Pueblo education programs boost Taos Pueblo youth development
Taos Day School and Taos Pueblo initiatives expand youth art and learning. Oooonah Art Center transformed into a hub for tribal art with workshops for ages 12 to 68, focusing on art and entrepreneurial skills while addressing tribal governance and funding changes. Carl Concha earns a Japan show next year, and the center shifts to non tribal sponsorship for private support. Taos Day School expands to K-8 with many Native American teachers, while Taos Pueblo education chief Danny Suazo launches on the job training, college admission support, and a summer youth employment program to aid graduates.
