About
During the 1850s, Spanish-surnamed settlers arrived on the lands of the Mexican Sangre de Cristo Land Grant in Southern Colorado. Lured by offers of individual lands and use-rights to resource-rich communal lands, these settlers ventured to the isolated, arid San Luis Valley, where they founded the community of San Luis. In this environment, they shaped a culture based upon communal land rights to a mountain they affectionately named "la sierra." This communal environmentalism provided the foundation for the community's political resistance.
