Capital Building in Santa Fe, NM

The venue for all things government is the capitol building, commonly known as the Roundhouse for its circular design. During a given session, lobbyists, activists, school children and media from around the state converge there.

The entire telephone directory for state agencies, employees and officials is available at www.phonebook.state.nm.us.

New Mexico is home to both Los Alamos and Sandia national laboratories. For these, the state receives federal funding. The state also is home to many acreages of federal land. National debates over endangered species and land policy usually hit home. 

Tribal Government

New Mexico's many Native American pueblos and tribes are sovereign entities. Over the past decade, many have diversified their business interests with casinos, resorts, golf courses, hotels and sports and entertainment venues. Tesuque, Pojoaque, Nambe San Ildefonso, Jemez, Santa Clara, San Juan, Picuris and Taos pueblos are all north of Santa Fe. A short drive south on I-25 will take you to Cochiti, Santo Domingo and San Felipe pueblos. Tours of the pueblos and ceremonial dances sometimes are open to the public, but photography, when allowed, often requires a small fee and/or a permit. The northern Indian tribes are united under the Eight Northern Indian Pueblos Council, a coalition based at San Juan Pueblo new Espanola.
