Traditional ranching heritage and cultural continuity in the southwestern United States
Introduction This study, conducted among ranchers on the Santa Fe and Carson National Forests in the Southwestern United States, examines the role of ranching in maintaining traditional heritage and cultural continuity. The mainly Hispanic ranching families of northern New Mexico first came into the region in 1598 with Spanish colonization. Many of the villages received community land grants from the King of Spain and later from the Mexican government. After US acquisition in 1848 , many communities lost communal range and woodlands from their land grants. Much of the lost grant land eventually came under federal management.
