The University of New Mexico will no longer host Gathering of Nations. The Pit has been the home to Gathering of Nations for a long time.
However, the school announced on Wednesday that UNM has decided not to
be the host anymore. Authorities say the decision is financial and operational. The Director
of Media Relations says, “The University is facing tough budgetary
constraints, hosting the PowWow had become prohibitively costly to our

other university operations.”...more
Can't help but wonder if this didn't also enter into the decision.
Issues of concern to people who live in the west: property rights, water rights, endangered species, livestock grazing, energy production, wilderness and western agriculture. Plus a few items on western history, western literature and the sport of rodeo... Frank DuBois served as the NM Secretary of Agriculture from 1988 to 2003. DuBois is a former legislative assistant to a U.S. Senator, a Deputy Assistant Secretary of Interior, and is the founder of the DuBois Rodeo Scholarship.
