ABOUT
I am Dr. Christina M. Castro
Taos Pueblo/Jemez Pueblo/Chicana
I was born in Southern California into a family who participated in the federal Indian Relocation program. I now live in O’ga P’ogeh, Santa Fe, NM within my traditional Pueblo homelands. I am a mother, farmer, writer, scholar, educator, community organizer, multidimensional artist, public speaker, community convenor, space maker and more. My scholarly focus is on Pueblo/Indigenous Cultural Reclamation in Northern NM, Indigenous advocacy and community cultural engagement and collaborative multi-diverse community engagement. I received my Doctorate from the Pueblo PhD Program at Arizona State University’s School of Social Transformation and Justice Studies in 2018 and am now an independent consultant.
