La Tules lived in Santa Fe on the eve of American occupation of the Mexican Southwest. She ran a casino when women were not supposed to  engage in gambling. She was a rough, tough, and wealthy woman, wielding significant influence in Santa Fe. Dr. Esquivel-King will argue that she represents the intersection of American and Mexican culture.
