Nación Genízara: Ethnogenesis, Place, and Identity in New Mexico

Genizaros are descendants of 18th and 19th Century Indian captives who, to varying degrees, were acculturated and assimilated into New Mexico’s Hispanic and Catholic society while remaining in a condition of servility and dependency. This presentation will examine the history, cultural evolution, and survival of the Genízaro people up to the present day.

Moises Gonzales is an associate professor of urban design in community and regional planning in the School of Architecture and Planning at the University of New Mexico. He currently serves on the board of trustees of the Carnué Land Grant and has written numerous articles on the history and culture of Genízaro settlements.
