When my husband and I moved here we soaked up the history like a sponge. I can tell you this state has the most colorful, romantic, and interesting history than any state in the Union.
My fathers family came from Castille in 1584, my mothers in 1598, my great grandfather was a Navajo adopted to be an heir of the land of my great great grandfather on my mothers side of the family. I love my land of Nuevo Mexico.
My uncle, senator Tom Benavides traced our family's lineage back to Royal Spain. We then mixed with the indigenous races of New Mexico. We, our family, was presented with a wine from Spain to recognize our family's contributions to the Spanish crown. I love Albuquerque although, I personally was born in Denver I was raised in Albuquerque and know it as home. No matter how far I travel I know that Albuquerque will always be home to me. I guess that's probably how the Conquistadors felt when they had been driven away by the Pueblo revolt. It's said out here that once you lay your eyes on the Sandia Mountains you will always recognize this place as home.
todos los que somos burqueños decendientes de mexicanos y espanoles sabemos que el nombre original de la ciudad del duke fue albuRquerque y ya despues que fue annexado por los gringos fue cambiado el nombre y le quitaron una letra (R) porque no podian pronunciarla. #arrivaalbuRquerque #arrivanuevomexico #arrivalaraza
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.

I was born here in 1960, the son of LDS pioneers on both sides. I love the old culture. One of my earliest memories was watching the Hopi snake dance in Santa Fe sitting on my Dad's shoulders.
Really cool documentary. I was born in New Mexico and my family moved away shortly after so I never really got to experience the state. It seems very interesting and historically rich.
Qué emocionante comprobar que la huella española sigue presente en aquellas lejanas tierras de belleza incomparable. ¡Enhorabuena por el reportaje! Saludos.
I know so many people with these last names "Romero, Ulibarri, Martinez, Chavez" and even "C de Baca" (Cabeza de Vaca)... y mas. Gracias Albuquerque .. gentes amables.
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?
My ancestors came wiith Onate as soldiers and also drove the cattle and horses. This was the first cattle drive in the U.S. Coronado and others had driven cattle on their expeditions but it was only as a food source. Onate also started the first ranches. If the gringos had done this we'd never heard the end of it! Unfortunately the hispanics don't even care about their cowboy and ranching culture. Most of them don't even know about this. Too bad!

@@anamalinallixgutierrezsisn1574 I'm very proud of my 25% First Americans blood. My maternal ancestors have been in Alburquerque for over 300 years. The other 75% is primarily Spanish.
I'm a proud burqueno. I loved hearing stories about how the city grows. I grew up in the heights. But my daughter grew up in the north valley. I love the river, the Bosque, and the history of this place. I hate the crime and drug culture that has infested this place. The secular progressive culture that has moved into this place is destroying it.
It feels like watching a little piece of old Spain. I didn't know people in the USA remember their Spanish heritage with so much passion. I would love to visit this city at least once in my life and talk with these people. Greetings from Madrid, Spain. EDIT: native americans and spaniards fighting together like brothers and sisters. I would like to watch a film based on these events.

Beautiful M E X I C A N heritage. The Southwest (Northwest to us) is the result of the mixture of Hisatsinom (Pueblo), Comanche, Mesoamerican, and Spanish cultures. The result is the culture and people of Nuevo Mexico.
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.
Wonderful Job~! PS: For Those Who Were Not Spending Wooden Nickels While Living In Albuquerque During Her 250 Anniversary, The Town Was Named After The Duke Of Alburquerque. So This Young Enthusiastic Scholar Is Spot On With His Pronunciation (And Knowledge) Of The Original Town.
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.

@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.
I dropped a friend in Albuquerque the same time Paul Allen and Bill Gates had a small startup there called MicroSoft. I had soldered boards with a microscope (hybrid circuits) and almost stay in Alb. instead of heading north. I have to wonder if Bill and Paul had STAYED in New Mexico and got MicroSoft off the ground and based there. NM would be a whole different story.
Some years ago I visited Albuquerque in route to California. I found this city very beautiful especially those adobe style buildings, the people highly friendly and the food good. The odd part of my three day stay was that there was a bomb threat at the bus station I arrived in, a young man wanted to sell me a girl, an Indian wanted to sell me some drugs, all the homes had thick bars on them but the supermarkets didn't know what shopping bags were. I'm from Chicago but the ABQ city had a lot more energy and vitality than my Chicago does! Nice place to visit but wilder than Chicago.
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..
Muy pocos españoles nacidos en España llegaron a New México. La gran mayoría de los blancos que poblaron New México eran mexicanos. Actualmente en Albuquerque y Santa Fe hay mucho racismo contra los mexicanos. La gran mayoría de los Hispanos de New México tienen la fantasía de que descienden de nobles españoles, y niegan su mestizaje Mexico-Español. La cultura y la personalidad de los pueblos importantes como Taos, Santa Fe, o Albuquerque, es más mexicana que española... y la influencia de las culturas indígenas, Navajo, Pueblo, Apache, también es muy importante.
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.
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

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.

The name Joseph Morano is not native american. It is Spanish. Given the time and tenisions, why would you suggest he is "native"? He is clearly european.
What year did New Mexico become part of United States? Until than it belonged to Mexico. Why isn’t this mentioned? It is talked about like it was no mans land, lol. 1830’s? Texas New Mexico Colorado Utah California Arizona Eight states
All these so-called Chicano/Mexican American activists/historical re-constructionists of today would erase anything cultural, historical and socio-religious that harks back to Spain or Spanish influence in the southwest, México or Latin America. Sorry, but the Spaniard is just as important to our heritage and who are as our indigenous ancestors are.
In future videos, you should make the commentartors clear by naming them on screen. Many people I disagreed or agreed wth bit could not look up elsewhere because they were not referenced in the video when they spoke... for example the "white" boy who suggested certain native groups raping other native groups. ther is no way for me to fact check that, especially given his anonimity.

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!! 🇪🇸 ✝️ ❤️
I dropped a friend in Albuquerque the same time Paul Allen and Bill Gates had a small startup there called MicroSoft. I had soldered boards with a microscope (hybrid circuits) and almost stay in Alb. instead of heading north. I have to wonder if Bill and Paul had STAYED in New Mexico and got MicroSoft off the ground and based there. NM would be a whole different story.
Some years ago I visited Albuquerque in route to California. I found this city very beautiful especially those adobe style buildings, the people highly friendly and the food good. The odd part of my three day stay was that there was a bomb threat at the bus station I arrived in, a young man wanted to sell me a girl, an Indian wanted to sell me some drugs, all the homes had thick bars on them but the supermarkets didn't know what shopping bags were. I'm from Chicago but the ABQ city had a lot more energy and vitality than my Chicago does! Nice place to visit but wilder than Chicago.
The New Mexico archives tell a little bit different story
Thank you! Very informative.
Outstanding.
I'm a direct descendant of Juan Gonzales Bas, the first mayor of Albuquerque.
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..
I live in Pawnee Oklahoma close to it I did iam from los Angeles CA
The songs are so literal
7:04 there were cars and motorcycles back then to
Muy pocos españoles nacidos en España llegaron a New México. La gran mayoría de los blancos que poblaron New México eran mexicanos. Actualmente en Albuquerque y Santa Fe hay mucho racismo contra los mexicanos. La gran mayoría de los Hispanos de New México tienen la fantasía de que descienden de nobles españoles, y niegan su mestizaje Mexico-Español. La cultura y la personalidad de los pueblos importantes como Taos, Santa Fe, o Albuquerque, es más mexicana que española... y la influencia de las culturas indígenas, Navajo, Pueblo, Apache, también es muy importante.
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.
They do it every one
So this explains why New Mexico is last in education
Great History
Parabéns pelo vídeo.

This video was so informative may God bless y'all
Is it true the New Mexico is older than Mexico? If so, how?? Was there an original "Mexico" in Spain?
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
Magnifico documental, los felicito

New Mexico was not a colony, Spain never had colonies,it was an integral part of the empire, where ALL were subjects to the king, and had RIGHTS.

SAVE A TACO FOR ME IM IN HURLEY NEW MEXICO
No Irish in the wood pile? ....
Crime City! Avoid.
I strongly wish you would put names under spreakers... there are some people who ar pro native and others anti native and some i agree with and some i disagree with and your vi88deo disallows politiical . contest by not naming names. I can't tell you " the dark haired guy around 32 minutes us full of it" because that isn't specific enough...
Robert Gardea should learn English
Don't flip people off! Wth?!
True.
Post more vids. I'm homesick and want more
save a taco for me yeha,from hurley new mexico
This is my home
and I'm okay with that
If you are planning to visit Albuquerque, don't. The crime is obscene and not friendly to tourists. No matter what part of town you are in, the whole city has been overrun with drugs, homeless, and gang activity.
You must have went to the wrong part of Albuquerque
Don't forget that original Spanish settlers became Mexicans long time before Anglos took the territory away from México in 1848.
1848.
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.

If this would be happening in 2019 some crazy SJW's would be boycotting this and throwing rocks 😥
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.
Buenos días,: la huella de la Madre España!!!
THe song chosen to sing at about 11 minute was a bad choice. That is one song we should let die. No one needs to think of such things. A king who wishes his daughter is his mysterious? Why do we make such song popular... SMH world...
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
Era tierra de mexicanos gran parte de mexico que le quitaron

It was a decent place to live and grow up but now political idiots are making moves that are deatroying the place also the mom and pops shops too. Sad when political issuse are worsen and criminals literally running around and the police force has lost all hope for their sake.
dude, interesting

The name Joseph Morano is not native american. It is Spanish. Given the time and tenisions, why would you suggest he is "native"? He is clearly european.
Could easily be a native person who was given a Spanish name. Without more information it's not really clear.
Also, hello Cait.
What year did New Mexico become part of United States? Until than it belonged to Mexico. Why isn’t this mentioned?
It is talked about like it was no mans land, lol. 1830’s?
Texas
New Mexico
Colorado
Utah
California
Arizona
Eight states
It became a state in 1912.
And I believe Native Americans were (finally) allowed to vote, I think, 1945, or 1948. Not sure.
Francisco
All these so-called Chicano/Mexican American activists/historical re-constructionists of today would erase anything cultural, historical and socio-religious that harks back to Spain or Spanish influence in the southwest, México or Latin America.
Sorry, but the Spaniard is just as important to our heritage and who are as our indigenous ancestors are.
In future videos, you should make the commentartors clear by naming them on screen. Many people I disagreed or agreed wth bit could not look up elsewhere because they were not referenced in the video when they spoke... for example the "white" boy who suggested certain native groups raping other native groups. ther is no way for me to fact check that, especially given his anonimity.
your redheaded and raciest lol. WTF is a native group. Everyone is clearly defined by there nations.And no nation had anything to do with peaceful hippies.
Migration to the ski runs.
Oh! You noticed Mr. Chavez said that.
WTF?! Hey Delgadina, my daughter. I want you as my lady. 🤮🤯
