All Pueblo Council of Governors

The All Pueblo Council of Governors (formerly the All Indian Pueblo Council) is a non-profit Puebloan leadership organization and political entity. It comprises the 20 Pueblos – 19 across New Mexico and one in Texas and works on legislative, cultural and government issues. Some of the issues members fight for are the Pueblo Land Claims Act and the Indian Civil Rights Acts of 1968. They advocate for the sovereign rights of the Puebloan people and promote educational and economic advancement of the Pueblo nations. The council works to preserve the language, culture and traditions of the 20 pueblos.

The current chairman of the council is James R. Mountain of San Ildefonso Pueblo, who replaced Wilfred Herrera, Jr., of Laguna Pueblo.
