Salon El Zaguán | It’s Complicated: A Historical Overview of Pueblo Sovereignty & Land Claims in New Mexico
A talk by Sandra Mathews on Thursday, September 7, 2023 | 3pm MT | Zoom Webinar
Mathews will review the complicated nature of sovereignty and land tenure for New Mexico’s Pueblo Indians, starting with an exploration of Indigenous relationships with homeland, continuing with the Spanish and Mexican “land grant” era with its legal protections for settled Indian communities, and then shifting to the commodity-/grid-based land tenure system of the United States where officials ignored customary law that had ruled for centuries.
