My home state New Mexico. I have lived in Deming, Santa Rita, Animas Valley, Lordsburg, Las Cruces, and Silver City. One might say that I am a southern New Mexico girl. I learned from these places to appreciate a multicultural environment. Thank you New Mexico for lessons which are a part of me.

Hi! I was raised in Hillsboro. I'm back in Sierra County after living in Albuquerque for 29 years.

[@kevinstephenson3880]

Forever home. I hope to return someday. Living now in neighboring Arizona. Two states geographically next to each other, yet so very different. I'd take New Mexico ANY DAY!

My paternal grandfather worked the copper mines. He also owned and operated a small store, and served as sheriff. He's buried in a small family plot near his old home in Fayville. My maternal grandfather was a horse breeder and rancher near Silver City. His place is now part of the Little Walnut. The house my mother was born and raised in still stands.

Hello Oscar.

[@glenncordova4027]

It was nice to see old pictures of New Mexico. I was born here in the 1960s so this brings back memories. New Mexico is still a big producer of oil, natural gas, cattle, sheep and cotton. We were once the biggest producer of potash in the world but no more. Most hard rock mining is gone. Coal production is also declining fast even though we have huge reserves. Wind power, solar power and cheap and abundant natural gas are making it history.

[@diane4537]

@@Toydominic My family was from Pinos Altos and Santa Rita, I loved Santa Rita! My great grandfather who's name along with his father was in Fort Sumner prisoners of war of the U.S. military at that time. He had an adobe house in Santa Rita, I loved Santa Rita but never have been to Pinos Altos where my great grandmothers were from! As a child I never knew that I played on ground that Mangas, Geronimo, and Cochise stood! Santa Rita was destroyed by a mining company! Gone forever. :( Imagine they allowed this to happen?)

[@Toydominic]

Diane. Sorry to hear that but I really love that story I’ve never to Santa Rita it it sound amazing

[@diane4537]

@@Toydominic What I remember about Santa Rita was it had a very pleasant aroma in summer. There was a little long ravine in front of my great grandfather's home, not very far from the house, not real deep but I loved walking down to it where there were trees and as a child I would play there! It was so pleasant! In winter, Santa Rita had a very unique aroma again. The snow gave it that pleasant smell! I always wanted to take my children to Santa Rita but they destroyed that wonderful and unique place! If you ever see the movie The Outlaw (Howard Hughes produced it) it kind of reminds me of Santa Rita!

[@kevinstephenson3880]

I miss my beloved New Mexico! Grew up in Albuquerque and have traveled the state extensively. The climate, culture and the people are the reason to visit. It's laid back way of life and incredible weather and the best region for food is the reason to stay. I now reside in Glendale, Arizona; Not by choice but out of necessity. New Mexico has never been a place to find a well paying job that provides a good standard of living. For that reason, I moved to the Phoenix area for employment. I'd love to return there permanently some day but for now.......... The Arizona desert is where I live. New Mexico will ALWAYS BE HOME!! I return often to visit and sure miss breathing that clean air, looking up to the clear blue skies and enjoying my favorite New Mexican restaurant.

clearly, new mexico is the most sacred location in the US, letalone the western world... Quite frankly, I cant say that the Aztecs got this kind of value nor themayans, ..Another thing this is the only spot of the western civilization where 5 temperal climates can be found within a spand of 700 miles. Its noticeably One within a Great Spirit. They call Him Grandfather, but to the settling nation, He is God.

@cagonesss He discovered america for europe, using your method we cant say we are discovering planets, since they are already there.

[@cybergata]

The Pueblo people made corn tortillas before Columbus. They got wheat to make breads in hornos from the early Europeans. This film is great for the photos, but it is so full of cultural bias. I have to laugh at some of the mistakes in this film. The Basket Shop originally was the post office as it is in this film. In fact it was a post office still in the 1970s.
