 The
Chamizal Convention was a milestone in diplomatic relations between Mexico
and the United States in 1963. Chamizal National Memorial was established
to commemorate this treaty which resulted in the peaceful settlement of
a century-long boundary dispute between the neighboring countries. Far
more than mere acreage, Chamizal is an idea, a dynamic process, dedicated
to furthering the spirit of understanding and goodwill between two nations
that share one border. Utilizing the visual, literary and performing arts
as a medium of interchange, Chamizal serves as an open door to help people
better understand not only other cultures, but their own cultural roots
as well.
