Yazzie/Martinez Case Update

The state constitution guarantees that all children in New Mexico have access to a uniform and sufficient education. However, since the Yazzie/Martinez v. State of New Mexico case that was filed in 2014, the court found that far too few students are receiving an education that meets the state’s minimum standard and prepares them for college, career and life. This presentation provides an overview of the landmark Yazzie/Martinez court ruling, the key deficiencies of the education system that must be addressed, and the current phase of the lawsuit.


Melissa Candelaria (Pueblo of San Felipe)

Melissa is the Education Director at the New Mexico Center on Law and Poverty and serves as co-counsel for the Yazzie Plaintiffs in the Yazzie/Martinez v. State of New Mexico lawsuit. Melissa has extensive policy, legal, and advocacy experience and a lifelong commitment to serving the Native American community. In her previous work with tribal, federal, and state governments, Melissa provided guidance and assistance on a wide range of policy issues including education, health, child welfare, tribal courts, and the promotion and protection of tribal sovereignty. Melissa has a Juris Doctor with a Certificate in Indian Law from the University of New Mexico School of Law.
