Founded in Northern New Mexico in November 1969, La Academia de Aztlán grew out of conversations between various scholars, community members and activists. Its original title projected to the world the concept of an educational process that is dialogical. Aztlán reflected the spirit of nationalism among Indo-Hispanos. With the involvement of individuals whose orientation reflected a non-political, non-nationalistic view, the name was changed to La Academia de la Nueva Raza-translated to The Academy of the New Humanity. While centrally located in Dixon, New Mexico, La Academia had an office in San Antonio, Texas and membership and special projects in Brawley, California, El Paso, Texas, Las Cruces, New Mexico, and Phoenix, Arizona.
