Indigenous Fathers of Taos
Taos Pueblo
Located just north of the modern city of Taos, the Taos Pueblo is a centuries-old community known for its multi-storied adobe structures.
Fathers in Taos Pueblo are deeply involved in the building and maintenance of these adobe homes, ensuring that the architectural legacy is passed down through generations.
Picuris Pueblo
Situated to the southeast of Taos, near the town of Peñasco.
Picuris Pueblo fathers are known for their connection to traditional pottery making, teaching their children the art of creating intricate designs that tell stories of their heritage.
Jicarilla Apache
Residing primarily to the east of Taos, around the Jicarilla Apache Reservation in Dulce, New Mexico.
Jicarilla Apache fathers serve as spiritual leaders, guiding important ceremonies and rituals that connect the community to their ancestral spirits.
Navajo
Navajo Nation extends across parts of Arizona, Utah, and New Mexico, with the northeastern region of New Mexico being home to many Navajo families.
Navajo fathers are traditionally shepherds, teaching their families the care of sheep and the weaving of textiles, practices that hold deep cultural significance.
A Heartfelt Return to Roots
The owners of La Luna @ La Fonda have returned to Taos to embrace their roots and spend more quality time with family. They are dedicated to teaching their children about their rich heritage while offering our community unique and healthy food. Come and share in this heartfelt journey of family and tradition with us.
