The Return of Blue Lake

The UNM-Taos Return of Blue Lake Library Guide is designed to offer resources and historical context for this momentous occasion in celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the return of Blue Lake to the Taos Pueblo people.

Individual Stories & Interviews

Many people were involved in the struggle to return Blue Lake to Taos Pueblo. We have highlighted a few here who were instrumental in the passing of H.R. 471 in Washington. Though these people have had a unique view into the political process, it should not be forgotten that the entire movement could not have happened without collective effort on the parts of many people, both in Washington and at Taos Pueblo.

Collected Resources

We would like to highlight two collections of statements surrounding the return of Blue Lake. We have linked to these resources within the pages of individuals.
