"Ohkay Owingeh, New Mexico: Tribal-Led Cultural Preservation
Nearly 30 traditional pueblo homes have been restored in Ohkay Owingeh, New Mexico as part of the ongoing restoration of Owe'neh Bupingeh, the Ohkay Owingeh tribe's historic center. Rooted in a tribal-led and community-informed planning process, the preservation of Owe'neh Bupingeh is being guided by the tribe's cultural values and self-determined principles. The restoration efforts are the product of the Owe'neh Bupingeh Preservation Plan - the first such plan ever developed by a tribal community in the United States and a recipient of the 2013 HUD Secretary's Opportunity and Empowerment Award."
