OETA was established in 2005 by the All Indian Pueblo Council with support from the 22 pueblos and tribes. The primary mission of the office is to promote, protect and preserve tribal environments by assisting pueblos and tribes in building capacity to enhance tribal values, cultures, lands and health.
The office currently runs several programs including environmental education outreach, underground storage tank compliance assistance, grant writing and management services and water quality.
The event is free and the public is welcome.
