  Mr. UDALL of New Mexico. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to 
a recently lost New Mexican who was a devoted Native American educator, 
artist, and entrepreneur. Lloyd Kiva New had intuition and visionary 
skills that made him a successful business man; however, more 
importantly, his humble heart and ambition drove him to aide young 
Native American students to strive for excellence at the Institute of 
American Indian Arts.
  The Native American community has lost a prolific humanitarian, who 
devoted much of his

time to encourage young students to climb to a higher level of 
education. Investing much of his time and energy, aside from his 
reputation as a renowned artist and entrepreneur, he developed a school 
intended to teach the values of individuality and excellence among the 
Native American community.
  Not only in Santa Fe but also throughout the nation's Native American 
communities, New was well respected and admired. Fellow colleagues, 
family members, and friends will moum the death of a great public 
servant. May we remember and keep in our hearts the generosity and 
accomplishments of Lloyd Kiva New and those whom he left behind.
  Those who will continue his legacy are his wife Aysen New, his son 
Jeff New, and his daughter Nancy Sandroff.
  Mr. Speaker, Lloyd Kiva New will be deeply missed, but not forgotten.
