Tom Udall (D-NM) and Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-NM). “The smart development of tribal energy and mineral resources benefits Indian Country, New Mexico, and the nation,” Udall said in a statement. “These grants will go a long way towards supporting tribes in New Mexico as they maximize the use of their natural resources and spur economic development in Native American communities. “
