Cultural and education: ipcc provides guests with traditional pueblo dance experiences which is an essential way of life in pueblo culture. This experience showcases the importance of song and dance from various pueblo communities and is one of the most popular programs at the center. The dance program is the only venue in north america to host native dances year-round, showcasing groups from the 19 pueblos of New Mexico and the region. Native dance is vital to pueblo communities and the program shares the story of the pueblos through movement, regalia, drumming, and song. Ipcc is a world-class facility in educating visitors about the legacy of resilience, accomplishments, and living history of the pueblo people and serves as a vibrant place for people of all cultures to share, learn and discover. The indian pueblo cultural center (ipcc) has worked to develop its educational programming to share the complex political, social, cultural, and economic history of the pueblo people with our guests. Whether on a guided tour or exploring ipcc on their own, guests can move throughout our facility and feel our pueblo perspective on historical events, learn traditional concepts, and/or draw critical connections to the pueblo core values, which develops and promotes mutual respect across cultures. Ipcc has worked to create a pueblo curriculum (k-12) which aligns with New Mexico education standards and benchmarks to provide New Mexico educators over 100 unit plans they can use to incorporate the pueblo story and perspective in their classrooms. Our education program also hosts tour groups with age-specific tours and hands-on activities to enhance their experience and understanding of pueblo culture.
