 Collection
Identifier: MSS-654-BC

Scope and Content

The Reies Lopez Tijerina Papers document Tijerina's career as a Chicano activist in New Mexico with the bulk of the collection reflecting his activities from 1963-1978. Tijerina is most remembered for his June 5, 1967 raid on the Rio Arriba County Courthouse in Tierra Amarilla and the ensuing trial in which he defended himself to a 'not guilty' verdict.

The majority of the collection consists of the records of the land grant organization that he founded in 1963, the Alianza Federal de Mercedes (changed to Alianza Federal de Pueblos Libres in 1967). A large portion of the Alianza series (Boxes 1-31, see below) consists of Tijerina's FBI files and the Alianza membership files. Other notable sections are the People's Constitutional Party, the Poor People's Campaign, a large section regarding legal proceedings, an extensive collection of personal correspondence, a daily diary section spanning over twenty years (1974-1997), and a extensive newspaper section comprised of both rare newspapers and newspaper clippings.

The Tijerina papers are divided into twelve series:

Alianza Federal de Mercedes (1963-1983, Box 1-31) includes: the Alianza Organizational Records; Press Releases and Publications; and the Individual Memberships for NM (1963-1969) and Texas (1977-1978). This series also includes the FBI Files (1964-1980) gathered on RLT and the Alianza.

It also tells of Tijerina's own NM political party (People's Constitutional Party, 1968-70); his campaign for the office of NM Governor (Tijerina for Governor Campaign, 1968); and, general community organizing efforts. Finally, it reflects his work and interests after his prison term and pardon including: the Institute for the Research and Study of Justice (IRSJ, 1971-1976); the Brotherhood Awareness Conferences (1972-1976; the Primer Congreso Nacional de Tierra y Cultura (1972); and, La Casa de Israel (1984).

Biographical Information

Chicano land grant activist Reies Lopez Tijerina was born September 21, 1926 in Poth, Texas, to migrant workers Antonio and Erlinda Lopez Tijerina. Tijerina enrolled in the Latin American Bible School in Saspamco, Texas in 1944. He left the seminary in 1946 to pursue religious self-discovery.

1949-1950, Tijerina spent much time in the southwest and Mexico researching land grants. He relocated his family to New Mexico in 1957, continuing his land grant research. On February 2, 1963, La Alianza Federal de Mercedes (Federal Alliance of Land Grants) was founded, largely through Tijerina's efforts. La Alianza quickly became a radical organization. Occupation of the Echo Amphitheater campground near Abiquiu, and the June 1967 armed raid on the Rio Arriba County courthouse brought national attention and intense scrutiny to La Alianza, destabilizing its membership and significantly weakening its influence upon Hispanos in New Mexico. Tijerina, facing criminal charges relating to the courthouse raid, traveled to Washington D.C. in June 1968 to head the Mexican-American contingent at the Poor People's March. He also formed his own political party, the People's Constitutional Party, and attempted to run for governor of New Mexico, but was found ineligible.

Convicted on charges of criminal assault of a federal officer and the destruction of federal property, Tijerina served time in federal prison. Released in 1971, he was ordered to sever his association with the already weakened Alianza as part of a parole agreement. He incorporated the Institute for the Research and Study of Justice (IRSJ), a non-profit group that sought to research and study all aspects of justice. In 1983, he relocated his family to Coyote, New Mexico, where he began to focus on international issues such as millennialism, nuclear armament, the Holocaust, and Middle Eastern issues, especially the Palestinian and Israeli conflict.

Trials and tribulations from La Alianza days weighed heavily on Tijerina's family life. Two failed marriages and an arson fire in 1994 which destroyed Tijerina's Coyote home and extensive library were part of the price tag for his activism. By 1995, Tijerina relocated to Michoacan, Mexico, where he continued to speak out on indigenous land issues and a variety of international issues.

Reis Lopez Tijerina died at El Paso, Texas on January 19, 2015.
