Reies Tijerina, in full Reies Lopez Tijerina, (born September 21, 1923, Fall City, Texas, U.S.—died January 19, 2015, El Paso, Texas), American radical and civil rights activist who led a land-grant movement in northern New Mexico from 1956 to 1976. Dubbed “King Tiger” and “the Malcolm X of the Chicano Movement,” Tijerina organized hundreds of Chicanos to demand repatriation of land confiscated by Anglo surveyors in violation of the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. During the mid-1960s Tijerina gained international attention and expanded his campaign against discrimination, demanding first-class citizenship, economic opportunity, and the right to speak Spanish and preserve Chicano culture.
