Land and Water Traditions at the Core:

The Importance of Community-Based and

Community-Created Multicultural Education Models in New Mexico

Article written by Dr. Virginia Necochea, published in the Association of Mexican American Educators Journal, 2019

​

This article focuses on the work CESOSS has been leading and developing over the past few years. Specifically, the Cultivando Nuestro Futuro Leadership Institute, the development of the Macehualli Leadership Model, and other educational initiatives that are underway. 

​

It is vital to share how community-led organizations are creating impactful models that work to reconnect young people and communities with the sacredness of land and water-based traditions.
