Most people know that the National Park Service cares for national parks, a network of over 420 natural, cultural and recreational sites across the nation. The treasures in this system – the first of its kind in the world – have been set aside by the American people to preserve, protect, and share the legacies of this land.
People from all around the world visit national parks to experience America's story, marvel at the natural wonders, and have fun. Places like the Grand Canyon, the Statue of Liberty, and Gettysburg are popular destinations, but so too are the hundreds of lesser known yet equally meaningful gems like Rosie the Riveter in California, Boston Harbor Islands in Massachusetts, and Russell Cave in Alabama.
The American system of national parks was the first of its kind in the world, and provides a living model for other nations wishing to establish and manage their own protected areas. The park service actively consults with these Nations, sharing what we've learned, and gaining knowledge from the experience of others.
Beyond national parks, the National Park Service helps communities across America preserve and enhance important local heritage and close-to-home recreational opportunities. Grants and assistance are offered to register, record and save historic places; create community parks and local recreation facilities; conserve rivers and streams, and develop trails and greenways.

Founded in 1976 by the 19 Pueblos of New Mexico, the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center (IPCC) is responsible for preserving and perpetuating Pueblo culture, and advancing understanding – by presenting with dignity and respect – the accomplishments and evolving history of the Pueblo people of New Mexico. It is located at the heart of nearly 80 acres of land owned by the 19 Pueblos and governed by the 19 Pueblos District. The non-profit Cultural Center is comprised of museum and gallery space, a collection of murals and other Native arts and artifacts, a library, archives, an education department, and cultural programming and events – each celebrating the Pueblo culture of New Mexico.
IPCC is located within a cultural and business district (known as the IPCC Campus) in the heart of Albuquerque. The IPCC Campus is also home to a variety of commercial enterprises (also owned and operated by the 19 Pueblos), which include Pueblo Harvest restaurant, Indian Pueblo Store, event and meeting space, Starbucks at Avanyu Plaza, Four Winds convenience store, two hotels, and more.
The mission of the IPCC Campus is to serve as gathering place where Pueblo culture is celebrated through creative and cultural experiences, while providing economic opportunities to Pueblo and local communities.
