Drawing on interviews conducted with Pueblo people over the span of 11 months, this presentation shares stories illustrating how contemporary Pueblo concepts of belonging, like accountability, permission, and protocol, transcend current tribal enrollment practices like blood quantum and lineal descent. These practices significantly impact Pueblo women’s reproductive choices, resulting in generational legacies that hold long lasting implications for the future of Pueblo communities. Grappling with questions like, "I wonder how many babies are born because of blood quantum rather than love?" and "I want an enrolled child, so I can't leave him,” this presentation presents a brief overview of current approaches to tribal enrollment in some of New Mexico’s Pueblos and how Pueblo women navigate these structures as they create families.
