From the Office of the Governor
Ma Gu Wam,
I hope this message reaches you in good health and spirits. My condolences to
those who have recently lost family and loved ones. Let’s be thankful that we
had many of these elders for close to one hundred years. Imagine the history
that these people lived and the lessons conveyed to us. Blessings to everyone
for continued good health and long life. What a busy beginning of the year with
all of the traditional events and the Easter Season activities soon to be upon us.
Please be informed that many of the tribal offices will be closed on Good Friday
so that employees may partake in the day’s events.
On March 13th, I appointed Ms. Francine Jaramillo as our new in-house
Attorney for the Pueblo of Isleta. Ms. Jaramillo comes to us from the American
Indian Law Center and we are proud to have one of our tribal members fill this
very important position. Ms. Jaramillo’s Bio is incorporated in this month’s
newsletter.
The New Mexico State Legislature came to a close on March 18th with the Tribal
Infrastructure Fund still a major funding topic for the Pueblo of Isleta. With
regard to the gas tax-we are against any changes to the tax code which could
delete special tax exemptions presently allowed to the tribes. HB 202 included
a 10% increase in the gas tax, without eliminating the tribal gas tax and moving
incidence of tax to the rack. It is likely that a special session will be called
and these concerning issues will be addressed. As you may know, Governor
Martinez is threatening a government shutdown for state government.
Tiwa Lending Services, Office of the Special Trustee, First Nations Development
Institute and American Indian Chamber of Commerce of New Mexico are to
be commended for joining forces to offer the second Native American Youth
Empowerment Symposium held at Isleta Resort and Casino on March 27,
2017. This symposium was geared towards teaching youth skills for money
management, financial literacy. April is “Financial Literacy Month”. The
Keynote speaker was Secretary Kelly Zunie, New Mexico Indian Affairs
Department and a video address by Congresswoman Michelle Lujan-Grisham.
A big “thank you” to all who participated to make this event happen.
In closing, I want to wish you and all your families many good blessings.
Isleta Resort & Casino
April 2017
Construction fences are set to go up and work will soon get underway this month
at Isleta Resort & Casino. The work is part of a massive $40 million upgrade,
set to span the course of the next 18 months. The plan was first unveiled to
Pueblo of Isleta community members in the February Newsletter, and further
discussed during a community meeting at the Resort in early March.
The Resort’s reinvention answers a common call in the Gaming industry for the
demand to continually rejuvenate your product, in order to stay relevant and
competitive. That need is especially important in the Albuquerque-area, which
has been found to be one of the top three most competitive gaming environments
in the United States.
In fact, the majority of casinos across the country typically do some level of
renovation and reinvention every 3 to 5 years. Our Resort has not seen such
changes, however; and therefore that is one of the main premises behind the
planned renovation. The Resort’s re-invention of its product not only maintains
its current client base, but also aims to attract new guests from around the
region.
“The Albuquerque market is a very experience-driven market. Visitors want to
enjoy a night out, where they can find a good meal and quality entertainment.
Our renovation will focus highly on those two areas. In order to further advertise
the all-encompassing entertainment package we offer, we’re excited to be known
as “Where the Fun Begins,” says Isleta Resort & Casino CEO Harold Baugus.
In fact, the new design includes food court style dining. The new product will
add higher quality, quicker service type of food offerings. The first phase of
the construction, however, begins with the casino’s main entrance. Guests will
now be directed to enter through the northern doors, near the Bingo Showroom.
Valet will also transport Guests to that area. Additional upgrades down the road
include an expanded Triple Sevens Saloon, new Showroom, updated casino floor,
and much more. The Resort has promised to keep community members aware
of construction, and is expected to continue to provide updated information via
the community Newsletter.

men,” the Pueblo of Isleta Veterans Association are
“looking for information on a few good veterans”,
listed below. These are new additions, names to be

were submitted to the Association, and sometimes

asking to help to correct the list. If anyone out there
can add or delete any info to the list, or if the info
is correct, please call Commander Fred R. Lujan at

The next POI Veterans Association meeting is

Veterans Center located in Los Charcos, NM.
Jennifer DeWinne, VA Medical Center Health
Systems Specialist will provide information on
the importance of the DD-214 (Military Discharge
Document). This is valuable information for
veterans and their families.
The POI Veterans Center is still working to
complete the center. As you may have noticed
there are three modular buildings located on the
property; the main building was purchased for
approximately $120,000 and the other two were old
buildings were donated by POI. These two buildings
are in need of major renovation, and the renovation
process has been started. Funding for the module
building, renovation, fencing, driveway etc., and
etc. is the result of NM State Capital Outlay Funds.
We are very thankful to all the legislators who have
helped support our Association. Since 2010, the
Association has received approximately $300,000
from NM State Capital Outlay Funds. And always,
we want to thank the late Richard “Dickie” Baker
for donating the property to the POI veterans.
For more information on the Association, veterans
concerns/questions, please call Commander Fred
R. Lujan, 573-3733, Vice – Commander Michael
B. Lucero, 288-4098, or Adjutant/VSO, Ulysses
Abeita, 264-4110.
And a reminder, any veteran with an honorable
discharge may join the Association for a mere
annual membership fee of $10.00. Next meeting…5
April 2017 at 6 PM.

The Pueblo’s New General Counsel:
Making it Legal
The Pueblo welcomes Ms.
Francine M. Jaramillo, Esq.
to the Legal Department.
Ms. Jaramillo recently
accepted an offer to become
the
Pueblo’s
General
Counsel. She began work
on March 13, 2017.
In
her capacity, she will
manage the Pueblo's legal
functions, work closely
with
tribal
leadership
and tribal departments,
and oversee the work of
outside legal counsel. Her
responsibilities
include
providing legal counsel and
advice in the areas of tribal
government, federal-tribal
relations, environmental
and natural resources,
economic development, employment matters and jurisdictional
issues. Ms. Jaramillo will also be assessing the Legal Department's
operations and developing strategies to ensure that the Pueblo's
legal needs are addressed in a timely and effective manner, and
in accordance with the highest professional standards. A longterm goal is to lessen the Pueblo’s reliance on outside counsel and
handle more of the work in-house.
Prior to joining the Legal Department, Ms. Jaramillo worked as a
Staff Attorney for the American Indian Law Center, Inc. (AILC),
the oldest existing Indian-managed and Indian-operated legal
and public policy organization in the country. During her 6 years
at AILC, she provided research and analysis on policies and laws
impacting tribes and Native Americans, developed curriculum
and conducted training for tribal courts, tribal governments, and
other public and private entities. She was part of the AILC Team
that performed tribal court assessments, evaluated tribal needs,
provided recommendations for improving tribal court operations
and assisted in securing funding for tribal courts through the
Bureau of Indian Affairs.

appointed by former Governor Bill Richardson to serve as Senior
Policy Analyst for the New Mexico Indian Affairs Department.
In that role, she was instrumental in the passage of several key
pieces of legislation benefiting the Pueblos and Tribes including
the New Mexico State/Tribal Collaboration Act, which calls for
consultation with tribal governments; Amendments to the New
Mexico Subdivision Act, which protects the natural resources
including water from subdivision development along tribal
boundaries; and the Severance Bonds for Tribal Infrastructure,
which created a permanent funding source for the New Mexico
Tribal Infrastructure Fund (TIF). She received her B.A. from
the University of Washington and her J.D. from the UNM School
of Law. Ms. Jaramillo is a member of the State Bar of New
Mexico. She was born, raised, and still lives in Isleta Pueblo.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANA
The historic Isleta
Courthouse on the
plaza was the setting
for the 100th birthday
celebration for former
Isleta
First
Lady,
Margaret Carpio Abeita
on Saturday March
11, 2017. Excitement
and merriment filled
the
courthouse
all
afternoon as wave and
wave of family, friends
and well-wishers came
by to wish the Abeita
family matriarch a
happy 100th and to
share stories and tales
of this beloved lady
throughout her long lifetime. Margaret Carpio was born on
February 14, 1917 to Jose Carpio and Emilia Lente. She later
married the handsome Andy Abeita, had seven children, 26
grandchildren, 28 great grandchildren and 1 great-great
grandchild. Raising her children was a full-time job but
when her husband became Governor in 1965, Margaret put
housekeeping to the side as she rose to assist her Governor
husband with his traditional responsibilities. Margaret
and Andy Abeita were married for 51 years. They traveled
extensively as ambassadors for Isleta Pueblo and made
hundreds of friends. Our best wishes go out to Mrs. Abeita
on this special occasion.
Meanwhile…Back at the Ranch…..
Spring has arrived!! The grass is greening up, temperature
is going up and the days are getting longer. We’ve had some
decent rainfall since the beginning of the year and that has
meant green grass so far. The cows and range are looking good,
there are lots of little calves on the ground and we should be
done calving by the middle of May. We are looking forward to
a better calf crop than what we had this past year and this
translates into more revenue for the Pueblo.
As the season changes so does the Comanche Ranch. We will
soon begin construction on crossfencing our largest pasture
as well as installing 1 mile of new waterline and installing
a 10,000 gallon water storage tank. These improvements
are made possible by using monies provided by the USDA,
Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) under
their Environmental Quality Improvement Program (EQIP).
Under this program the USDA will pay for 90% of the cost of
the projects and the ranch will be responsible for the other
10%. The majority of our contribution is through our labor
since the ranch hands will be doing the work. The only real
cost is the fence materials and the installation of the tank,
for that we must contract out. Along with the changes to the
infrastructure is the changes to the cow herd. Since 2015 we
have increased our breeding percentage from 63% to 83%,
a significant increase in a short amount of time. With the
addition of new bulls our goal is to increase the breeding
percentage to 92-95% within the next 2-3 years.
Change can be slow at times especially in this industry
but with hard work, dedication and the support of the
Administration and other programs we will succeed. We must
also not forget our faith and prayers. There have been many
times when things were not going according to plan and I took
some time to pray to our Creator and the “old cowboys” that
have gone before us, to give us strength, wisdom and guidance
to complete the task at hand and things turned out for the
best….with that I will leave you with some words of wisdom
from Bob Davie, the head coach of the UNM Lobos football
team. Coach Davie said “You cannot have expectations
without commitment”.
Until next month here’s wishing you all good health and
happy trails….and a Happy Easter!

Isleta Newsletter & 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 farm equipment. Leasing of houses and mobile homes will be accepted. Smaller
items which can be sold at the local flea markets or weekly yard sales will NOT be accepted.
Currently, this service is FREE to Tribal members. Land, houses, and mobile homes must be within the reservation
boundaries. Ads must meet the 160 character limit. Ads that exceed the 160 characters will NOT be submitted into the
Newsletter. A single picture may be submitted with the ad. Submitters of classified ads are responsible for generating
their own ads as this is a FREE service.
As a reminder, Tribal business owners may submit a small flyer at no charge. Like the classified ads, business owners
are responsible for generating their own flyers as this is a FREE service.
Classified ads and business flyers will be posted no more than two consecutive months. In the event where the Newsletter
may exceed the 24 page limit, classified ads and business flyers will be “bumped” for newsletter articles. Again, this is
a FREE service for Tribal members.
DEADLINES for classified ads, business flyers, and newsletter articles can be found in the first paragraph of the “Letter
from the Editor” article.

ENVIRONMENT DIVISION STUDY
WHAT IS RADON?
•
•
•
•
Radon is an odorless, colorless, tasteless Radioactive
gas
It is a natural occurring gas that is produced by the
breakdown of uranium in soil and rocks
Radon can migrate through foundations, cracks and
small openings into homes and buildings
Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in
the United States
The Pueblo’s Environment
Division recently received
radon test kits from the
New Mexico Environment
Department’s Indoor Radon
Outreach Program.
The
Environmental Protection
Agency’s action level is 4.0
picocuries per liter of air
(pCi/L). At or above this level
of radon, the EPA recommends
you take corrective measures to reduce your exposure.
In February, Environment carried out a preliminary study of
a few tribal offices and all the levels were all under 1.0 pCi/L.
In March, we expanded our study to cover most of the Tribal
offices and facilities.
This is one step towards looking at indoor air quality here on
the Pueblo. If you have any questions regarding this study or
would like to request a radon test kit for your home, please
contact Ruben Lucero at 505-869-9819.
Seasonal allergies (hay fever)
Allergies are an abnormal response of the
immune system. People who have allergies
have an immune system that reacts to a usually
harmless substance in the environment. This
substance (pollen, mold, and animal dander,
for example) is called an allergen.
Allergies are a very common problem, affecting
at least two out of every 10 Americans
Spring time brings budding trees, green grass,
and of course, weeds.
With seasonal allergies, also called hay fever
and allergic rhinitis, there are some strategies
you can try to keep some of your symptoms
under control. Bothersome symptoms include
sneezing, congestion, runny nose and itchy
eyes.
Try to reduce your exposure to the things
that trigger your allergy symptoms.
Stay indoors on windy days.
If possible delegate lawn mowing and weed
pulling.
Remove the clothing you have worn outside
and shower to rinse the pollen form your skin
and hair.
Don’t hang laundry outside. Pollen can stick
to sheets and towels.
Wear a pollen mask if you do outside chores.
Take extra steps when pollen counts are
high.
Check your local TV, newspaper or internet
for current pollen counts and forecasts.
Close windows and doors at night or any other
time when pollen counts are high.
Avoid outdoor activities in the early morning
when the pollen counts are highest.
If high pollen counts are forecasted start
taking your allergy medication before your
symptoms start.

Getting Your Adult Loved One Ready for Treatment
What’s the next step in your loved one getting help at Isleta
Behavioral Health Services (IBHS) for addiction treatment? First,
your loved one should visit IBHS to complete an assessment
with a Case Manager on staff. Our Case Management services
can discuss common questions and concerns about treatment
placement and admission requirements for local and out of state
residential treatment resources. The client will be informed of any
other documentation needed for placement.
The IBHS receives many requests for immediate residential
treatment placement. The admission criterion for the facilities
we use includes a physical examination, TB test, current alcohol/
drug assessment, and social history. Once this step is complete,
the client application is submitted to the treatment facility, whose
representatives then give final approval (or disapproval) for
admission of the individual applying for treatment services. It
is important to remember that the decision for admission to any
facility is made by the treatment facility staff and not by IBHS
personnel.
Once a client is accepted to a treatment program, their case
manager will then set an admission date, prepare a transportation
plan, and have the client sign a contractual agreement with IBHS
(see sample below). Finally, the client will be informed about what
is allowed at the residential program to
which they are accepted.
But do you ever wonder how come some
people can drink alcohol without problems
but others cannot? Research tells us that
some people have a genetic risk for alcoholism
while others develop problems through
ongoing alcohol abuse. Some individuals
are able to recover from alcoholism and
stay in the community while others benefit
more through placement in a residential
treatment program. Alcohol abuse is
dangerous and can lead to serious trouble
with withdrawals. Your loved one may fear
to stop the use of alcohol because of the pain of withdrawal (e.g.,
shakes, anxiety, paranoia, nausea, fatigue, depression and other
medical health symptoms).
Residential treatment programs do not accept anyone under the
influence of drugs or alcohol. Remember that the MATS Detox
Program or the emergency room in Albuquerque can assist your
loved one through the pain of withdrawal.
CLIENT CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENT WITH IBHS
I, (Client)_____________________________, accept the Residential Treatment Services (RTC) of IBHS, with the
following understanding:
•
That I will be financially responsible for any travel itinerary cost, which is not used by me in the course of
my residential treatment. Specifically, these costs are air flight, bus travel and/or train travel. I agree to repay
Isleta Behavioral Health Services for any or all travel expenses unused by me.
•
If I do not complete my RTC contractual time frame, or if I am unsuccessfully discharged from the RTC
program before my contractual exit date, I will be responsible for my own return travel cost.
•
I also agree to attend IBHS Outpatient services following my Residential Treatment stay. The duration
of IBHS Outpatient treatment services will be determined by my IBHS Clinical Therapist and the Residential
Treatment Facility’s follow up treatment recommendations and discharge summary.

Pokémon. They were able to pick an avatar,
team and given a free Pokémon to start off
with. For all the Pokémon they collected
they also earned Pokémon eggs, which
hatched common to very rare Pokémon.
We held “special” events throughout
March such as: Magikarp (fish) held

FROM THE DESK OF Arnold Sena
(PARKS & RECREATION DEPARTMENT DIRECTOR):
Happy April to everyone in the Pueblo!
Spring is in the air!!! We are well into the
planning stages for our annual summer
program and we are also preparing for
this month’s special events as well. The
Department strives to provide the pueblo
community with facilities, parks and
a variety of activities and events year
round, your input is valued and helpful to
our future planning, so please feel free to
contact us and let us know what you think.
Currently, our Department’s staff is busy
hosting and working on their regular daily
and monthly activities.
•
The Parks Crew is out in the Pueblo
daily prepping and beautifying the
parks and different areas throughout
the Pueblo for the spring and summer
season.
•
The Swimming Pool Crew is doing
their thing again now that the pool
heater has finally been replaced. They
are working with Pueblo members (youth
and adults) that are into water activities
(Swimming Lessons, Water Aerobics,
Lap Swimming, etc.).
•
Our Fitness Instructors at both
the new rec center and old rec center
are busy as usual trying to keep our
Pueblo members healthy with constant
motivation and healthy routines and
activities.
•
The Recreation Crew is busy with
the afterschool kids and planning for the
summer as well.
•
And the whole department is getting
ready for this month’s special events.
If you are interested in participating in
any of this month’s special events and
programs or if you simply would like more
information about the recreation centers
and the daily activities, please contact the
the New Recreation Center at 869-9777 or
the Old Recreation Center (Pickle Heights)
at 869-5741. We would love to hear from
you and we would really love to see you
using our facilities and services.
I hope everyone here in the Pueblo has been
enjoying and taking advantage of the great
weather that we’ve been having. I love the
great warm weather we are having, but I
don’t like the allergies that come with it.
The allergy season and the winds that we
get this time of year kick my allergies into
overdrive and it drives me nuts this time of
the year, but if you’re like me, I’m sure that
all of you are more than willing to deal with
the allergies for a short period of time if the
weather stays this nice.
With this nice weather I hope that all of you
are getting out and getting moving! This
is a great time to take full advantage of
this beautiful weather we are having. The
temperature this time of the year is perfect
for outdoor activities, so once again, GET
OUT AND GET MOVING, do it for your
health.

guys out and about in the pueblo trimming
trees and pruning shrubs and bushes,
fertilizing the parks and grass areas of
different properties, prepping our ball fields
for the upcoming little league season and
taking care of many other things around
the pueblo. I know I don’t say it enough,
but our Parks crew is second to none, they
work their tails off every single day, even in
the cold of winter and the heat of summer.
We have a great group of guys that we can
always count on.
Recently the crew (Brian Lente, Andrew
Jojola, Darren Chiwewe, Patrick Jiron,
Isidor Lujan) got together to do a little
brainstorming. They were trying to figure
out some new things or projects that they
could work on that would help spruce up
some of the areas they maintain. The
project they came up with WOWED me
and I’m sure it will WOW you too when you
see the finished product. These guys came

THANK YOU
I would like to take this opportunity to thank
all my family, friends, Father George and
the entire community for all of your prayers
and support during my extended stay in the
hospital.
As many of you may know, in November I
was hospitalized and diagnosed with the
West Nile Virus, Neuro Invasive Disease,
which is the more severe case of West Nile.
My symptoms included high fever, headache,
neck stiffness, disorientation, coma, tremors,
convulsions, muscle weakness, vision
impairment, numbness and paralysis.
I am writing this to educate the community on
West Nile. It is a very debilitating and deadly
disease. It is spread by infected mosquitos
that feed off infected birds. Mosquitos can
transmit the disease to humans and animals
when they bite. The easiest and best way
to avoid the West Nile Virus is to prevent
mosquito bites. People over the age of 50 are
more likely to develop serious symptoms of
West Nile Virus, and should take special care
to avoid mosquito bites.
Some infected birds can develop high levels of
the virus in their bloodstream and mosquitos
can become infected by biting these infected
birds. Some, but not all infected birds get sick
and die of the disease. Finding dead birds
may be a sign that the West Nile Virus is
circulating between birds and the mosquitos
in the area. You should not touch dead birds
with your bare hands. Dead birds should
be reported to the local and state health
departments.
The following is recommended by the Centers
for Disease Control (CDC):
• When outdoors, use repellents
containing DEET, picaridin, IR3535,
some oil of lemon eucalyptus or
paramenthane-diol. Follow the directions
on the package.
• Many mosquitos are most active
from dusk to dawn. Be sure to use insect
repellent and wear long sleeves and
pants at these times or consider
staying indoors during these hours.
• Make sure you have good screens
on your windows and doors to keep
mosquitoes out.
• Get rid of mosquito breeding sites
by emptying standing water from flower
pots, buckets and barrels. Change the
water in pet dishes and replace the water
in bird baths weekly. Drill holes in tire
swings so water drains out
• Keep children's wading pools empty
and on their sides when they aren't being
used.
Even though I am returning home, my
rehabilitation will continue. It may take
weeks or months, but with the continued
help and prayers from my family, friends, the
community and our Lord above I will make a
full recovery.

JOM News and Opportunities
Isleta Pueblo News
April 2017
WOW! The year had just started and Spring
Break is already over! The second half of
the school year is always busy with a whole
host of activities, including JOM activities,
state testing, Advanced Placement testing,
sports, prom, graduation, and a whole lot
more! Whew, how much busier can our
children be!
Calling All High School Seniors
Graduation Banquet 2017,
this is for YOU!!!
The Pueblo of Isleta
Department of
Education is proud to announce the 2017
Graduation Banquet in honor of our
graduates April 26, 2017 being held at the
Isleta Resort and Casino.
JOM hosted two activities for the month
of March. Students and their families got
together for family art night. Families
had fun bringing out their creative ideas,
drawings and even dance moves. Students
were also encouraged to participate in the
National Johnson O’Malley Association’s
(NJOMA) art contest which encompassed
the theme, “Gathering of JOM”. NJOMA’s
conference is being held in Albuquerque
during the Gathering of Nations this year.
JOM had two students enter their art
work into the contest. Each student and
one parent that came to family art night
received an art incentive for participating.
The second activity JOM held was a fieldtrip
to the Belen Balloon Rally. This event was
to allow the students to observe the basic
scientific principles of a hot air balloon. For
instance, what is needed to move the hot air
balloon, the different shapes and sizes of a
basket and how many individuals actually
fit inside a particular basket? Remember,
every fieldtrip JOM sponsors, it is a learning
opportunity for your student. So please
send us some fun learning opportunities
you would like your student to experience!
If you are a Native American student
graduating from Los Lunas Public Schools
or an Isleta student graduating from
Albuquerque Public Schools this event is
for you!!!
This event is by invite only and an R.S.V.P.
is required to attend. Please contact the
Department of Education by March 31, 2017
to confirm your attendance to this event at
505-869-9790. Student plus 2 adult guests
only.
With Spring semester here already,
the end of the school year will creep up
quickly. So please encourage your students
to stay on top of their assignments and
responsibilities so they don’t fall behind.
Balancing academics and extracurricular
activities can be overwhelming. If your
child is in need of extra help to stay on
top of his or her studies, JOM tutoring is
available. Please continue to encourage
your child to maintain passing grades.
The JOM program is committed to
providing timely advocacy support for your
child when needed or requested. If you
have a concern or believe your child is not
receiving equitable and fair treatment,
please give us a call. If there is a need we
will make adjustments to our schedules to
support you in meetings with the school
and advocate on your student’s behalf.
Our staff understands that education is a
very vital part of our existence in today’s
world, not only in our own tribal community
but in society as a whole. It is important
for the educational welfare and the future
successes of our students. We hope that our
various educational programs and services
we provide prove our commitment to the
future successes of our students and the
community. For more information about
the Johnson O’Malley Program, please

Isleta Elder Center: March 2017 Recap
Spring is officially in the air and the March
winds have quickly blown us in to April. The
Isleta Elder Center had a lot of great events
that took place throughout the month of
March. Our community was very grateful to
Father George back in our pueblo as he began
the month with a beautiful Ash Wednesday
Mass held at the Elder Center. Events such
as the 2017 AARP Free Tax Assistance
Day was a great event that took place as
the Elder Center hosted AARP volunteers
who assisted seniors of our community with
their tax preparation needs. This event had
over 100+ individuals throughout the day.
The Elder Center also hosted our monthly
Afternoon Bingo, our March session was
themed around St. Patrick’s Day and
participants dressed in their favorite green
attire as they enjoyed the afternoon filled
with friends, refreshments, popcorn, and
great prizes. With all these events taking
place in March, there is a lot to look forward
to as we move in April.
Upcoming events for April 2017:
With the spring season in full effect and the
weather becoming warmer there are a lot of
great activities and events to look forward
as we move into April. We encourage all
the older adults in our community to take

a social outlet are more likely to feel less

In Memory
Lupita Thomas, 1930-2017
In Memory of
Na-Na Lupe Abeita
We would like to thank everyone who knew
our beloved Lupita Thomas for your kind
words, encouragement, shared memories,
and donations given during our family’s
time of sorrow. Ms. Thomas was a mother,
sister, grandmother, great-grandmother,
aunt, and friend who lived a wonderful
87 years. She loved her Cowboys and she
enjoyed attending the Adult Day Services
Program at the Pueblo of Isleta Elder
Center. Thank you to Pauline Lucero and
the entire staff at the Elder Center/Adult Day Services program, and in particular, her
Personal Care Service aides, Jolene Carpio and Sharon Chiwewe. We’d also like to say
thank you to the staff at the POI Assisted Living Facility for making her feel comfortable
at ‘home’. Finally, thank you to all that had befriended her, engaged with her, or helped
in one way or another; your constant friendship and companionship throughout the
years is appreciated.
We wish to express our most sincere
appreciation and heartfelt thank you to our
relatives, family, friends, and community for
the outpour of love and support during NaNa Lupe leaving us.
Thanks to father George, Auntie Frances,
Dr. Nelson, Marla Jim, Natasha Abeita,
and Ann Begay, who were always there to
care for her. For Richard Garcia, Ed Riley,
and family for the wonderful mass. Thanks
for all of your prayers and help you gave to
the family. May god bless you all, with good
health and happiness. Thanks ever so much.
We’re sure Na-Na Lupe is grateful to all of
you as well.
Thanks to all, Abeita Family!
Our Condolences
On behalf of the entire Pueblo of Isleta, the Governor’s Administration and the Tribal
Council, I would like to express our heartfelt condolences to the families who lost loved
ones over the last few weeks. We, the people of Isleta are one large family and when
one of us feels the pain of the loss of a loved one, we all feel that pain as well. We take
consolation in the fact that as a community with strong traditional and cultural values,
we turn to our neighbors in times of need to help and assist whenever and wherever we
can. Such is the way we were taught by those who came before us and that is how we
expect those who will follow us to teach their children as well. I salute all of those tribal
members who gave so generously of themselves to assist others in need during their
time of mourning. Maybe you cooked a meal, sang in the church choir, dug the grave,
baked bread or chopped wood, or maybe you were just there to hold a hand and dry a
tear. I salute you all for everything and everyone who helped a friend or family member.
May our Creator continue to bless our community and our people in times of need. We
remember the following tribal members who have left us for a better place.
Michael Paquin, Maria Reynita Jaramillo,
Agnes Lucero, Maria Legoria Zuni,
Barbara Jaramillo Alvarez, Nana Lupe Abeita.

MSPI Quarter 2 Update & Quarter 3 Planning and
Implementations
With our MSPI Quarter 2 coming to an end (January – March), we
continue to plan activities for the youth of the community. We ask the
youth to help plan the activities we can offer them. All activities under
the MSPI Funded Grant Purpose Area #4, Generation Indigenous
(GEN-I) Youth Support Initiative, seek to meet 3 broad objectives:
1.
2.
3.
Implement evidenced-based and practice-based approaches
to build resiliency, promote positive development, and
increase self-sufficiency behaviors among native youth;
Promote family engagement; and
Increase access to prevention activities for youth to prevent
methamphetamine use and other substance use
disorder that contribute to suicidal behaviors in culturally
appropriate ways.
In order to meet an overall MSPI Goal, we promote early intervention
strategies and implement positive youth programming aimed at
reducing risk factors for suicidal behavior and substance abuse.
During Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month, we were able to
complete activities for our Quarter 2 goals including education about
communication, problem solving, and awareness of dating violence and
healthy relationships. Youth enrolled in the BHS Prevention Program’s
After-School Program (ASP) enjoyed a snowboarding activity as an
Experiential Outdoor Outing.
For the last two months, the youth enrolled in ASP earned their way to
go to Ski Santa Fe where they will have lessons on the fundamentals
of snowboarding. During the March Spring Break, the youth will learn
how adobes are made. Other ideas for the Spring Break week (March
20-23) include a trip to Santa Fe for an outdoor experiential outing with
the Santa Fe Mountain Center Ropes Courses, education sessions
and Equine Therapy. Look for the May edition of the POI newsletter for
updates on all the Spring Break fun!
Again, community members and youth are invited to be a part of our
planning processes for Quarter 3. Our next big planning phase includes
Summer Programming and our Annual Youth Summit Summer Series.

Snowboarding 2017 Update
The youth participants enrolled in the Behavioral Health Services
Prevention Program’s After-School Program (ASP) had the opportunity
to engage in an Experiential Outdoor Outing of Snowboarding.
For the last two months, the ASP youth earned their way to go to Ski
Santa Fe where they learned the fundamentals of snowboarding. Such
fundamentals included feet placements, balancing, turning, boarding
etiquette, and much more. The ASP participants were awarded this
opportunity for attendance and participation in Quarter 1 activities.
There were a total of 16 youth participants in snowboarding outings
with three chaperones. Four of these youth are considered mentors
with the Prevention Program. These mentors have a long standing
with the Prevention Program through ASP and Summer Programs.
The youth mentors were positive role models and provided guidance
to other youth during this outing. The guidance involved areas such
as walking youth through rentals, gathering gear, putting on boarding
boots, and helping them learn the fundamentals of snowboarding.
Chaperones had the opportunity to share memorable moments with
the youth from their own struggles of learning snowboarding basics
and see the youth smile, laugh, have fun, and express their gratitude
at the end of the day.
Two groups were initiated with the snowboarding outings and both
groups had two opportunities to go snowboarding. Each group got Never
Ever snowboarding lessons from skilled snowboarding instructors.
The instructors were really helpful in teaching the fundamentals and
providing hands on learning. Our youth all learned a new skill. After
the snowboarding lessons were given, the following group outing was
meant for them to practice on their own, and see their ability to go up
the mountain on the ski lifts. Although not every participant made it to
the ski lift, we had 90% make it. Of those that made it up the lift, they
had the opportunity to practice more on fundamentals coming down
the mountain.
