 Pueblos & Reservations Links and Articles in NM Magazine Online Informative Site About the Pre-Culture Known as the Anasasi Online Indian Country Map - some pueblos omitted Native American Resources - scroll down to topic Collection of NM Native American Information Ancient Ruins in the 4 Corners area Nowhere else in the USA can you find such a rich Native American culture. The 19 pueblos, of which the fore-runners were the ancient Anasasi who created Chaco Canyon, and about a third of the huge Navajo Nation (largest reservation in the USA) are all in New Mexico with the major "border" town being Shiprock (in Navajo, Tsai'B'Tai - meaning Rock with Wings). Three cultures have mixed in NM: the Native American, the Spanish, and the Anglo. Some horrific fighting went on and stories abound of terrible treatment of the Natives. The Taos Pueblo, protected for a long time by the high mountains and the Taos Gorge actually drove back the Spanish Conquistadores once but they lost the second time they were attacked. As a result of the Spanish conquest of NM, many land grants exist here and often Hispanics here inherit land passed down through those land grants. Currently, many of these grants have been parceled out and sold to the Anglos coming in from all over. Implants from California and Texas are the most numerous in recent times. Cochise started here as a Mescalero Apache and ended up in SE Arizona. The brutal "Blue Coats" (still called that by contemporary Natives) marched across NM numerous times and committed many atrocities, some of which were reciprocated by the Natives they were "subduing". |
