As a New Mexican going back to our “Spanish “ founding - thus far no one seems to address the “ elephant” in the room that is our mundane history . Did Spain , and later for a brief time, Mexico FOUND this three basic establishments in order for the descendants ( us/me) /you of the founding families of New Mexico to grow thrive and advance beyond our “ heritage “ ? Number 1- schools , but specifically those of higher education : None, the First collage - New Mexico State University (NMSU) was founded in 1888 as Las Cruces Collage , making it the FIRST collage in New Mexico. Number 2- Banks/financial institutions. NONE : The First Bank National Bank of Santa Fe began operations in 1871, the bank was established in 1870. Number 3 - Hospitals- NONE, The FIRST hospital was St Vincent Hospital and Orphanage, established in 1865 by the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati (Ohio) . Note- Background - Mexico sold New Mexico to the United States as part of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo , which was signed on February 2, 1848. ( Also reference- The Gadsden Purchase , 1853-1854). The “ pride” we Nuevo Mexicanos can have is the resiliency and hard working European ethic ( mostly Spanish on the paternal side ) and almost 100% Indigenous on our Maternal side, we have inherited , through ( Blood, Sweat and Tears) .

I had a teacher in the 2 nd grade from new mexico and her last name was Martin this was back in 1981

Sr. Martínez

Much love, thank you for everything you teach! And i like your music as well... New Mexico Made, Zia Strong 💪

The key was that in order to attack Spain and its enormous influence in Europe and the world, for spreading Catholicism, the Protestants did not care, and do not care, about anything, whether true or invented. Spain is denied bread and salt when they, the Anglo, French, Dutch, Belgian, gringos, etc. were terribly more genocidal, plunderers, and have much more to be ashamed of in their history, but they come to give moral lessons to others so as not to dig into and cover up their many dirty laundry. They have been lying for 500 years about Spain, its history and the Spanish people to defend the indefensible, to cover up their genocides, robberies, their pirates (starting with the English monarch and the admiralty who shared in the loot in greater proportion than the pirate himself and his crew), the genocides and barbarities they committed in the 13 colonies, Tasmania, Australia, India, Bermuda, Jamaica, the Bahamas, the British Virgin Islands, China, Africa, the slave trade, etc. etc. But, thus, while they defame Spain with distortions and lies, they are not judged for having done things a thousand times worse and a thousand times more harmful. Estamos hasta los mismísimos huev.. que vengan los sectarios anglos a darnos clase de historia leyendanegrista, tergiversada, cuando no directamente inventada, con sus difamaciones y falsedades. La clave fue que para atacar a España y su enorme influencia en Europa y el mundo, por difundir el catolicismo, a los protestantes les valió, y les vale, todo, sea cierto o inventado. A España se le niega el pan y la sal cuando ellos, los anglos, franceses, holandeses, belgas, gringos, etc. fueron terriblemente más genocidas, expoliadores, y tienen mucho más de que avergonzarse en su historia pero vienen a dar lecciones de moral a los demás para no hurgar y tapar sus muchos trapos sucios. Llevan 500 años mintiendo sobre España, su historia y los españoles para defender lo indefendible, tapar sus genocidios, robos, sus piratas (empezando por el monarca inglés y el almirantazgo que participaban en el botín en mayor proporción que el propio pirata y su tripulación), los genocidios y barbaridades que cometen en las 13 colonias, Tasmania, Australia, la India, Bermudas, Jamaica, Bahamas, Islas Vírgenes Británicas, China, Africa, el comercio con esclavos, etc etc Pero, así, mientras difaman a España con tergiversaciones y mentiras no se les juzga a ellos que hicieron cosas mil veces peores y mil veces más dañinas.

My Great great grand parents had 8 sections of land in Lincoln County and the Government took it from them because they couldn’t pay property taxes anymore after they lost most of their sons in WW1 and WW2.

Saludos desde España. Me gustó el vídeo. Aunque no pueda compartirlo todo. La Hispanidad no es sólo España. La Hispanidad va más allá. Los mismos españoles somos la mezcla de decenas de pueblos, incluyendo a los americanos que hicieron el camino inverso. Los españoles de entonces no hacían distinción de tu lugar de nacimiento, siempre que fueras católico. La misma Reina Isabel la Católica aboga porque los españoles se casen con los nativos americanos. Un mestizo podía llegar a las más altas instancias. Una persona negra podía incluso ser catedrático en la universidad de Granada en el siglo XVI. A América (el continente) va gente de todo el Imperio Español, que incluía Nápoles, Sicilia, Cerdeña, partes del norte de Europa, Portugal, Filipinas (que formaba parte de la Nueva España), … y de otros pueblos que veían España como una oportunidad de prosperar. La historia de España es la historia de la primera globalización.

Amigo, no eran colonias, eran provincias. Como historiador deberías tener bien claro ese concepto.

The encomiendas were abolished by the Spanish king Charles 1st in 1542. No new encomiendas were allowed and the existing ones would disappear when the existing encomenderos died. The King passed this Laws because he knew that Native Americans were often abused, since he received complains from people like Bartolomé de las Casas. Of course I do not know if these laws passed by the king were obeyed by the Vicerois of Nueva España. What I mean is that the Spanish Crown cared for the Native Indians, and they were considered Spanish citizens from the beginning. Some years ago I felt really ashamed of Spanish history, but lately, the more I know, the more I like what I learn. The Spanish were definitely not the worst.... Maybe I am wrong and too biased towards the "white legend" but this is how I feel.... Congratulations on your videos, If I ever go to the United States, I will go to New Mexico, and enjoy the Fiesta!!!!

When Spain poblated NM, the people that did it had very clear instructions to respect the indigenous people, even The queen Isabel stated it in her testament, obviously some people ignored the laws, but it was not the norm. This is from 1504, it is documented and kept. XI. También mando que en cuanto que el Papa nos concedió las Islas y Tierra Firme del Mar Océano descubiertas y por descubrir [América y las islas cercanas], y como fue mi intención procurar, inducir y atraer a los pueblos que las pueblan a la fe católica, y enviar a las Islas y Tierra Firme prelados y religiosos y clérigos y otras personas doctas... para instruir a los moradores de aquellas tierras en la fe católica, y enseñarles buenas costumbres. A demás suplico al rey mi señor muy afectuosamente, y encargo y mando a la princesa, mi hija, y al príncipe, su marido, que así lo hagan y cumplan, y que esto sea su principal fin y en ello ponga mucha diligencia, y que no consientan ni den lugar a que los indios, vecinos y moradores de las Indias y Tierra Firme, ganadas y por ganar, reciban agravio alguno en sus personas ni bienes, antes al contrario que sean bien y justamente tratados, y si han recibido algún agravio que lo remedien y provean para que no se sobrepase en cosa alguna lo que en las cartas apostólicas de dicha concesión se mandaba y establecía.

US apoliticians and corruption, who could have guessed.

Do we know how many Martin-Serrano families their were? Because if my family tree is correct the name pops up quite a bit on my grandmother’s paternal & Maternal sides.

The Spanish empire territories were governed locally, contrary to what you mention as colonies, Spain did not have colonies, at least not what is generally understood as colonies, like the British, French and Dutch had, the Spanish empire was a totally different animal, much more complex and colorful.

I would not call it colonial period as Nuevo México was not a colony, it was an integral part of the Spanish empire, although not 100% defined in extensions.

We call these stories, “cuentos de viejas”.

Up to the independence of Mexico from Spain, in the early 19th century, 60% of people of what is now Mexico spoke their own languages, only 40% spoke Spanish, that changed drastically after independence.

Soon after the US stole the territories, they killed all the Indian tribes, but always blame Spain.

Es gracioso ver como un negrolegendario de libro, como este tal Rob, nos explica la leyenda negra.

Menuda sarta de inexactitudes y mentiras. Este señor trata de explicar temas de identidad que ni siquiera comprende. Confunde los llamados cuadros de castas que expresaban el intenso mestizaje de Hispanoamérica con un sistema jurídico clasificatorio con propósitos discriminatorios. Es de risa. Nunca existió tal "sistema de castas" en Hispanoamérica sino mestizaje intencionado y promovido por la corona católica española, (algo que nunca existió en el mundo racista de USA). La esclavitud de los nativos estaba expresamente prohibida por las leyes españolas. Lo que quisiera hacer este señor es trasladar al mundo hispano el racismo institucional anglosajón. Este tal Rob es un ignorante o un abyecto difamador, ¡Viva la Hispanidad!

do yo have a book

In the US their Spanish heritage is hidden under the carpet, and preferably ignored or denied.

We are related

I was thinking of a comment but what kept coming to mind is, absolutely badass! Thanks, Rob.

I wanna be free Like the bluebirds flying by me Like the waves out on the blue sea If your love has to tie me Don't try me, say good-bye I wanna be free...

Missing thee New Mexico history 😢 love thee music ❤

Beautiful!

Beautiful music Rob! ~~~ You are sOOoo talented! 🤗🎵🎶

I've always loved this song but I love it even more with your amazing voice. <3

Great points raised! In a way, we share a common sense of history, having been once under Spain and then under the US, although of course, we are independent already. But even here in the Philippines, the Leyenda Negra is still strong and there is an almost knee-jerk reaction to treat anything Hispanic as negative. However, there has been a noticeable shift among a small portion of the population that is trying to learn Spanish once again and review our Hispanic heritage, especially driven by the need for workers who can speak both English and Spanish that are outsourced by US companies to local companies. Anyway, kudos, perhaps one day we can have a collaboration to talk about our similarities and differences in experience, saludos desde Filipinas!

Great video! Thanks for mentioning the Philippines in your video by the way. Well, we Filipinos who still speak Spanish here will have a different accent as well, we wouldn't think your accent would be strange. Our own Spanish has a lot of indigenous borrowings as well, plus we tend to code-switch a lot between English and Spanish (or our other local languages), so even as late as late 19th century, new arrivals from Spain would have had difficulty understanding Filipino Spanish as well. Cordiales saludos desde Filipinas!

I am from Rociada and I always found it strange how Pendaries Village and its attitude made its way into our quiet valley until I recently read about how Pendaries himself was one of the land grabbers who put up the fencing on communal pastures deeded to Hispanos. The Las Vegas Optic called the fence-cutters "a mob of lawless Mexicans", and I have never been more proud to hear a piece of history and inspired to share it with others. The Pendaries Village website says, "the Pendaries ranch became the center of Rociada agriculture, operating a flour grist mill, a commissary store, and a post office"; my family still raises cattle in Upper Rociada and that sentence infuriates me. I will continue watching these videos - your passion for sharing this/your knowledge is appreciated!

This is my favorite song that you've ever written! Just brilliant man!

Wonderful perspective about what the Black Legend looks like. But it is missing keypoing over his final considerations about the benefits and extension about what the Spanish Empire did. I suggest anyone looking for more to take a look to "Pax Hispánica" channel, and also to this playlist "🧠🇪🇸 Hispanismo Global (Spanish Empire/Imperio Español - "Plus ultra" en América)" (the first 6 videos are especially good information) where I have an extensive collection of videos about this topic (many of them in Spanish, from Hispanic sources, which I'm pretty sure are not know to Anglo people; use autogenerated subtiles, they're good enough).

Thank you for the fascinating history. Happy to have discovered your videos. I look forward to delving into them with interest.

Thank You So Much! I understand everything you said! I'm so tired of people who are new here in N.M. always telling mean I speak incorrectly. I speak what I learned from my parents and what they learned from their s and so on. Again Thank You.

I will be there😊

Mr. Martinez is correct in saying that many documents pertaining to NM history can be found in Parral, Chihuahua, however, he did not mention that all church records were kept by the Archdiocese of Durango, called La Nueva Vizcaya. All those documents can now be found in microfiche at the Branson Library at New Mexico State University.

Maria Estafana Martin Santisteven is my fourth great grandmother. My grandparents are from Taos. We love going there when we can. Thank you sharing this information.

Thank you for this information. My family owned a substantial amount of a NM town and I really am interested in figuring out how they acquired so much land and how far this goes back in my family history. Your video is excellent, I appreciate your time.

In Denver in like 2004 they had an event where they brought together Corky Gonzales, Russell Means, Gutierrez and Reyes one last time. Reyes still spoke with power and authority. It was an honor to meet him

Left over big fingers small phone. I taught history for 39 years.

Rob retired history teacher. Really enjoy your videos. My family is from Sicily and we fry our let our pasta. I truely love it.

Man, you've been on fire lately. Wonderful!

Another EXCELLENT song Rob.. You are incredibly talented!!! 🎵🎶🎸

I’m an Armijo, all from NM and am here to learn more. Thank you.
