January 1, 2024 Los Comanches New Years Celebration

Every year, Los Comanches de la Serna visit households in Talpa, Llano Quemado, Ranchos de Taos and La Cordillera to bless the New Year and the residents of the Ranchos Valley. This year the dancers, singers and drummers of Los Comanches and their neighbors gathered for a celebratory meal at the Talpa Community Center where the group was honored for their cultural contributions to the community. Here, Los Comanches are performing traditional songs and dances once again, at homes in Talpa, January 1, 2024.

November 11, 2023 Las comunidades del Valle de Los Ranchos Matanza

After nearly 1 year of being formally designated “Las comunidades del Valle de Los Ranchos, a traditional historic community” by Taos County and under state law, nearly 400 people came together from the five neighborhoods to celebrate the designation and the season.

This was all made possible with help from the Lor Foundation!
