The Office of Environmental Technical Assistance (OETA), in collaboration with the Eight Northern Indian Pueblos Council, is dedicated to supporting the 21 pueblos and tribes of New Mexico and the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo of Texas in their efforts to improve environmental resources and health. Through a diverse range of programs, OETA assists communities in prioritizing the protection of their tribal lands from environmental hazards and pollutants.
OETA's mission is to promote, protect, and preserve tribal environments by empowering pueblos and tribes to enhance their values, culture, lands, and health. They offer an annual Tribal Youth Environmental Summer Camp (TYESC) that provides high school students with hands-on experience in earth sciences and environmental monitoring techniques, fostering a deep understanding of land preservation and the cultural significance of environmental protection within their own communities.
