We Norteños here in northern New Mexico have a wonderful word: querencia, the place where we are at our best. A place from where we draw strength. A place where we know exactly who we are. For a lot of us it means home in the deepest sense of the word.

Daniel Herrera Wisdom Council, TiLT (Taos Initiative for Life Together)

Because my family has been here for so many hundreds of years, the querencia I feel for the Taos Valley is intense. What’s happening in Taos now, left me with a sense of urgency to form La Coalición. I wanted to bring together like-minded newcomers, generational families, and native Taoseños to work together to preserve what’s here and to protect it.
