Pueblo people are increasingly faced with challenges regarding how to maintain or promote the involvement of all community members in our cultural and linguistic life. Pueblo core values are key in addressing these challenges and are common across Pueblo or Indigenous communities, and their significance is magnified when considering small populations and the realization that every community member’s contributions or talents are valuable to the whole. Today, Pueblo communities must reinforce internal strengths and marry them with the expertise earned outside of the community through professional efforts. Based on almost two decades of community development work with Pueblo communities in New Mexico and alluding to more recent research derived from Pueblo youth programming through the Leadership Institute at the Santa Fe Indian School, this chapter proposes a few ways of considering the link between contribution and sustained engagement with community. The idea of community engagement is narrowed to Pueblo relationships and daily cultural practices and expanded to proposals for culturally-based program design
