Description

Struggles over land and water have made up our minds much of New Mexico’s long history. The outcome of such disputes, especially in colonial times, incessantly depended on which party had a strong advocate to argue a case before a local tribunal or on appeal. This book is partly concerning the advocates who represented the parties to those disputes, but it’s most of all concerning the Hispanos, Indians, and Genízaros (Hispanicized nomadic Indians) themselves and the land they lived on and fought for.

Having written about Hispano land grants and Pueblo Indian grants one by one, Malcolm Ebright now brings these narratives together for the primary time, reconnecting them and resurrecting lost histories. He emphasizes the success that advocates for Indians, Genízaros, and Hispanos have had in achieving justice for marginalized people in the course of the return of lost lands and by reestablishing the appropriate to make use of those lands for traditional purposes.
