Indigenous Youth Council (IYC)
The Indigenous Youth Council (IYC) was formed in February 2021 following two listening sessions that the New Mexico Indian Affairs Department (IAD) held with tribal youth from across the state. Issues discussed ranged from the desire to have access to higher education resources to behavioral and mental health needs for tribal communities. Participants also voiced the desire to have more intertribal connections between the Nations, Pueblos, and Tribes in the state.

Podcast · NM Indigenous Youth Council · This podcast is part of a series of projects led by members of New Mexico’s Indigenous Youth Council to uplift and highlight issues impacting the state’s Indigenous youth. By focusing on youth voices and their representation through open conversations, we hope to spotlight the realities Indigenous communities face regarding their mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual wellness. Topics we will discuss include Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives (MMIWR), the stigma of mental health, the Indian Family Protection Act, and the upcoming IYC Youth Mental Health Summit.
