Mike Canfield

President & CEO

Indian Pueblo Cultural Center

Michael has strong ties to the New Mexico community. He is a member of the Laguna Pueblo and has served and continues to serve on many community-based boards including Visit Albuquerque, The Greater Albuquerque Chamber of Commerce, CNM Ingenuity, Albuquerque Regional Economic Alliance, Economic Forum, New Mexico Gas Company, Laguna Construction Company and the Near North Valley Neighborhood Association. He also served on the CNM Governing Council, the State Public Education Commission and as a Commissioner for the City of Albuquerque’s Commission on Indian Affairs.

On his off time, Michael can be found enjoying off-road motorcycle rides, playing tennis, or - more likely - spending time with his eight grandchildren.

Mike's full bio

The Indian Pueblo Cultural Center (IPCC) Campus serves as a gathering place where Pueblo Culture is celebrated through creative and cultural experiences, while providing economic opportunities to Pueblo and local communities. It is located at the heart of nearly 80 acres of land owned by the 19 Pueblos and governed by the 19 Pueblos District (a sovereign government formed by the Tribal Councils of the 19 New Mexico Pueblo Communities) at the former location of the Albuquerque Indian School (1881-1982). The Center is comprised of museum and gallery space, a collection of murals and other Native arts and artifacts, a library, archives, an education department, a teaching kitchen/restaurant, and cultural programming and events – each celebrating the Pueblo culture of New Mexico.
