Most notable, the Center was able to offer paid internships for Native Americans from 2003-2008; 2008 was the fifth and final year of this 3-year Earmark! The Center's Native American Honors Internships program provided select Native students with quality, mentored paid internships in the following areas: archives, library, museum, and historic preservation. Interns worked at the Center of Southwest Studies and participated in outreach opportunities at institutions in the Four Corners Region.
