Thank you for your kind words. This was, and is, one of my prouder projects - I learned so very much about the wonderful rich history of Albuquerque and the southwest. Glad you enjoyed it.
I loved this.. I love history.. I fell in love with it when I began homeschool with my 2 kids, who are now grown adult.. but I find myself searching the net for history of southwest New Mexico since that's where I was born & raise in Deming & Hachita. thanks for this great video :)
@tcmiles88 Your Welcome, My Family has been living in New Mexico for a 105 years and we hear stories from those days and even if we are established in New Mexico we feel that Vibe brought from those days and feel bad about it. Although i was born in an American state i still feel like i was born in Mexican Soil. Then to see my people get discriminated in their own land it is a big dissapointment. SALUDOS. Forever NEW MEXICO!
Thank you, Tom, for a job well done! I meet up with friends in Albuquerque once a year, where we base out of during our explorations of New Mexico. I will be sure to visit the museum and see your timeline during our time in your fair city! Patrick Kerber
Thank you for you kind words. I've done two more videos you might find interesting ... Mexican Immigration Through New Mexico and The Southwest, and Albuquerque Sunport at 70. All the best with you homeschooling.
I loved this video Tom. Especially interested in the Spanish settlers. When I was a child we were not allowed to call ourselves Mexican. If we did we were corrected and told we are Spanish. Now everyone says we're Mexican and they seem offended at the thought of anyone claiming to be Spanish.They feel we're trying to look down on them, which isn't true. For 50 years I was Spanish, now I'm Mexican they tell me. ha I wonder often what the truth is. I suppose it's lies in the middle somewhere.
Gwen Boucher I learned that the Spanish came to North America, West of the Mississippi in the early 1500s, before the English came to Plymouth in 1620. The Native Americans of the time had no resistance to the diseases that the Spanish brought them. One film I watched on UA-cam said that the diseases then killed up to 90% of the Native Americans. Then the survivors were imperilled again in the early 1800s. Sad, so sad.
Thanks for your comment. The same disease decimation accompanied Spain's 1400-1500's encounters to native populations in the Caribbean islands and Mexico, Central and South America. That it was unintentional did not make it any less devastating. You might also enjoy ua-cam.com/video/YfBQAb8_rO0/v-deo.html on Mexican Immigration in the Southwest.
I grew up in San Luis Valley, CO in the 40s-50s and remember being confused about the whole Mexican/Spanish thing. Lots of Hispanic friends throughout school, but I remember my uncle telling me to be careful of who I was seen on the street with - in a town of 1500 souls! It is a puzzlement not at all understood outside of the southwest and maybe Florida. You might enjoy one other video I've done, Mexican Immigration Through New Mexico and The Southwest. Thanks for watching and for your comments.
This is the first time I've ever heard an accurate portrayal of the history of New Mexico. Mexico declared its independence in 1821 and the people of New Mexico where Mexicans citizens for 38 years prior to that we were Spanish citizens. People talk about Mexicans as if they were a race of people. Before 1821 there were no Mexicans we were Spanish citizens and in fact Spanish Jewish in origin. I've been in genealogy work since the 1970s. And people keep on trying to change the history of this area. Now there is another lie being perpetrated by ancestry.com now for New Mexico we either have a Jewish DNA marker a we don't we don't have a percentage of our blood that is Jewish and the same goes for the rest of the DNA markers and whatever they give you is a best guest of a percentage of different ethnic backgrounds. The best way you can determine percentage of ethnicity is through genealogy. Which is long and arduous
