SANTA FE, N.M. -- Actor and director Robert Redford and New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson unveiled details Friday of a collaboration that will expand training opportunities for Native Americans and Hispanics interested in filmmaking, the arts and the environment.
Redford and Richardson first announced the "Sundance in New Mexico" idea last spring. In recent months, it has evolved and been given a new name - "Milagro at Los Luceros" - to better reflect that the institute will be a product of New Mexico, rather than just an offshoot of Redford's Sundance Institute in Utah.
"It's a name that reflects the spirit of the land and the passion of its people," Richardson said at a news conference.
The project will be based at Los Luceros, a state-owned hacienda and complex of buildings along the Rio Grande north of Espanola. Besides the historic buildings, the state will use $750,000 in federal stimulus funds to build a series of eco-friendly lodges where aspiring filmmakers can stay while attending workshops.
Redford and Richardson signed an agreement to formalize the partnership. Redford said he has been committed throughout his life to enabling "underrepresented voices" - particularly those of Native Americans and Hispanics - to tell their stories.
Growing up, he said, he watched films that misrepresented American Indian culture and vowed that if he could ever do something to change that, he would.
"What I would like to see in Los Luceros is these cultures

The BLM is rounding up wild horses for their protection....Is this true? Or is big Oil removing the Majestic animals to remove protections imposed on the land they want to drill on.
With the advent of laws that allow horizontal drilling, and the unnecessary removal of protected species, the almost obsolete industry of fossil fuels is once again flexing its muscles to rob the american citizen its indigenous people and its current inhabitants (man and beast) of the right to be left alone.Madeleine Pickens, wife of Oil BILLIONARE make a bold proposition to purchase 1million acres...The wild horses reside on MillionsThe BLM is rounding up wild horses for their protection....Is this true?
