  • Did they ever get there land back?

  • Los Mejicanos deverian centirse orgulloso de este lider pero lamentablemente muy pocos saben de este gran lider mi gran respeto por este lider que nadie sabe o muy pocos han leido de este gran lider

  • This is what we.need.more .of in schools

  • Both of my parents are from Northern New Mexico. I was born there as well. They both were from families of position and privilge.My fathers family had recieved land from the governor that extended from Abiquiiu, where Georgia O'keefe lived, to just north of Albuquerque. That was roughly 200 square miles! It is mostly National Forest now, and some small towns. Gallina, Youngsville, Canones, Cuba, Coyote. But, it was stolen from the natives, then stolen from us. Past history. Get over it.

  • My Mother's family is from the neighboring village of La Puente, NM. I remember the court house raid well. I was a little boy at the time and we were in La Puente during the few days that the Alianzas stood up.

    Reies Lopez Tijerina is less than an honorable person trying to represent very honorable people.

    The truth of the matter is that the United States violated terms of Guadalupe Hidalgo.

    We didn't cross the border, the border crossed us!

  • Your a fucking ignoramus. Worse- you don't know your history. Further-- To whom are you referring when you say "ours now". "Our" as in American citizens? Or ours meaning white trash, inbred, illiterate, retards. Just checking.

  • "Property of every kind

    Shall be inviolably respected..

    And all Mexicans shall enjoy guarantees..

    As if they were citizens of the United States."

    -Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo 1848.-

  • Your idiocy is only bested by your iggnorance. Gp back to Texas!

  • Your an idiot. You must be from Texas

  • Wow... real Intelligent
