El Ente – Lente
A Family History and Their Lands from Paleography
A journey and discovery of four generations of a Native American Family and their relationship to one another. A timeline of events involving the Lente family from Isleta and San Clemente, lands, neighbors and political officials.

Ruby Niner – An independent researcher, grew up in Los Lentes and Los Lunas where her parents and grandparents were also raised. Ruby began researching her ancestry as a promise to her grandmother. The discovery of her ancestors lead to an overwhelming interest to learn more about the small villages, when and how the villages were named and the connection of the people. Some of the stories she grew up listening to, hearing from others, and history written lead to pursue what was fact or myth. Using first source documents as a method to stay as reliable as the written history can provide.

This program is free and open to the public.
