We are delighted to present to you the Ciclos de la Tierra: Cultivating Querencia through Mutualismo Resolana and Self Governance. This curriculum represents an ongoing collaborative effort among community members, local organizations, and schools. This work originates from a collaboration of educators and organizers who felt that there was a need to create a school garden curriculum that was immersed in the local history and traditions of the Central Rio Grande Valley, in what is known now as the Valle de Atrisco, which is sitting on Tiwa land.

The feedback collected from teachers revealed a need for curriculums that not only responded to the New Mexico Public Education Department’s outcome of the Yazzie/Martinez v. State of New Mexico ruling, but a curriculum that would provide opportunities to strengthen the connection between youth and culture, land, and water that is necessary for life to be sustained.
