Treaty Of Guadalupe

Activist returns to San Luis

SAN LUIS — More than four decades after he led a raid on a northern New Mexico courthouse, Reies Lopez Tijerina visited the home of Colorado's most famous land-rights battle Friday.

  Once hunted by the New Mexico National Guard, the elder statesman of the effort to restore access to Hispanic land grants welcomed well-wishers and activists who leaned in past the security detail of Brown Berets to touch, hug and whisper their thanks to the man.

  Tijerina, now 84, didn't start the push by locals to gain access to the 77,000-acre tract of land that was part of the Sangre de Cristo land grant used to lure Hispanic settlers to the area in the mid-1800s.

  Jack Taylor, the North Carolina timber man who bought the property and fenced out locals in 1960, did that.

  But many of those present credited Tijerina for providing the inspiration to stick with their fight.

  "I felt so emotional," said Emilio Lobato Jr., who leaned in for his own talk with Tijerina at the end of the day. "I told him we were not great heroes but we made up our minds we were going to fight injustice." 

  Lobato, 74, first clashed with Taylor in 1960 over a road that led to Lobato's property and would go on to be a plaintiff in the 1981 lawsuit that would eventually restore community rights to the land grant.

  The fight for the land grant occasionally became violent such as in 1960 when three teenagers were badly beaten for venturing on to Taylor's land.

   The episode, which briefly landed Taylor in the county jail, also marked Tijerina's first visit to San Luis.

  "I had the joy of seeing Mr. Taylor in jail," the former preacher said in his booming bass voice.

  Pete Espinoza, who met Tijerina for the first time Friday, was a cousin of the three who were beaten.

  Espinoza, who was also an original plaintiff and was the first to get a gate key to the land grant, showed Tijerina the key, which is now framed.

  "Today was one of the highlights of my life," said Espinoza. "We fought the same cause." 

  Tijerina, who was introduced Friday by one New Mexico activist as a "lawyer without books," recalled the informal legal education that took him through the Vatican and Spanish colonial documents and laid the basis for the land grants.

  He also pointed to the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which ended the Mexican-American War and included the U.S. pledge to honor the land rights of former Mexican citizens.
