[@lucascritchfield]

Thank you for your clear and in-depth presentations. You are helping me expand my knowledge of NM history, most of which I learned from my uncle Francisco Sisneros (Hispanic Genealogical Research Center of New Mexico) as he sought to help us understand who we are as a people. I look forward to your next one!

[@robmartinez7517]

Cool! I knew Francisco, a great man and a great researcher!

This history makes it even more curious as to why people in northern New Mexico view themselves as Spanish not Mexican, very unlike southern New Mexico.

[@robmartinez7517]

It is strange, rooted in becoming a state and being perceived as more European.

Normal, los del norte de Río Grande no se independizaron de España, fueron los Mexicanos los que se independizaron de España.😊

Amazing lecture I could listen to you all day! You are a true treasure to our culture & people. I love identifying as Mexicano from Nuevo México. I can remember my grandparents on both sides saying Mexicano. I feel like our culture is more Mexicano than from Spain. Either way its all good. I think New Mexicans subconsciously want to be white/European so they call themselves Spanish. lol

Father country. Spain is my fatherland, not my motherland. You definitely have speak in ways that I would expect someone from a modern English speaking country to speak. It's very feminine. No offense, just an observation.

[@robmartinez7517]

No offense taken. Your avatar image is of a man wearing a wig, so I suppose we both have our "feminine" attributes, right?

You wear your bias as a badge. I am mixed German and original settled Spanish New Mexican. Great grandmother was a Valdez. You have a different tone when speaking about American occupation and take over compared to Spanish occupation and take over. To be clear I don’t care about either. No culture is innocent of that sin. We have all been the conquered and conquerer. I just don’t like the subtle tone you inject when speaking about the American take over. We would not be better off as true Mexican nationalists.

[@ochervelvet9687]

Perception is subjective. I too am of Spanish and German descent. I don’t hear a pejorative bias when Mr. Martinez speaks of the Americanization of New Mexico. To me, he gives a pretty balanced look at the benefits and disadvantages of all the successive waves that have engulfed this land.
