Indian Market offers a new message of gratitude to controversial energy industry sponsor

The organizer of the Santa Fe Indian Market is once again thanking a sponsor of the popular event amid ongoing controversy over the involvement of one of the world’s largest energy companies.
As anticipated, the Southwestern Association for Indian Arts (SWAIA) put up another social media post about the sponsorship of ExxonMobil after deleting the first one. But the new showing of gratitude was markedly different — it only contained the social media handle of the energy giant, along with those of other sponsors.
The September 8 post also didn’t offer an explanation of why non-profit organization accepted $30,000 from ExxonMobil, a major player in an industry that has contributed to the exploitation of tribal lands and to the crisis of missing and murdered relatives. A public relations executive had previously told Indianz.Com that more context was going to be provided about the donation.
