SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Santa Fe Quadricentennial 
Commemorative Coin Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds as follows:
            (1) Santa Fe, New Mexico, the site of native occupation 
        centuries before European incursions, was officially elevated 
        from a plaza established in 1608 to a villa and capital city in 
        1610 and has been the meeting place and home of many cultures.
            (2) The Palace of the Governors, built in the early 17th 
        century, served as the governor's quarters and seat of 
        government under 3 flags and is the oldest continuously used 
        public building in the United States.
            (3) La Fiesta de Santa Fe, a cultural, religious, and 
        social celebration, commemorating the resettlement of Santa Fe 
        by General Don Diego de Vargas in 1692 continues today as an 
        attraction for tourists and locals alike.
            (4) At the nexus of 3 historically important trails, Santa 
        Fe brought people and goods together over the Santa Fe Trail to 
        and from Missouri, California, and Mexico City.
            (5) Commerce on the Santa Fe Trail brought a much needed 
        boost to the American Midwest's economy during the recession of 
        the early 19th century.
            (6) Santa Fe was the rendezvous place for traders, mountain 
        men, and ``Forty-Niners'' on route to California and is today 
        home to a multicultural citizenry and world class art market.
            (7) The Santa Fe area has long attracted tourists, artists, 
        and writers, and is a center of market activity for arts and 
        culture year round, culminating in the world-renowned Indian 
        Market, Spanish Colonial Art Market, and International Folk Art 
        Market.
            (8) New Mexico is the home to the oldest and continuously 
        inhabited indigenous communities in North America.
            (9) Native communities now residing in New Mexico include 
        the following: Acoma Pueblo; Alamo Navajo Chapter; Canoncito 
        Navajo Chapter; Cochiti Pueblo; Isleta Pueblo; Jemez Pueblo; 
        Jicarilla Apache Tribe; Laguna Pueblo; Mescalero Apache Tribe; 
        Nambe Pueblo; Picuris Pueblo; Pojoaque Pueblo; Ramah Navajo 
        Chapter; San Felipe Pueblo; San Ildefonso Pueblo; San Juan 
        Pueblo; Sandia Pueblo; Santa Ana Pueblo; Santa Clara Pueblo; 
        Santo Domingo Pueblo; Taos Pueblo; Tesuque Pueblo; Zia Pueblo; 
        and Zuni Pueblo.
            (10) Many other native communities or groups disappeared or 
        were moved after European contact.
            (11) The Pueblo Revolt of 1680 is known to be one of the 
        first ``American Revolutions'' when the Pueblo people ousted 
        Spanish colonists from New Mexico.
            (12) The Santa Fe area has long attracted tourists, 
        artists, and writers: the classic novel Ben Hur was written, in 
        part, by then Governor Lew Wallace, in the Palace of the 
        Governors.
            (13) A commemorative coin will help to foster an 
        understanding and appreciation of New Mexico, its history and 
        culture, and the importance of Santa Fe and New Mexico to the 
        history of the United States and the world.
