Reies López Tijerina studied the old Spanish land grants to advocate for the land rights of the Mexican-American community in the American Southwest. He sought to restore these grants, which he believed were key to understanding historical land ownership and injustices faced by his community. Tijerina's research aimed to highlight the legal basis for reclaiming land lost to Anglo-American settlers and the government, fostering a sense of identity and empowerment among Mexican-Americans.
