Thank you for your appreciation of our history much love from a native New Mexican

I did the same when I moved to Nevada. The West is alive in History.

Who was your great great grandfather? Juan Gonzalez- Bas?

Yes my mmuM I Kim Kim

The Spanish Empire promoted intermarriage between native Americans and Spanish. This was legalized since 1521!

@@user-tm5em4vu7u yes and I'm fully proud of it too! mi tatarabuelo

Yea very strange and taboo. Cousins do that sometimes but father and daughter ?? Wow

Pedi a los productores que me dejaran pronunciarlo en el dialecto classico Nuevomexicano porque el publico se esta olvidando como pronunciarlo y los pocos que lo pronuncian bien tienen verguenza dicir Alburquerque en publico. Junto con eso, en solo 25 años se oye el cambio de alaMEEdah y "rio grand" de ala-meh-dah y Rio Grande.

Of course, Alburquerque, from Alburquerque, Badajoz, Spain

Muchos nombres geográficos han sido alterados por la carencia en el inglés escrito de ciertos signos de puntuación: La Española,NM lo escriben espanola; Cañada derivó en Canada, así como Montana originalmente era montaña.

Woop de doo.

This state also has the oldest European settlements and Churches in America.

@Derrick Bridges That's partially true: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nt1iqZRmkpbQc4E.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/brxlmNVp2J-Wh4U.html First video is a production from the second video describing New Mexico Spanish.

My great great grandfather's name is written with Onates on the Modo Rock in Santa Fe.

Ik a few to

My family on my dad's side is Duran, Greigo, my mom's side is Romero Baca. That's cool you mentioned 2 of those names. Have you heard of the Urioste last name?

ROMERO HERE

Is that you n the n box? lol

Wow! .welcome! Quess what! Pedro Robledo wad one of my ancesters from Spain, so were several others.

Thank you. I made it a point to the producer/director that people needed to hear the pronunciation in classical Nuevomexicano. No one should feel awkward saying it in public this way so I and I believed people needed affirmation in Spanish as I became aware fewer and fewer knew how it is pronounced. In just the past 25 years AlaMEEda and "rio grand" have also become widely spread mispronunciations.

No, not EVERY Chican@ of Burque thinks this - this is definitely an untrue statement! Long live the Genizaro Nation!

But Chicanos are colored. Spaniards are white.

C RMexican Heritage, how about just Meso-American and Spanish, which seems to be the two contributors to this culture

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the dominant Anglo-Americans relegated the Hispanics living in New Mexico to second-class social status, due to unfamiliarity and prejudice. Some of these "Anglos" were ethnocentric, deprecating Hispanic/Mexican culture and questioning the people's fitness for democracy. Some claim, in response, they constructed a "Spanish American" identity in an early instance of cultural citizenship (expressing Americanism through ethnic identity) Around 1920, the term "Spanish-American" replaced "Mexican" in polite society and in political debate. The new term served both the interests of both groups. For Spanish speakers, it evoked Spain, not Mexico, recalling images of a romantic colonial past and suggesting a future of equality in Anglo-dominated America. For Anglos, on the other hand, it was a useful term that upgraded the state's image, for the old image as a "Mexican" land suggested the violence and disorder associated with that country's civil war in the early 20th century. This had discouraged capital investment and set back the statehood campaign. The new term gave the impression that "Spanish Americans" belonged to a true "American" political culture, making the established order appear all the more democratic. New Mexico contributed some 17,000 men to the armed services during World War I. Thousands more from the state fought for the Allies during World War II. World War I gave the Hispanics the opportunity to demonstrate American citizenship by participating in the war effort. New Mexico proportionately suffered the loss of more servicemen than any other state in the nation in ww2. Their wartime contributions improved the conditions of minority citizenship for Nuevomexicanos but did not entirely eliminate social inequality.

Yup.

@@sierra5713 muy cierto saludos

​​@@sierra5713 You may be right, but I am still going to call myself Spanish and you can't stop me. PLVS VLTRA🇪🇸💪

Look at the credit at the end. The man with the guitar, Robert Martinez, is the current state historian. The credits do give the names of songs and singers. Hopefully you'll find what you're looking for.

Juan Gonzalez-Bas was my great great grandfather. My great granfather was Antonio, My grandfather was Herman and my father was Lorenzo. He was such an interesting man. The sole owner of the Alameda Land Grant! I own property in Corrales that once belonged to him. The plaque on the church I helped pay for that too. He's buried in Old Town. Hi Cuz..

Exacto hay vivían 60 mil personas y la mayoría eran indígenas e indígenas convertidos al cristianismo que vivían en los pueblos,misiones y ranchos creados por los padres nunca hubo tanos españoles en ese lugar.puede investigar las misiones de la zona i ver quién vivía en la zona.

@Robert Gardea Mexicans and Indians in the annexed territories faced a loss of civil and political rights, even though the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo promised American citizenship to all Mexican citizens living in the territory of the Mexican Cession. The U.S. government withheld citizenship from Indians in the southwest until the 1930s, although they were citizens under Mexican law. Mexican communities remained segregated de facto from and also within other U.S. communities, continuing through the Mexican migration right up to the end of the 20th century throughout the Southwest.

"Some claim...they constructed a "Spanish American" identity...of cultural citizenship. OK some claim. But founded by Spanish settlers many Spanish New Mexicans can trace both their paternal and maternal bloodlines to their Spanish origins. This Spanish "claim" is mostly from families in northern NM and Southern Colorado. For many of us the expression is a pure cultural and historical fact that has nothing to do with Americanism through ethnic identity.

We were under the Spanish empire for 223 years. Compare that to the Mexican period which was only 27 years. And we even revolted against Mexico in 1837.

Fu** all Anglos! Long live Hispanic people and culture!! Viva la Hispanidad!! 🇪🇸 ✝️ ❤️

You must have went to the wrong part of Albuquerque

we were named for the mexica and the city of mexico, its older in the sense that it was called nuevo mexico back in 1581 before the founding of the mexico empire or republic, at the time the viceroy of new spain

@@ismaela50 Thank you for that info. I was born in Texas but NM and AZ are really my fav states of the US. Can you go into some more detail please? What is the Mexica and when you say the city of Mexico, do you mean present day Mexico City?

@@AK-ic1yj After the spanish conquered mesoamerica (Mexica/aztec and the maya) they conquered their way north hoping to encounter similar riches thus naming the land after their most successful conquest the capital of the aztec tenochtitlan(known as the city of mexico since 1524)

@@AK-ic1yj of course this is an extreme simplification I absolutely love Spanish New Mexican history the history of my ancestors some key names to look up if interested are Alvar Nunez cabeza de vaca, Francisco Vázquez de coronado, Juan De Oñate, Diego De Vargas

You're right, lets re-write history in order to make it more to our liking.

Well they WERE Spanish after all.

I tried to be in control of what I narrated but the producers did the rest and I think they thought it was dance-y and showed some cultural "otherness" but I can't speak for them. I tell my student that the sociologist Emile Durkheim said that we need a little bit of deviancy to reaffirm what normal is.

I mean...she said no. I think the point of it was to reinforce the idea that incest is a sin against god

@Robert Gardea 😂😆😂 lol

Robert Gardea should learn English

Don't flip people off! Wth?!

True.

Entrada in Santa Fe has been destroyed.

Yes, my parents are from Cadíz and Pamplona. They had ancestors who came to New Mexico duirng the Spanish colonial times. Of course the entrada celebrated the slaying of indigenous peoples of the Americas, but it was still part of New Mexicans culture.

SJW's already did. They destroyed the Spanish statues and cancelled the Entrada and I'm seething even to this day.

27 years. It was Mexico for just a blip in time.

@@AlohaMonthlyMagazine Yea, right, but the country just changed its name when it got its independence. In esence, we can trace Mexican roots in NM history back to the 16th Century.

@@gatofelixloce6082 Sure, I can trace my American roots back to 1600s Nuevo Mexico too. Even long before that if including the Pueblo and Native Americans.

@@AlohaMonthlyMagazine By "American" you mean Mexican or Native American? Just remember: when "the Mayflower" landed with the first pilgrims, Santa Fe, the capital of the Territorio de Nuevo México was already founded (1610).

@@gatofelixloce6082 The Pueblo and Spanish settlers. They all lived along the Rio Grande from Taos down to near White Sands for 100s of years.

It became a state in 1912.

And I believe Native Americans were (finally) allowed to vote, I think, 1945, or 1948. Not sure.

Oh! You noticed Mr. Chavez said that.
