Event Details

Ranger Joseph Tackes brings to light the story of genízaros, a little-discussed topic in New Mexico’s history, one of indentured servitude. The talk will cover the origins of the genízaro label used by the Spanish, why indentured servants were brought to the state, the hardships they faced, and the role that their descendants have played in shaping the history and current state of New Mexico.

Included with admission of $7, free for NM seniors, MNMF members, FCJHS, children 16 and younger, and people with Tribal affiliation.
