HDL can
lead to a slow buildup of cholesterol in the
arteries that feed the heart and brain. This
buildup can form a thick, hard deposit on the
inside of the arteries, which causes them
to narrow and become less flexible, known
as atherosclerosis. This makes it harder for
blood to get to the heart and other parts of
your body; it can also increase the chance
of a blood clot, which can block one of these
narrowed arteries that can lead to a heart
attack or a stroke.
LDL (Bad) Cholesterol:
Lower than 100mg/dL - BEST
100-129 mg/dL - Near or above optimal
130-159mg/dL - Borderline High
160-189 mg/dL - HIGH
HDL (Good) Cholesterol:
Less than 40mg/dL increases a man’s
risk for heart disease
Less than 50mg/dL increases a
woman’s risk for heart disease
Triglycerides (Type of fat (lipid)
found in your blood)
Less than 150mg/dL Normal
150-199 mg/dL Borderline High
200-499 mg/dL High
500mg/dL and over Very High
Total Blood Cholesterol:
Less than 200 mg/dL Desireable
200-239 mg/dL Borderline High
240 mg/dL and over High Blood Cholesterol
It is important to:
•
Check your cholesterol levels. It’s key
to know your numbers and assess your

WHAT IS GRIEF?
Grief is the natural reaction to loss. While everyone
experiences some form of grief and loss, it is also an
intensely personal experience. It is the emotional
suffering we feel when we lose something or someone
we love. The pain of the loss can feel overwhelming and
we may suddenly experience unexpected emotions from
shock or anger to disbelief, guilt, and deep sadness. The
pain of grief is not limited to our emotional suffering but
our physical health can also suffer, making it difficult to
sleep, eat, or even think straight. These are common
reactions to loss—and the more significant the loss, the
more intense our grief will be.
Many are enduring losses during this challenging time of
the Pandemic. While we usually associate grief with the
death of a loved one, any loss can cause grief, including:
•
Divorce or relationship breakup
•
Loss of health
•
Loss of a job
•
Loss of financial stability
•
A miscarriage
•
Retirement
•
Death of a pet
•
Loss of a cherished dream
•
Serious illness of a loved one
•
Loss of a friendship
•
Loss of safety after a trauma
•
Selling or moving away from the family home
Whatever the cause of the grief, there are healthy ways
to cope with the pain that, in time, can ease our sadness
and help us come to terms with our loss, find new
meaning, and eventually move on with our lives.
Seek help if you:
1. Feel like life isn’t worth living
2 Wish you had died with your loved one
3. Blame yourself for the loss or for failing to
prevent it
4. Feel numb and disconnected from others for
more than a few weeks
5. Are having difficulty trusting others since
your loss
6. Are unable to perform your regular daily activities

REOPENING AT THE POI ELDER
CENTER FOR SERVICES!!!!
With extreme precaution and well thought out safety
protocols, starting on August 9th we are preparing to start
Home Delivered Meals to clients who were being served
pre-COVID response, and adding Elders 60+ with the
most need who meet the delivery criteria. Please feel
free to contact us to request a Home Delivered Meal
and we will gladly conduct an assessment to determine
eligibility. We also serve those who do not meet the
criteria on an emergency basis for a period of one
month; for example, those who have been hospitalized
or returning from a rehabilitation facility. Remember we
also have the Benefits and Resource Office who can
help you access other services within our Pueblo or from
other governmental agencies (most service applications
can be initiated by staff over the phone or by computer
– no need for an onsite visit).
With alarming rise in numbers resulting from the 5 new
COVID variants we are being extra cautious about
opening all services at one time. Other services such
as In-Home Services, Congregate Dining, Adult Day
Care, Activities/Sr. Olympics, etc. will be reviewed with
the POI Health Center Safety Officer to determine safe
start dates for each service.
In the past year of closure, we delivered 61,362 meals,
a Care Package with Arts and Crafts and COVID-19
Educational Information on a monthly basis and a Keep
Your Household Safe Package with various household
products quarterly for over 300 elders. So happy to
have received so many thank you cards and phone calls
from our clients. As always we appreciate your gratitude
and prayers for all of the staff who worked untiringly for
our community in these desperate times.
We are here for you,

SUMMER WEATHER EYE CARE
Dr. Mitchel Anderson, OD, Optometrist
Phone: 505-869-4080
As the seasons change and the weather heats up, many of us
spend time outdoors working in our fields, gardens and tending
to our animals as well as other fun outdoor activities such as
camping, hiking, sports and recreational activities. During this
time, it is important to remember our eye health, in the heat of
the summer; it is especially important to wear UV protection,
the sun emits UV rays that can be damaging to our eyes over
our lifetimes. The more we protect our eyes with sunglasses, the
better eye health we will have.
It is more common for our eyes to get itchy and
drier during this time.
If your eyes are feeling dry, there are many types of eye
drops you can use. As an optometrist, I always recommend using
“Artificial Tears” or “Lubricant Eye drops”. You can use these
types of eye drops 4 times per day to help your eyes feel more
comfortable. If you feel the need to use these eye drops more than
4 times you will need to look for preservative-free eye drops that
come in small vials instead of the typical bottle.
If your eyes are feeling itchy, I recommend the following over
the counter eye drops: Ketotifen, Zaditor, Alaway, or Opcon-A.
These drops usually work the best, but feel free to try Visine or
ClearEyes as well. Just be careful using drops that say, “Get the
red out” as sometimes this can cause a rebound effect where
your eyes get even more red when you stop using them.
Following these tips can help you to fully enjoy your summer this
year while also promoting healthy eyes and comfortable vision.
Have a Healthy and
Happy UV Safety Summer
Remember to WEAR YOUR SUNGLASSES!

Welcome to Antoinette Thayer
Elder Center Activities Coordinator
Greetings Everyone,
I’d like to introduce myself my
Name is Antoinette Thayer, I am
the new Activities Coordinator at
the POI Elder Center. I’d like to
share a little bit about myself; I
was born here in Belen New Mexico
many moons ago... ha-ha!! I have
a little history to share about my
grandmother on my mom’s side,
she was born in ABÓ, and she is
Apache she moved to Tomé where
my mother was born. They moved
to Belen where my mother later
met my father and married. I lived
most of my life in California.
My experience as a Caregiver and Activities Coordinator
goes back 4 years. I really love and respect the elders in
my life. My love and compassion for elders has led me into
this field. Many clients that I have worked with are still in
my life, I continue to call and check in on them from time
to time. I moved back to NM to be closer to my parents. I
strive to be a trusted part of the Pueblo community as the
activity coordinator here at the POI Elder Center, to build
friendships and learn more about the community. I intend
to honor and respect the Isleta way of life. I look forward
to getting to know you, and I have lots of fun ideas for us.
Please feel free to reach out to me with your own ideas on
recreational activities and more. Sincerely,
Antoinette Thayer
