Atrisco Heritage Foundation
Atrisco Heritage Foundation was created and is operated for the purposes of promoting and preserving the ancestral and cultural heritage for the community.
Last weekend’s Burning of the Kookoee was a powerful celebration of renewal, tradition, and community spirit. The Atrisco Heritage Foundation was proud to be one of the event sponsors, supporting this dynamic cultural experience that brings people together year after year.![]()

After the event, students in the Rio Grande Educational Collaborative (RGEC) afterschool program at Mission Elementary channeled their creativity by drawing their own Kookoee figures — capturing the spirit and imagination of the evening!![]()

We’re so grateful to Access and all the partners who made this event possible. Together, we keep our culture alive and thriving for the next generation. ❤️![]()
