Custom was changed to a more definite policy by the Regents in 1972. Although this market was discontinued during World War II, it was reestablished immediately thereafter and is now used during the entire year. An agreement was made between the Museum and the New Mexico Association of Indian Affairs to have a market under the portal. In 1935, the Museum began to limit the space inside the portal to the Indians for the sale of their arts and crafts. In the interest of stimulating the native crafts and encouraging the educational consequences, the Board of the Museum was carrying out an educational policy to develop and preserve the traditions of New Mexico. The New Mexico legislature established the Museum in 1909, and since then the Indians have been a part of the Museum's program.
