AMT391-New Mexico Water Rights Fight | As a Man Thinketh

In Episode 391 of As a Man Thinketh, Yanasa TV takes you to the high desert rangelands of northern New Mexico, where rancher Lucia Sanchez is caught in a legal and cultural battle over water access and private property rights.


A recent ruling by the New Mexico Supreme Court opened previously private streams to public access—sparking outrage among ranchers who see it as a violation of generations-old land stewardship. Is this state-sanctioned trespass, or a rightful reclaiming of public waters?


This episode explores the legal stakes, emotional toll, and larger implications for the West.
