To New Mexicans New Mexico is Not Just a State, it is a State of Mind.

Click on the image to make it larger

For Hispanic New Mexican's, northern New Mexico and southern Colorado is the homeland. A state of mind, regardless of where the boundaries are today. This is where our ancestors came to, created the culture that we adhere to. It is fair to say that New Mexico is New Mexicans where ever they are.

A great read is a book by Richard L. Nostrand titled "The Hispano Homeland". I quote from the back cover:

"The Hispano Homeland, Richard L. Nostrand examines historical geographical, and census documents and oral information to interpret the authentic Spanish American subculture surviving in northern New Mexico and southern Colorado. There the descendants of sixteenth century Spanish settlers exhibit clear cultural differences from other Spanish Speaking people of the Borderlands. Their interactions with Pueblo Indians, nomad Indians, Anglos and Mexican Americans combined with isolation in their particular natural and cultural environment, has given them a unique sense of place, a sense of homeland".

Mis Christmes, Begging for Goodies on Christmas Morn. In the New Mexico of the 1950's

La Sagrada Familia Catholic Church in Rowe, New Mexico

MIS CHRISTMES, MIS CHRISTMAS. That was the cry on Christmas morning in Rowe, New Mexico in the 1950's as kids went door to door asking for goodies. I do not know when the practice started nor when it ended, nor how general it was, but in Rowe, New Mexico in the 1950's it was great. After midnight mass you slept a bit, got up and ate and went out begging for goodies. Sorta like Halloween except no mischief and it was during the the morning of Christmas day.

There were few presents under the tree, if you had a tree. We used to have one but only lit the lights every now and then.

Mrs. Carlos (Maude) Creamer and Gumicenda Benavides had popcorn balls, mi madrina Teresita Archuleta had panocha. Others had candy cane, bischochitos, ginger snaps, fig newtons, apples, oranges. You never knew what you would get.

I wonder when it started and why? When did the practice die out?

A Five Generation Chart for my Cousin

A five generation chart for my cousin, Saturnino Ortega Sr. I will be posting some more Ortega documents here soon. Keep checking. Changed the chart as the other program has a glitch. It left off a few folks.

El Numero Ocho

Click on the image to make it larger

My grandfather, Roman Benavidez, was born on 28 February, 1874 in El Gusano, New Mexico. Today that is South San Isidro in San Miguel County. He worked at many jobs, and one was for the AT&SF, the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad. By the time I remember him  in Rowe, New Mexico in the mid 1950's he was in his 80's.

Every day he would watch as the trains went by, when "El Numero Ocho" would pass he would reach into his pocket and pull out his pocket watch out and reset it. No Greenwich Mean time for him, no daylight savings time for him, just the scheduled time of El Numero Ocho.

Hispanic's in New Mexico are the Majority!!!! Again

Click, if you dare, on the Spanglish sign to see a larger version

At one time prior to 1846 we Hispanics were the majority, the great majority in New Mexico. The "Hispanics", the Indians, los Mestizos, a few Frenchmen and a few Americans, that was it. Then came 1846 and the American invasion, occupation and annexation of New Mexico by the Americans.

I am not sure when the change occurred that made New Mexican Hispanics a minority in our own State. But my guess that it was right around the time of statehood, 1912 or sometime before. The Americans would not have let New Mexico in as a state with a Hispanic majority. Nooooooo sireeee, they would not have admitted us into the union until they were guaranteed a majority.

Americans of the era did not and would not tolerate what they saw as un American voters winning at elections and governing with them. So they waited until they could guarantee they could elect their officials.

There is still some fear of that in parts of New Mexico, especially south of I-40.

Anyway, those that fear it will have to deal with it in their own way. But we are the majority in the homeland once again.
