Photo of descendants of Hispanic land grant holders at a gathering at Taylor Ranch, 1981

Pictured are land rights leaders Apolinae Rael (3rd from right), co-founder of the Land Rights Council of the San Luis and lead plaintiff in the earlier court cases, and Juan LaCombe (3rd from left). The gathering at the ranch was part of the decades-long battle between the land grant holders, who claimed rights to access and use the land at Taylor Ranch for water, hunting, grazing, and firewood.
