In the early 20th century, Taos Pueblo petitioned the federal government to regain Blue Lake, but their requests were denied. Attempts to prevent Taos ceremonies at Blue Lake were included in the government's attempts to assimilate Indigenous peoples into mainstream American culture. The Department of Agriculture therefore denied requests to set aside land at Blue Lake for the Taos Pueblo to perform ceremonies, claiming that it was "foreign to the policies of the Department of Agriculture, when once some land has been set aside as a National Forest, to allow it to be withdrawn completely and donated to a private purpose." </p><p>In 1965, the Association on American Indian Affairs published a booklet called <i>The Blue Lake Appeal</i> in order to garner support for requests to return Blue Lake through the Indian Claims Commission (ICC). The ICC then concluded that Taos Pueblo's land had been illegally obtained and no proper amends had been made to rectify it, suggesting a monetary award as compensation. Taos Pueblo refused a monetary settlement, leading to a deliberation in Congress to return Blue Lake back to the tribe. When the bill was deadlocked in Congress, the Taos Pueblo brought their case to <a href="/wiki/Richard_Nixon" title="Richard Nixon">President Richard Nixon</a>, who pushed their request through Congress in 1970, returning the Blue Lake to <a href="/wiki/Taos_Pueblo" title="Taos Pueblo">Taos Pueblo</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In October 1966, the <a href="/wiki/Alianza_Federal_de_Mercedes" title="Alianza Federal de Mercedes">Alianza Federal de Mercedes</a>, an organization dedicated to the restoration of certain land grants entrenched in the 1848 <a href="/wiki/Treaty_of_Guadalupe_Hidalgo" title="Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo">Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo</a> to descendants of then-Mexican citizens, occupied the Carson Forest's <a href="/wiki/Echo_Amphitheater" title="Echo Amphitheater">Echo Amphitheater</a> in an attempt to create a land grant community.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The occupants were evicted, after five days, for overstaying camping permits.
