Lifelong Learning Lecture: Lifeways and Traditions of the Upper Río Grande Region

Lifeways and Traditions of the Upper Río Grande Region with Herman Martínez, Ph.D. and Patricia Martínez, M.A.

This lecture will explore the traditions and lifeways of the Indo-Hispano communities of northern New Mexico and southern Colorado.  For generations, these traditions have been maintained and transferred through oral customs.  The Martínez's work with Hilos Culturales, a Colorado non-profit organization, has centered on showcasing four hundred years of community folk music and traditions, recognizing and appreciating the mosaic of Indo-Hispanic heritage.
