About

DigiNewMex brings culturally rich art to the hands of Indigenous communities through an AR app that enables Indigenous self-expression with immersive 3D models of tamales, Indian tacos and red & green chile. DigiNewMex introduces emerging tech to Native American communities and is scalable through the digital landscape that Native Americans are already connected by (social media/the internet), and will be available for iOS and Android. DigiNewMex creates an inclusive emerging tech environment.

Impact

The original page also broke each season down by fund drive and showed an Available (unclaimed) balance; that level of detail survives only on the preserved snapshots.
