- What happened to the original Hispanic settlers of the American Southwest? The American Southwest, a region which includes most of the region of the Mexican Cession like New Mexico, California, Nevada, Colorado as well as Texas, is a diverse mix of Anglo-Americans, Hispanics and various indigenous groups such as the Apache, Comanche, Navajo and Puebloans. Before Texan independence and the American annexation of Northern Mexico, a couple hundred thousand Hispanic settlers of Spanish and Mestizo origin called this region home along with a smaller number of Hispanicized natives. After the annexation by the United States, these Hispanics became US citizens and have a very interesting history contributing to the unique cultural fabric found in this part of the country. In today's video we're going to be discussing the history of these first Hispanics in America so let me know your thoughts on these different groups such as the Nuevomexicanos, Californios, Tejanos, Floridianos and Islenos of Louisiana (not discussed in the video). Thanks for watching

We didn't cross the border the border crossed us, proud Texican
That is exactly correct, sir! 👍🏽 💯
As a Puerto Rican, proud to be Hispanic
Yeah we forced Spain to cede Guam and Purto Rico to the United states in a treaty. After the Spanish American war in 1898. My 7th great grandfather father fought in that war and spanked the Spanish. And had some Purto Rican babies before he left that island with The all-Black Company L of the 6th Massachusetts Regimental National Guard who fought in Puerto Rico.
Ok. Here’s your 🎂
Hispanic is a term invented by the US government, to put all Spanish-speaking people in a box
They should teach this stuff in school. It’s part of American history and it is absolutely fascinating.
You have no idea how fascinating it is! Mexico has the first printing press, the first vineyards and wineries, first public library, etc!! Before the pilgrims even set sail.
Eva Longoria is from Texas. Her family moved there "thirteen years before Virginia Dare was born." Her family, like many Mexican-Americans, never immigrated to the United States. The United States immigrated to them!
Cap. It was sold to the united states by Mexico. Mexico colonized it from the natives.
@@Wharbuckz7 *Spain, not Mxico.
@@Egr-et6ar Wrong. Mexico was New Spain, and every bit as powerful as Madrid. The Aztec emperor’s statue is situated on the facade of the Royal Palace of Madrid. We are intertwined.
@@Egr-et6ar In fact, all of the East Indies were administered by Mexico City for the Spanish Crown - after the Españoles & Novohispanos (Mexicans) conquered those lands

@@loislewis5229no.. not more like 500 years. More like 300
@@adamdudley8736 Having researched my Mexican ancestors, their people founded and settled Nuevo México in the 1590’s, so in the “Southwest” aka Northern Mexico, it’s been closer to the 500, over 400 years.
Yeah we’ve been here
I'm a Hispano of Northern New Mexico USA a Nuevo Mexicano, a Native New Mexican my family predates the United States entirely in fact we have no family and never had no family south of the border. I would not say i am a descendant of Spaniards I am a Native American mixed with Spanish. Anglos try and make us forget about our Native identity but I will always be proud of it. I can enroll in a tribe also. Our food is regional variation of Mexican food essentially with a twist. We make tacos and enchiladas and make sopapillas and biscochitos we eat lots of red and green chile. It's a combination of Spanish and Native food. We have mariachis up too. If you look up my ancestry it doesn't trace me back to Spain it traces me back to Northern New Mexico. You'll find many native Americans have Spanish last names because most of us are mixed. I am half Spanish and half native american (jicarilla apache). We are still here all over New Mexico as well as the entire southwest. Native New Mexicans is what we are specifically. Our family history is rich. We are proud of our culture and heritage and proud to be apart of the history here over 20 generations deep. The saying goes we didnt cross the border the border crossed us. We predate the pilgrims. The true Chicanos because we have been here all along and never left. We are resilient people who have spirits of warriors!
After the Mexican-American War, Anglo Americans began migrating in large numbers to all of the newly acquired territory. Anglos began taking lands from both Native Americans and Hispanos by different means, most notably by squatting. Squatters often sold these lands to land speculators for huge profits, especially after the passing of the 1862 Homestead Act. Hispanos demanded that their lands be returned but governments did not respond favorably. For example, the Surveyor of General Claims Office in New Mexico would at times take up to fifty years to process a claim, meanwhile, the lands were being grabbed up by the newcomers.
The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo gave the United States undisputed control of Texas, established the Rio Grande River as the United States-Mexican border, and ceded to the United States the present-day states of California, Nevada, Utah, parts of Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, and Wyoming. Article VIII of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo guaranteed, "In the said territories, property of every kind, now belonging to Mexicans . . . shall be inviolably respected." However, the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was not self-executing, and Congress established different adjudication systems, by which Mexican landowners were required to demonstrate the legitimacy of their claims under Spanish and Mexican law to have their rights confirmed by the United States.
In January 1912, New Mexico became an American state, and Anglophones eventually became the majority population. The state's Hispanos became an economically disadvantaged population, becoming virtual second-class citizens compared to the Anglos. The Hispanos suffered discrimination from Anglophone Americans, who also questioned the loyalty of these new American citizens. The cultures of Hispanos and immigrant Anglophones eventually mixed to some degree, as was the case with immigrants in other parts of the United States."
Las Vegas NM one of the most disadvantaged in the nation.
"The median income for a household in the city was $24,214, and the median income for a family was $29,797. Males had a median income of $26,319 versus $21,731 for females. The per capita income for the city was $12,619 as compared to $21,587 nationally as noted in the 2000 Census. In the past, 24.3% of families and 27.8% of the population were below the poverty line, including 35.7% of those under age 18 and 20.1% of those age 65 or over. The most recent figures as provided by the U. S. Census Bureau estimate the total number of persons (all ages) at or below the poverty line has increased to 34.4%. This is significantly higher than the national average of 12.7% or the State average of 19.8%."
Do you still speak Spanish?
@@just_a_turtle_chadMy parents speak fluent Spanish. I speak fluent English and I can spend some Spanish but not like my parents but I'm working on improving it. Growing up English was pushed on us more then anything as Spanish was frowned upon. Las Vegas NM I grew up in has heavy Spaniglish combination of English and Spanish. Las Vegas was a battleground during the Mexican American war and people still are heavily Mexican influenced. The 4th of July Fiestas every year are full of Mariachis and Mexicans influence. People don't realize our rich history how far it goes.
sure being a peon working on the large spanish land grants must have been great the united states liberated those people
Nice! The hispanos represent new mexico greatly, an intersection of spain and most of the southwestern tribes. By the way, which tribe is it most common for hispanos to descend from in your experience?
@@thumbygreenthe US can't liberate it's own ppl let alone anyone else.
I have family from florida saint Augustine they were of spanish desecent
One of the most fascinating areas of the country... I'm surprised Masaman didn't mention the fact that that area's pre-American Spanish population was (almost) completely evacuated from La Florida after the British invaded. I think some of them eventually came back but the removal affected the population's history and genetic makeup for sure.
Interesting. They are descended from two people left to collect taxes iirc, like 1000 descended from these dudes.
@@natemup They all went to Havana after 1763. To stay with the British would have been akin to apostasy (The British were Protestant, remember.) The British ceded the Floridas back to Spain in 1783, and for the next forty or so years some Floridanos returned from Cuba, and some new Spanish came from elsewhere, but their numbers were always very small, and outside of Saint Augustine and Pensacola there could not have been more than 1,000 at any given time, if even that many. They left almost no genetic impact on the state and after the cessation to the United States in 1821 the population jumped rapidly from probably about 6,000 (My estimate - many of whom were ethnically Anglo already), to 13,000 in the 1825 territorial census, to 34,000 in the 1830 federal census.
🇪🇸 Creo que el impacto genético hispánico primigenio en general en el continente americano debió ser residual. Los conquistadores eran muy pocos y los indígenas millones. A pesar de los primeros casamientos o cruces con nativas indígenas, los individuos mestizos resultantes si no se cruzaban con blancos porque no habían bastantes y esos mestizos se cruzaban con indigenas; en las siguientes generaciones ese mestizaje se diluía. En siglos posteriores posiblemente llegaron inmigrantes europeos ( españoles, franceses, alemanes, italianos, y otros ) con familias en algunos casos, o sin ella. Posiblemente la población blanca y mestiza actual desciendan de ellos. Los famosos análisis que proliferan por las redes realizados por empresas sobre todo estadounidenses ( Pseudo científicas ) no creo de sean de fiar, ( eso de un trozo Ibérico, otro irlandés, otro pequeño judío, el resto amerindio ) eso no funciona así. Son cromosomas, haplogrupos, etc.
Spanish people are from Spain, the true owner is Índio you are immigrants in America like the others.
I am Tejano, and I find this interesting. Most if my family just calls ourselves Mexican. But we have Canary Island ancestry.
Then Moors are Spniards.

Great video sir. I shared this with my father who was born in Northern New Mexico. He was very grateful.
If you stand on top of Wheeler Peak, also known as Taos Peak within a fifty mile radius, you would find the birthplace of all of my paternal ancestors for the past 500 years. And the Indian ancestors go back thousands of years. One of my great grandfathers owned the land grant that surrounds Taos Pueblo. Another was the first Mexican governor of Nuevo Mexico, Francisco Xavier Chavez, which coincidentally makes Demi Lovato my distant cousin.
Soy nuevomexicano y un verdadero chicano we are still here and never will leave the motherland 🤙🏼
I went to grad school in the U..S with the last name of Lopez. He was from Santa Fe, N.M. He descended from those early settlers. Dude couldn't speak a word of Spanish.
Surnames of Basque origin such as Archuleta and Miranda are common in Northern New Mexico..
If he actually lived in New Mexico he definitely spoke at least some Spanglish. Everyone there who is Latino there speaks Spanglish. Fluent Spanish skills are less common amongst younger generations.
He sounds assimilated. Not his fault. His family at some point may have voluntarily given up Spanish language in the past, which their descendants had no control over. All they can do is relearn the language if they wish.
Dude is describing millions of us 😂
@@user-qv1jx3ss8x Spanglish is a real dialect thought that most of us pochos do speak. Don’t overlook that.
It's almost as if English has been forced on people over generations.
(Plot twist: it has)
Children in the early 1900s were beaten in school for not speaking English
I’m of Tejano and Northern Mexican descent and descended from partial Comanche ancestry and mostly Spanish it’s always interesting to learn about the history. I’ve done a lot of family research and found that my tejano family was actually mixed with the Anglo Americans who moved to Texas, both my great grandfathers parents were mixed, one was an Anglo/german man who married an old stock Tejano Woman from Brownsville. The other great great grandparent was the daughter of a Kentuckian confederate who fled to Mexico and had a baby with an indigenous Nahuatl speaking woman from San Luis Potosí, the couple then fled to Texas in the early 1900s. But it’s cool to see all this history and culture carried on in its own unique way. I’m Proud of my Tejano ancestry even though I was born in California.
Indigenous to texas indeed, did you take a dna test with percentages? With comanche ancestry you might be able to enroll in the comanche nation. Also i find it fascinating a confederate would marry a nahua lol, yet not surprised since the indigenous cherokee for example were rich in the south before indian removal via plantations and were already intermarrying with southern whites. You represent the history of texas, very fascinating nonetheless and thank you for sharing your story!
Very impressed you are very informed of your ancestry.

My wife's father's family came from Spain and settled in the area northwest of Santa Fe in the late 1600s. She grew up within 50 miles of where those ancestors first settled. Her mother's family came up from Mexico in the 1800s.
There's a documentary about this yes there was many Spanish and Native Americans in New Mexico, Texas but the Government of New Spain back then was also incentivising families in main land Mexico to move to those more sparsely populated areas.
I just call myself Latino or Chicano. My ancestors would have been Christian, Jewish, Muslims 🤯
My blood is 51% European and 40% Native Mexican
Lots of Arab, Ashkenazi and African that comprise the rest of my DNA
I'm fascinated by my history, and definitely dealt with identity issues growing up. I don't think people understand how many issues European colonization created. Being both European and native, but being told you're white, but not being white enough for white people was a weird experience growing up 😅
But I love Mexican and Spanish culture and I have spent my life studying it
50%-60% es el promedio en los Mexicanos, los mexicanos norteños a veces tienen mas porcentaje europeo
Spanish culture is overrated compared to native culture.
Spanish culture is safe in Spain...... American people should not be worrying about such things..... Too many Americans also worry about English culture and language bizarrely
Your DNA is just the story of how you got to where you are now through the generations. We've been doing this at least since we left Africa almost 100,000 years ago, so I wouldn't get too wound up about it. Everybody came from somewhere. Originally that somewhere was Africa. It's an interesting story and it's cool being able to trace it, but in the grand scheme of things, it's not something you can change. You're here now.
@penderyn8794
As a Spaniard of Galician heritage, today I'm Christian and speak Castilian aka Spanish instead of Arabic praying to Allah 20 times a day thanks to Visigothic Nobleman Don Pelayo. Valiant warrior King of the North. King of Asturias. Crowned KIng by the loyal men who fought alongside him. Seeder of the Reconquista and their descendants who continued forming small Christian Kingdoms in the North, fighting and resisting for 700 years. Generation to generation. (Instead of running away into France) slowly expanding until the whole of Iberia was free of the peaceful messengers of islam in 1492AD, when the remaining Christian Kingdoms united to become Spain. 🇪🇸 (Except for the Kingdom of Portugal 🇵🇹 because they're special but I still love them.)
Muslims like to brag how they "ruled Iberia for 800 years. "
But what they fail to mention is that the Reconquista pretty much started straight away. And that the tiny Christian Kingdoms of the North were not part of Al Andalus. They also fail to mention that by the 12th century (1100s) half of Hispania was back in Indo European Christian hands. And by the mid 13th century 96% of Hispania had been reconquered. They fail to mention that the islamic kingdom of Granada was allowed to remain as long as they paid tribute to the Kingdom of Castile. Until they made the mistake of attacking a Christian settlement in the late 15th century.
Today the gates of Toledo have once again been opened into Europa and the West...
*Reconquista II Intensifies*
DEUS VULT!
@@edstar83 While all this history is great, you sound like you're living 600 years ago
You have this need to belittle and denigrate Arab society to uplift your own
Once you continue to learn history, you'll learn that everyone is basically the same and nobody is the villain in their own story. Arabs made incredible advancements in science, art and math, specifically the Arabs of Iberia were known for their focus on education and investments in universities
Take a DNA test, you very likely have some Arab/North African/Amazigh blood due to their long history in Iberia

Flooded by migrants? I hope your not talking about Mexicans
All over Dallas 😂
PLVS VLTRA
Migrants from the South are the ones who settled the area in the first place
Oh shutup imagine being on native lands and than crying that more natives are coming in.
Good recap. Hard to cover all the Hispano communities in one video-for instance the expulsion of Spaniards in the North by Native revolt and the reconquista wherein many families were split and left with nothing as they escaped south to El Paso-only to gather up and fight their way back . One of the only times an indigenous group successfully expelled settlers. The Spanish in New Mexico were extremely isolated and often fought a raiding war with Apaches and Navajo on the frontier. The isolation and constant engagement with the tribes led to a truly unique and American culture which still has a strong thread running through the region today despite Anglicization that leaves much of Eastern New Mexico looking more like Texas.
Would make a great part 2. Ty for this comment, it was a great read!

the pueblos in taos even allied with the mexicans in the area against the US in the US Mexican war
100. Our ancestors didn’t just accept US rule without a fight…
My European ancestors who came to NM in 1598 were Juan Greigo (John The Greek) and his Aztec wife Juana Bernal. My Asturias Vigil ancestors came in 1695 and their son married into the family of the previously mentioned couple. My surname ancestor, I believe, was Galician. This Gonzales can be found as early as 1678 in El Paso. My ancestors were in NM for the 1680 revolt, the 1692 reconquest and the last revolt in 1696. I would talk about the Native American side, but all I know about it is my MtDNA.

It's so nice to meet Californios. Wish there were more of you guys around.
Most novomexicanos do consider themselves Indo-Spanish, regarldess of their degree of integration (or assimilation) into mainstream Anglo-Americans.
Yes, nuevomexicano, Indo-Hispano, Chicano, Hispano, Latino, genízaro, Hispanic are all used depending on who you ask.
The genizaros weren't mentioned in the video, but they were like the ladinos in Guatemalteca: people of native origin raised in a spanish environment, being not fully spanyard by blood but being it by culture, and distinct from natives by worldview.
Yeah, they should keep their indo spanish identity. They can often trace ancestry to settlers from specific regions and exact tribes, which provides more understanding compared to for example avg mestizo in mexico, who has no tribal remembrance most of the time.
@@DarthMarr2009 I’d say it’s a mixture in my experience. Some nuevomexicanos know EXACTLY which tribe they descend from and who married who and others have absolutely no idea.
This information can literally be lost from one generation to the next. Same with language. My great-grandparents spoke Spanish, and an Apache dialect, and learned English as adults. Their children knew basically nothing of the Apache dialect outside of a few words and some of the children of those children had no idea they even had Apache ancestry and have high-intermediate Spanish. I’m now fluent in Spanish as an adult but my siblings speak zero Spanish even.
@@stephenborunda i see, thats interesting nonetheless you can trace it that far back. You look like 30% indigenous imo from your photo
Brilliant work, as usual.
It's disappointing that no mention was made of the tragic expropriation without compensation of Hispanics in the South West, either via arbitrary taxation in California, by plain seizure in Tierra Amarilla, NM, or other.
💯 land theft by gringos towards both Indigenous peoples but also Chicanos was sooooo common.
Exactly!! Americans insist everything is “right” and they “bought and paid for” everything. They don’t have a clue about the squatters!!
I would love to give California back to Mexico. Maybe we can also give them New Mexico? The only thing is, they have to also take the people, not just the land but also the people who are there. And, after the trade, I don't want any more immigration from Mexico unless it's highly skilled people.
@@Procopius464 Why would it only be California and New Mexico, Mexico has historical right to almost **half** of the US
@@mdc3148 I want to get rid of certain states. If I can get rid of certain states, and give them some other territories to go into besides my country then that's a win-win for all. I don't know what you mean by "historical right." Spain ruled those regions before Mexico, and before that it was Comanches, Apache, etc. The toothpaste can't be put back in the bottle, but settlements can be reached.
Hello! I am a descendant of these original Hispanics that were here. My ancestors are from San Elizario. Even though my blood is now mixed between Mexico and the old spainyards that came in to the southwest, there is still cultural influences in my family from the spainyards, although now watered down. My ancestors lived in San elizario up until around 1950. My great grandfather was the mayor there and his influence is still there to this day. San Elizario was a pocket of the old Spanish culture, but it no longer is and has been absorbed into the wider culture of west Texas. Many decndants from the town no longer live there, instead living in the larger Texan cities. Thanks for the video from Dallas!
My family has been down town Santa Fe for the past 400+ years, in old adobe homes. We were always told that we are decedents of the Conquistadors.
I think Spanish American is just a fine term, I'm Mexican American but by abuela was 100% Galician, Castilian, and Catalan. I'm proud to be of Spanish origins
Only paternal lineage matters.
My 🤓”abuela”
That doesnt make you 100% spanish though. I have family in my ancestral lineage from Spain but that doesnt make me spanish as I also have native ancestry. Most people from Mexico have spanish ancestry yet they dont identify as spanish. The west of the USA was Mexico making anybody that stayed when USA robbed it Mexican American.
That isn’t what this video is about. It’s about the populations who lived under the Spanish crown for hundreds of years, then Mexico, and then the US. Your abuela, obviously, wouldn’t count since she wasn’t born in the 1800s.
@@1988vikableyes we are Mexican, just like most gringos don’t claim to be English or German just American, same thing with mestizos,
Nice to see a bit of New Mexico and Southwest history here! Im from Las Cruces and now live in Phoenix. You didn't mentioned the indigenous people around the Phoenix area. I dont want to use the wrong word but believe some identity as O Odham (Tohano, etc...) So im curious about that. I loved hearing more about my beloved home state and I grew up with Hispanos, Crypto Jews, and people who identified in all the ways you described and pretty much everyone speaks a bit of Spanglish😂 I also learned our English dialect carries inflections from both Spanish AND Indigenous languages!
I'm a member of Tohono O'odham.
Great video!
Awesome video.
As a Nuevomexicano from Santa Fe, I had my DNA looked at because people would ask me what I am. So I decided to find out and it turns out, I am Nuevomexicano, I am Spanish, Portuguese, Pueblo Indian, English, Danish or Swedish, Plains Indian and Basque.
Basque is Spanish citizen and considered Hispanic remember Key Biscayne or Biscayne Bay in Florida for exemple
A lot of those are nationalities.
When it comes to Spain and Portugal, you could say you have iberian blood. It's all a mix, but we have more in common with each other than with the French and the English.
Amazing, what are ur percentages? Can you trace your descent to any tribes?
But you have a jevvish surname
@DarthMarr2009 Due to colonialism and racism the Indigenous blood has been watered down. I need to work on my genealogy in order to see if I can find a linkage to a specific tribe. But I assume I am part Tewa because this is the tribe with Santa Fe as their homeland. I am 29% Spanish, 23% Indigenous from Northern New Mexico, 12% Portuguese, 8% English/Northwestern Europe & Sweden/Denmark, 6% Indigenous from North America and 6% Basque.
It's unbelievable that the US education system & census doesn't include this Hispano population, or other groups like the Cajuns.
Well, in reality it’s no different from the other Hispanic populations, especially Mexicans. The border is made up, people on both sides are the same, except for the really local Indigenous
hahahahah, one day all those land will come back to Mexico :v, this is the reason why they will never teach that.
We have already reached a point where will be part of the majority. I am a descendant of Spaniards and Mexicans all over New Spain/Mexico. Every line goes back to the old kingdoms of Mexico/New Spain 🇪🇸 🇲🇽 Proudly
Very well explained and interesting as well! Keep up the great work!

Please , stop lying, never existed a Casta System within Hispanic América. There was an ESTAMENTAL or steps System the same that in Europe; king/aristocracy/clerical and militar/ populars or plebeyos/ slaves. There were natives indigenous even black people with aristocracy level, there were black and native people at the highest militar level, there were all kind of racial types and mixtures into the military or the clerical orders, there were white populars even slaves which was prisioners of wars .... So, please stop fakes about Hispanic Empire. One more detail , the steps Estamentos did not was closed at all, everybody could change their level by meritocracy ...
Aún hoy, en pleno XXI, gran parte de la nobleza española es descendiente directa de Moctezuma y el Inca.
@@AngelRodriguez-zs9bi ¿Quéééééé? ¿Por qué te inventas cosas? La nobleza española, en España, jamás tuvo ni interés ni oportunidad en mezclarse con la nobleza amerindia, porque estaban en continentes distintos. Lo único que hubo fueron algunos nobles españoles que sí que echaron raíz en las Américas; después que sus descendientes se hayan mezclado o no con las noblezas indígenas es otra historia. Los españoles que se mezclaron con la nobleza amerindia eran SOLDADOS, mejor dicho, oficiales del ejército español, y no necesariamente "nobles". Por otra parte, no hay tal "Inca", porque inca es una palabra quechua que significa "rey", es un título, no una persona. Sí que hay descendientes de los últimos incas, así como hay descendientes de los Habsburgo; pero fentonces uno tiene que hacer como con los Habsburgo: llamarlos por su apellido (Habsburgo) y no por su título (inca).

They were never there
@@stephenborundaI thought Texas would've had the most. I heard Colorado has a good amount too. Never heard of the ones in Nevada or Utah if they exist
@@Pwn3540@Pwn3540 Yeah, I believe Texas was second after New Mexico, but New Mexico still had perhaps 30-50,000 more people as its population was around 100K. Also, important to keep in mind that Indigenous peoples in every state were undercounted. Btw, Colorado populations would have been counted under New Mexico at the end of the Mexican-American War and those populations are actually considered nuevomexicanos. The old Colorado mexicanos all understand that all their ancestors came from New Mexico pretty much in the 1800s. Fascinating history.
BTW, I these are numbers purely for people who were Indigenous or "Latino" Mexican citizens in Mexico and suddenly found themselves as US citizens in the US. If you count US citizens in Texas then the numbers skew to Texas...but for mexicano populations, New Mexico was definitely the most populated place that became part of the US...as surprising as that may be today.
thanks for the Video i ask me this question last month
I was also thinking of this topic! I find it funny when this happens 😅 maybe he read our minds 😝
@@psychedelicyeti6053 hahahahaha maybe he really do this
Pueblo uprising caused many to leave, most were chased out by Comanches. The toughest held out from Santa Fe to El Paso.
I've been wondering about this for a couple of years
"Hispanic" is such a loaded word nowadays. Is it simply refering to people who speak Castilian on this side of the hemisphere? Or only the descendants of the original people of Hispania?
Yes. By the definitions of the U.S. government and its policies, it is is referring, quite simply, to what you say: a Spanish speaker or anyone who has any living family, relatives or known ancestors who speak it or spoke it at any time.
It is true that it has been loaded by the U.S. government's curious way of separating it from everything else that a person can be - anything cultural, or racial, or ethnic that exists cannot be Hispanic, in U.S. Census and other administrative definitions. Its policy is to make it into an ALL-THINGS-IN-ONE kind of thing.
Inside the U. S. there are no clear definitions.
Hispanic , in U.S. definition, is just someone -anyone- who either speaks Spanish in any native capacity or whose living family or relatives, or even dead but known-of ancestors spoke Spanish is ANY native capacity.
There is absolutely no other common thread that I can find, for U.S. definition purposes.
Culture, race, anything else is irrelevant.
Whenever I see forms that say "Hispanic/Not White" or "White/Not Hispanic, " I find it nonsensical.
The terminology :
Latin /a/o/x is incorrect and not invented by Hispanic peoples or countries, or by Brazilians or Haitians or others ( speakers of Romance languages from this hemisphere)... but with the excuse of linguistic origin, though no form
ever provided ever says "Anglo/Not Hispanic".... That is because Anglo and Hispanic are not races, cultures, religions, or ethnicities.
What I find interesting is that, in the U.S., any person may natively speak fluent Polish, Croatian, or Finnish (for example) at home... but it doesn't exempt them from being racially white. 🤔
So interesting!
Thank you!
We have served the US armed forces for 5 generations . Mexican is my identity and I'm happy with it. Spanish is our language in the family , including my 3 grown children born and raised in Houston. I feel free wherever I go in US and also very happy. USarmy veteran. Berlin Brigade 1980-1983.
Good video bro
I’m a descendant of the Nuevo Mexicano people. My family came from the Santa Fe area. The funny thing is that I learned to speak Spanish in Argentina!!! 😅 Our family never taught us to speak Spanish because it was a secret language that the adults spoke between themselves… My uncles make fun of my Argentine accent. I’m leading up to a something that happened to me here in Southern California where I’ve lived for half my life. There were two women from Spain, tourists, in my grocery store who needed help. So, I was helping them in Spanish. This old man looked at me and said, “Speak English, or go back to you came from”!!! I politely looked at the guy and asked, “You want me to go home? My family has been in the Santa Fe area and southern Colorado for 1,000 years! I refuse to go back there because I like the warm weather and palm trees here in Southern California”!!!! 😂 He looked startled and walked away… 😂🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Great video. I moved to New Mexico a few years back and had no idea before moving here about it’s unique history. There were Spanish conquistadors in New Mexico before the pilgrims arrived on the East coast. That blew my mind. I feel like I only learned American history from the English perspective and the Spanish perspective was largely ignored. As New Mexico was cut off from the rest of Mexico, the people here developed their own culture, foods, and dialect. Most people here, even though they look Hispanic and have Hispanic names do not speak any Spanish as they have been assimilated after multiple generations of being in the US. I was hoping to use my Spanish here more,but quickly learned that some of the only Spanish speakers are recent arrivals from south of the boarder. New Mexico has retained this unique culture a lot more than other states where I feel it has been washed out a lot more by large amounts of people moving in. It has been great and I love the food.
This is the nicest way I have ever heard of someone explaining Spanish and Anglo genocide of Indigenous Amerindians.

i'm not a nuevo mexicano, but i am of caribbean spanish origin. both sides of my family were spaniards, who emigrated to cuba and puerto rico. my great grandfather actually went to cuba early 20th century. so, he was one of the last spaniards to go to cuba. he came from asturias, where i can still trace his village. my maternal great grandmother was from the canary islands, and her family also emigrated to cuba later. but not exactly sure when. because there's my information about by great grandfather's history
i am probably one of the few who can actually trace their ancestry from spain. as most people in the caribbean cannot, and have become assimilated into the local culture following the decades
plus, many in spanish speaking caribbean like to claim they have spanish blood. but in reality, they don't or have little connection to spain. i also stand out from other carribean hispanics. i'm tall, green eyes, dark blonde

The indigenous people of Latin America are more Spanish than the Spanish themselves, the Miztecs, Zapotecs and Mayans, Purephechas, live in Catholic towns where they practice bull riding. I have seen that they have not disappeared.
That’s because they are Mestizo, not Indigenous. Their European heritage is just as on display

Mexico was Divided and after the Mexican - American war there was the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. European American settlers violated the treaty by annexing Mexican people land’s and burned their deeds. Hence, the reason why we were displaced and have been coming back and becoming a majority. Do not forget, language doesn’t completely identify our ethnicity, we are still Indigenous we just call ourselves Mexicans after we kicked out the Spanish crown. To honor the Mexica / Aztecs, even though we are not just Aztec or Mayan, there are many other Indigenous nations that we mixed with and still mix with today. I’m European, Toltec, Yaqui, Mayo, and Purepecha, but consider myself Mexican, NOT Hispanic or Latino. As my ancestors aren’t from Europe along with the majority of Mexicans.
Side note, American’s / European American’s speak English but they don’t call themselves English American or British American. The majority of them don’t even have Indigenous genes. Be sure to research both sides of the story without a bias mindset, food for thought.
You're not Hispanic? That's like a Swiss arguing that he isn't European because he's Swiss. Can you communicate with Spanish-speakers from Honduras and New Mexico? If you can, that means you're Hispanic. Stop being so ignorant.
Do you upload your maps anywhere?
Super interesting. I'm Chilean. I was in San Diego, CA, recently and felt so at home: not only the geography is incredibly similar to the central coast of my country, but a lot of the arquitecture was clearly Hispanic. I went to Old Town, it looks just like any other classic plaza central in Latin America! I found the museums there very interesting to learn about the lives of those early settlers. As for ethinicity, like always, I think us Latinos are way more used to the idea of being very, very diverse (Spanish mixed with Native and a multiplicity of other European nations), so no wonder people can "look" very different but still feel their Hispanic roots.
I can trace my ancestry to South Texas near the McAllen-Brownsville Area am from Tamaulipas Mexico 🇲🇽

Yo soy nuevomexicana. And I'm an American. Crecí en Nuevo México y hablo español e inglés. I grew up in Nuevo Mexico. My paternal grandfather was Anglo-American. His father and brothers really were from England. In fact, our English cousins were here 2 months ago. Mi abuela materna era genízara. This means she was a Native Anerican who had adopted Spanish-speaking culture. Mi mamá era bilingüe y también mi papá. La familia de mi papá eran mexicanos de Guanajuato. My paternal grandparents and one of my uncles came from Silao, Guanajuato, México. I'm a Nuevomexicana that has English, Native American, Mexican, and Iberian ancestry. My 23andme DNA analysis says I'm 50% European and 45% Native American. I got it all. And I read, write, and speak both languages fluently. But I don't think of myself as Hispanic, or Latina, or Chicana, or Mexicana, or even Mexican-American. And definitely not LatinX. Nope. I'm a Nuevomexicana and an American.
These comments are like a breath of fresh air. Thank you for the kind words.
As someone with roots in New Mexico and Chihuahua, I'd like to add a few points:
The issue of land rights for Mexican Americans who became U.S. citizens after the Mexican-American War is often overlooked. Many families lost their lands through intimidation or illegal means, a historical wrong that still impacts communities today.
The video touches on the mixed heritage of Mexican Americans, but it's worth emphasizing that this mixture of Indigenous and European ancestry creates a unique cultural identity that bridges both worlds. This complexity is often overlooked in discussions about race and ethnicity in the U.S. today.
While the video mentions discrimination, it's important to note that addressing these historical injustices is crucial for the future stability of the U.S., especially as the Hispanic population grows. This isn't about reparations, but about ensuring equal rights and opportunities.
The preservation of languages (Spanish and indigenous languages) in the Southwest should be seen as a cultural asset. Offering public services in multiple languages would not only respect the rights of native speakers but also provide economic benefits to border states.
The legal status of indigenous people, including those of mixed Hispanic-Indigenous heritage, needs to be addressed. The current system, particularly the Bureau of Indian Affairs, limits their access to justice.
Addressing these issues is not just about righting historical wrongs, but about strengthening the core American values of justice and equality.
As the video suggests, the Hispano population is gradually assimilating, but preserving their unique cultural heritage and addressing past injustices is crucial for a more unified and just American future for ALL groups.
Thank you!!! I have similar family roots from New Mexico (via Gallegos, Baca, and Indigenous ancestry) and my Borunda ancestors originally coming from Satevó in Chihuahua and then moving to New Mexico in the 1800s.
It's Mexican American history
Not latin American note the diffrence
@@MariaGasca-Reyes ?
It is good to protect all cultures, especially those that have been unfairly attacked like the Hispanic community, although I don't know if you are Hispanic or know many Hispanics but the Hispanic community is not assimilating, I literally don't know any Hispanic who doesn't speak Spanish. My family and I speak Spanish and we have lived in Texas since the time it was administered by Mexico.
@@Cesar_1216 I am not angry about it what makes me angry is that we Mexicans hate ourselves and treat Americans like gods while they are gentrifying Mexico.
My family's been in Texas since at least the 1600s. Like the Indigenous people before us, we're still here!
i’m from the southwest too (socal), and i primarily grew up with other Caribbean and Central/South Americans since i’m Caribbean myself so it was nice to be raised around a lot of those diverse unique cultures. it’s cool to see that these groups and their cultures have always been around in the region
Which caribbean country?
I'm Mexican from Los Altos de Jalisco. I can trace my ancestors to the first Europeans that arrived in 1550 to New Spain. I can also trace my ancestors to Cortés and the Alvarado family. You forgot to mention that half of these families were salve owners. Like Toribio Hernández de Arellano my 11th great grand-father. He was also mayor of Santa Maria De Los Lagos. Or the Escoto family starting with Antonio de Escoto y Tovar who was mayor of San Julian and was essential part in investing the miracles of La Virgen de San Juan. As he was only 10 when he saw the first mircle happen. Although very catholic he was also own slaves and his son Antonio Escoto was a slave trader. Or the Padilla family D'Avila who decent from Captain Lorenzo de Padilla D'Avilla a very important family in Spain and in New Spain. These family for generation did not mix with the Native population. I do not I.D as Spanish but North American Mexican as my family were the founding families of New Spain. I still have the books of census and Catholic paper work of every ancestor within my family. Very interesting history for sure.
These family trees are fascinating. And, of course, Cortés had several children with Indigenous women so it’s no surprise some of his descendants don’t look white today.
In fairness the majority of Spaniards And Portuguese were actually Olive not White hench why many Middle Easterners And North Africans blended in well with them phenotypically wise at least for a while of course you had some White ones and some mixed Olive White ones too before they started getting admixed with The Amerindians, Sub Saharan Africans, And East Asians yeah@@stephenborunda
@@matthewmann8969 exactly right. Obviously, Spain is a short boat ride from Africa and Spanish people lived with an Islamic government alongside Arabs from the Middle East and Africa for hundreds of years. No surprise that Spanish people today have the largest percentage of African ancestry of any country in Europe. The average Spaniard is 10% African if I recall recent studies correctly.
Spain was definitely already a melting pot as colonization was just beginning.
On my father side from Jalisco I descend from Padilla Avila line as well.
Do you know if that Escoto surname was shortened to Escot? Ive always thought some Jalisco family with that surname had changed it from Scott but Escoto makes more sense
I'm right here
Fascinating. Thank you.
You should not count the first settlers of Paso del Norte (now El Paso, Texas and Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua) and their descendants as Tejanos... we are really Nuevomexicanos.
Our ancestors were those people who founded Santa Fe, New Mexico in the 1590s and who fled south in 1680 to escape the Pueblo Indian revolt that year. Most of them stayed and founded Paso del Norte and other nearby towns. Some returned to Santa Fe after the "reconquista" of 1692.
Finally, someone who tells it like it is. El Paso should have been made part of US New Mexico not Texas. El Paso was far-flung from the center of power in Texas. It seems land grabbers in TX. expanded TX. all the way to El Paso in order to control a section of the important camino real (King's road) which ran through El Paso. The King's road was a major commercial route that ran from Mexico city to Santa Fe. It was just over 2500 km. (1600 miles) long.
😂 WTF IS A NUEVO MEXICANO 😂😂 OH!! THAT'S RIGHT THE ONE'S WHO STAND AT THE BORDER YELLING ALL YOU ILEGA IMMIGRANTS GO BACK TO YOUR COUNTRY 😂 😂 IMAGINE GETTING KICKED OUT FROM YOUR OWN LAND. 😂😂😂😂
Paso del Norte was founded in 1659, well before the Pueblo Revolt. And Santa Fe was founded - at its earliest - between 1607 and (officially) 1610. You may be thinking of San Juan de los Caballeros, which was established in 1598 near present-day Española and Ohkay Owingeh Pueblo.
@@mat247365 The Guadalupe mission is what's established in 1659, but only the Franciscan friars lived there, and the Manso indians that lived nearby... that's not Paso del Norte... the village started with the arrival of the refugees from Santa Fe.
@@mat247365 The refugees also founded Ysleta (del Sur), and Socorro in the US side of the border... and San Lorenzo, and Senecú in the mexican side.

Well New México became a state recently in 1912. My grandparents were born in las cruces and they had brothers and sisters south of the border as well. Mexicanos and Nuevo Mexicanos are mestizos. I don’t get why novomexicanos think they come from Spanish royalties 😂 when the first Spanish came to new mex and the southwest, they came with hundreds if not thousands of mexicas or nahuas from México city to have them as mediators between them and other natives. Now the southwest is mainly mestizos Spanish and natives, mainly natives from northern México and the American southwest

Bro, please make a video on the most genetically diverse regions of the world ,which is the circle which includes (extreme north of India+North Pakistan + parts of Iran).
I got to know about this from a recent talk on a CZcams video.
I’m from Northern tip of India. Being the centre of the silk route this region is highly diverse due to admixture of different genes.
The vast amount of Hispanics you see are Mestizos some Balanced Mestizos others Indio Mestizos(Cholos) others Euro Mestizos(Castizos) which are what they are in most of Latin America also called Metis within Canada also called Alaskan Creoles within Alaska and for a clock watch they were called "Mixed Bloods" for a approximation or duration of the time in some sections of The USA And Pardos also tag lined Afro Mestizos then you have the Zambos also crowned the namesake "Black Indians" the whole point is that even today as has been going on since the early 1500s if not earlier all those mixed groups have been used as referees and middle people with Pure Blooded Southern Europeans And sometimes Pure Blooded Middle Easterners and at other places pure plasmad North Africans at the top with either pure quantamed Amerindians And full measured Sub Saharan Africans at the very bottom of the sphere or measuring stick it may not be as heavy like it used to but the sense of eneminity and stigma could be seen by those brave enough to look so yeah.
Worth saying Castizos are considered white in Latin America, there is no discrimination or distinction made between a “castizo” or a pure “white”. People judge by behavior and appearance. Often in the same family one will find criollos and castizos.
Correct. The only unmixed Spanish is in Louisiana, but even then they likely have creole blood.

My mother's side is from Northern New Mexico from way back and some lines tracing back to the Earliest Colonization and other lines from the Reconquista, and also from Chihuahua. Father's side is from Guadalajara Jalisco and can trace back very early to founding fathers of Nueva Galicia. Growing up in California, I refer myself as Chicano or Mexican American. On my New Mexico side my ancestors took the Old Spanish Trail to Southern California back in the early 1800s only to return after a flood. It's been a journey trying to learn all I can, so much history lost. We are still here and serve in the Armed Services in numbers that outpace other Ethnic groups in percentages. Semper Fi!

That bar graph breaking down self ID and ancestry made me laugh because my very proud to be pure Spanish nana was dna swabbed after her passing and we rightfully found she wasn't even majority European.
Can we ask about the results? Hopefully, the results provided some clarity to the family.
@@stephenborunda The results painted the most stereotypical Mexican genetic history you can find. About 50% Native American, 40% Europe (mostly Spanish with 5% Italian & Jewish) then 8% African mostly North African. Jewish likely from the early escape to Iberia, and the North African likely from the Umayyad conquest which stuck around until the conquistadores came to America.
The real clarity to the family was from my Tatas sisters side whose husband had an affair when he was young so we found a whole black family we did not know.
@@Ember-Rodriguez wow! Amazing results! Where was she born?
Hilarious. As a native-born southern New Mexican who realized at age 15 that there is a divide between northern and southern NM regarding Spanish and Mexican ancestry, your reply resonates so much with me. I think many northern New Mexicans would be very disappointed to find out (after taking a DNA test) that their DNA is not as Spanish as it is, especially if they proclaim that their families have lived in the Southwest for many centuries. Surely in that time, there had to have been much traversing between northern New Mexico and northern Mexico.
@@mat247365 yes, myths see powerful things. I remember meeting a kind man in Chimayó who was so obviously of Indigenous descent but seemingly identified as Spanish and totally ignored half (or more) of his ancestry. Some in my family do the same and they are from southern New Mexico in immediate descent. Racism is really something.
I always thought Nancy Lopez, the golfer, was attractive. Whenever I visited Albuquerque I saw many women who resembled her. Now I know why that is and why they look different than other Hispanics in the American Southwest.
I think the higher percentage of Spanish blood also makes them more attractive to me.

HISPANOAMERICANO
The correct term should be Hispanic Americans, not Latin Americans when we refer to people who live in the US who speak Spanish or are of Spanish descent. Ther term Latin American was concocted by the US government, but it's incorrect, since Latin is a language which Hispanics don't speak. The term Latin it's referred to people that speak a language derived from the Latin language, but that would also include French, Italian, Romanian as well as Spanish.
Give me Chicano as being a better term than all of them for us lol.
Latin American is a term referencing the romance linguistic heritage of the regions that speak spanish, french and portuguese, it was a french creation as the nascent second french empire tried to fill the vacum left by Spain and Portugal to become the dominant foreing power in the America's, an enterprise that failed but left a heritage.

No señor.
Hablar latin o una lengua romance NO le hace latino. Como hablar alemán no le hace germano, ni saber ruso le hace eslavo ni aprender mandarín le hará chino.
Los únicos latinos fueron ROMA y los pueblos de EUROPA (mediterránea) que:
- conquistaron.
- romanizaron.
- integraron al imperio latino como provincias latinas.
- latnizaron.
- adoraron dioses latinos: júpiter, marte, juno, venus, ...
- disfrutaron la cultura latina.
- usaron el derecho latino.
- tuvieron gobernadores/emperadores latinos
- generaron lenguas romances
- tienen ruinas y restos latinos.
En América NO se cumple ni uno de esos requisitos.
Si hablar una lengua romance (derivada del latín) hiciera al hablante latino tendría que admitir, entre otros, como latinos a:
- brasileños
- habitantes Haití.
- canadienses (francófonos)
- chinos Macao (portugués)
- asiáticos filipinos, Palaos, ... (español, chabacano)
- moros musulmanes de Argelia, Tunez y Marruecos (españols/francés)
- media Africa negra:
· Guinea (español)
· Angola y Mozambique (portugués)
· más de una docena de países como: Camerún, Níger, República Centroafricana, Togo, Costa de Marfil, etc. etc. (francés)
Todo un dislate y sin sentido.
Los únicos que han sido latinos son las actuales: ITALIA, RUMANÍA-MOLDAVIA, FRANCIA-BÉLGICA, ESPAÑA y PORTUGAL. PUNTO, ni hubo ni hay ni habrá otros latinos.
Lo que Ud nombra son HISPANOAMERICANOS de HISPANOAMÉRICA porque a América la descubren ESPAÑOLES (no latinos) que la HISPANIZAN, la integran al imeperio HISPANO (no latino) y la ESPAÑOLIZAN (no la latinizan) y dejan América llena de ruinas y restos ESPAÑOLES (no latinos): más de 1.300 ciudades, universidades, hospitales, puertos, carretras, acueductos, colegios, templos, etc. etc. Y fueron ESPAÑOLES (no latinos) los que compartieron historia común durante siglos con los americanos y se MEZCLARON con ellos (no los latinos que habían existido y desaparecido en Europa)
Por otro lado HISPANOAMÉRICA = IBEROAMÉRICA
Hispania era el nombre (latín) de la Península (España+Portugal) = Iberia (nombre griego) de la misma península.

There are Families living in this area who lived here when it was New Spain, before Mexico was independent. North east Arizona.
A question Massaman, wouldn't it be better to combine the terms Criollo and Castizo on your map?
A Castizo is between 75%-87,5% Spanish DNA and a Criollo is 87,5%-100% Spanish DNA, it would seem better to me to use the term Hispanic to encompass the castizos and criollos.
Well Castizos are often branded Euro Mestizos as a secondary terminology with Balanced Mestizos being what the majority of Hispanics are being 50 50 and then Indio Mestizos that have a second hand title of Cholos then you have various other Non Pure Races to name as well like Harnizos, Pardos, Zambos, Chino Mestizos etc yeah.

Sure. Depended on alliances. Some ethnic Mexicans allied with Indigenous ppls. Others with their mostly white government.

How would someone like Geronimo have known, with any degree of certainty at all, that Mexicans or Anglo-Americans were foreign or ‘alien’ to North America ? Unless he’d been told, by a someone from outside of his community ?…
