Help for Homeless Native Americans, Eva Encinias-Sandoval, Founder & Director of the Festival Flamenco Internacíonal de Alburquerque, The Line
Advocates say humanizing people on the streets helps address other concerns for the health and wellbeing of people who are experiencing instability in their housing. This week on New Mexico in Focus, correspondent Antonia Gonzales leads a conversation about efforts to assist Native Americans who are homeless in Albuquerque.
NMiF host Gene Grant interviews Eva Encinias-Sandoval, founder/director of the Festival Flamenco Internacíonal de Alburquerque, which kicks off its 31st year on June 9. This annual event brings flamenco artists from abroad to New Mexico for performances, workshops and other celebrations of flamenco.
And Gene Grant and the Line opinion panelists look at the political landscape leading up to the primary elections, including the many independent candidates looking to win seats in the state legislature. The Line also debates the merits of the new leadership structure at New Mexico State University and examines a judge’s ruling that the University of New Mexico Foundation is subject to public records laws.
