The All Pueblo Council of Governors (formerly the All Indian Pueblo Council) is a non-profit Puebloan leadership organization and political entity. They represent the 20 modern Pueblos – 19 across New Mexico and one in Texas – on legislative, cultural and government issues. Some of the issues they fight for are the Pueblo Land Claims Act and the Indian Civil Rights Acts of 1968.[1] They advocate for the sovereign rights of the Puebloan people and promote educational and economic advancement of the Pueblo nations.[2] The council works to preserve the language, culture and traditions of the 20 pueblos.

The current chairman of the council is Wilfred Herrera, Jr. of Laguna Pueblo who replaced J. Michael Chavarria, of Santa Clara Pueblo.[3] [4]
