The purpose of the Local Contexts Southwest Network is to connect Indigenous community members/citizens, institution and organization staff, and others located in/with connections to New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Nevada, Colorado, and other relevant cultural regions who are interested in Local Contexts to see how we can together support momentum and interest for Local Contexts in the region through regular virtual meetings.
