Dr. Gonzales will share the history of a 160 year-long land struggle in San Luis, Colorado. From the 1860s to the 1960s, the community defended its historic land rights through acts of resistance, fostering a culture of defiance. In 1960, facing its greatest challenge, a new generation of politically savvy activists emerged, forming the Land Rights Council in 1978. This group championed the cause—through coalition building, civil disobedience, and the courts—of cash-poor ranchers until 2002, when the Colorado Supreme Court upheld the community’s land rights, overturning decades of lower court rulings.

Presenter Dr. Nicki Gonzales, Professor of History and Vice Provost at Regis University, is a leading scholar of Chicano history and the American Southwest. A Denver native with deep roots in Southern Colorado and Northern New Mexico, she has preserved oral histories of Chicano Vietnam veterans and advanced public understanding of Latino and Chicano contributions to Colorado’s past. Appointed the first Latina Colorado State Historian in 2021, she also helped lead Denver’s Latino/Chicano Historic Context Study.
