In this talk, you will dive into the two international treaties where the United States protects the property rights of Mexicans and Native Americans living in a region of North America that once belonged to Mexico in the 1800s. The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo and the Gadsden Purchase have proven difficult to provide important constitutional guarantees. Historian Michael Brescia will explain the difficult historical and legal issues involved in certain disputes in AZ and the West over natural resources. The impact of Spanish colonialism and U.S. expansionism on North America will be focused on as well in discussing this topic.
