Reies Tijerina, in full Reies Lopez Tijerina, (born September 21, 1923, Fall City, Texas, U.S.—died January 19, 2015, El Paso, Texas), American radical and civil rights activist who led a land-grant movement in northern New Mexico from 1956 to 1976. Dubbed “King Tiger” and “the Malcolm X of the Chicano Movement,” Tijerina organized hundreds of Chicanos to demand repatriation of land confiscated by Anglo surveyors in violation of the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. During the mid-1960s Tijerina gained international attention and expanded his campaign against discrimination, demanding first-class citizenship, economic opportunity, and the right to speak Spanish and preserve Chicano culture.

atman means 'eternal self'. the atman refers to the real self beyond ego or false self. it is often referred to as 'spirit' or 'soul' and indicates our true self or essence which underlies our existence.

there are many interesting perspectives on the self in hinduism ranging from the self as eternal servant of god to the self as being identified with god. the understanding of the self as eternal supports the idea of reincarnation in that the same eternal being can inhabit temporary bodies.

the idea of atman entails the idea of the self as a spiritual rather than material being and thus there is a strong dimension of hinduism which emphasises detachment from the material world and promotes practices such as asceticism. thus it could be said that in this world, a spiritual being, the atman, has a human experience rather than a human being having a spiritual experience.
