- Notes:
The east corner of 4H Park is a known burial site and final resting place for some students and staff who attended the Albuquerque Indian School (AIS) from 1882 to 1933. In 1881, the Presbyterian Church opened AIS to educate and assimilate Native children into white Anglo society. AIS was transferred to federal control in 1884.
Recognizing the sensitive and sacred nature of this site, which is connected to a difficult and painful period of history for the Native American community, the City of Albuquerque is working with community stakeholders, those who have a connection to the site, and Pueblo & Tribal Leaders, to listen to recommendations on what steps should be taken next.
