- The Southwest was once part of Mexico. When the U.S. took over, families there were promised citizenship and protection of their land. Their descendants are still fighting to reclaim what’s theirs.
Connie Gonzales is an heir to Jose Nicolas Ballí, who was given Padre Island by the King of Spain. After a 22 year search, she learned her family was owed mineral royalties from selling the land.

As a Chicano in my 30’s, I was never taught this in school. Gracias.
Serio every one knows that half the us was Mexico and it was taken from us and we’re still a minority when we should be the richest people on the west coast shi crazy
@@jonathanzamoran3241no Mexico was not taken from you guys the Mexican government conceded fast because not many ppl were living in those territories (estimated 80k .01 of Mexico’s population). Majority (95%) of the Mexican ppl were living in New Mexico. Y’all can fight to have that, the thing is the Mexican gov got 15 million (which is roughly 420 million in today’s money) from the US gov, they have already been compensated.
If you want reparations holler at Spain.
@@tonycar831It was taken at gunpoint, ni modo.
@@AntonioPeralesdelHierro yeah that is warfare, the thing is Mexico was compensated for their trouble.
@@tonycar831fckn bozo there’s a reason why the US provoked a war to begin and that was to forcefully take land that never corresponded to you
Abraham Lincoln was asked what he thought about the American-Mexican war and he said that's nothing to be proud of as we stole land, somewhere around those words

I hope that the whole world is watching this so everyone can see what a dangerous nation the USA is. The USA is a very young democracy which basically started as a democracy in 1964. Before that it was exclusively a land owned and in honor or white male Anglo-Saxon men. This means that even if you were white but Spanish or white and Armenian, Jewish or Italian you didn't qualify. I live and teach in EUROPE. I tell my students in my classes, DISCUSSIONS, and even radio programmes to which I've been invited that if you play with fire, even if you don't get burned, you may get slightly hurt. The USA is a TERRORIST nation and should be placed as such by any law-abiding nation out there. It is a nation which foments wars, invades others, grabs your wealth. PLEASE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD. Stop believing the USA is a nation of democratic principles. It is not. It's territoy in its entirety was stolen. The USA is basically a STOLEN LAND, occupied, grabbed from FIRST NATION PEOPLES. It is a land of racial divide and racial hatred. If you want to live in peace, stop associating with THE USA. Limit how many Americans can visit your nation. DO NOT send your children to study in the USA. Do not invest in American businesses. Learn to see the USA as a dangerous nation, which it is.
@@Thankfulsquare ...and you're on drugs. Not at the level to which the USA took it. But yes... I am not ignorant of that.
@@Thankfulsquare ...what makes the USA a hypocrit is the forever boasting that we are a nation of democratic principles and of righteous values and morality.
"The US was not content with what it had" sums up most of America's history.
Or well, evey nation in history for that matter
North America or South America? Or do you mean both?
The us took over Mexico City in the war and could’ve taken all of Mexico because we had the capitol but we didn’t. I get your point though

There is no "go back to where you came from." The whole planet belongs to the whole planet. If you look at the history of our planet, (wo)men have always gone north, south, east and west. People have crossed valleys and mountains. There is only one planet.

@@johnhardy3839 yes i do. It started with a lie and after was deemed by Lincoln and a majority of the US House to be a completely unconstitutional war through and through.

Give it away then ese....
Those of us who understand what America was built on know better than to believe the lies that are spewed about Mexicans & other ethnic groups. It’s not fair or right to judge others just because of where they come from rather than the type of people they are individually. I’m sorry that you’ve been treated with such disgrace. 😞
What do you think Mexico was built on? Rainbows and dreams? Bruh Mexico exists due to the destruction of native cultures

This ☝️ is true as Montana’s 200 year treaty that expired and those (mostly white) land owners and home owners shrug at. This was a slick move played everywhere by land grabbers.
unable to express yourself clearly, often because of emotion
ALL our history should be in the history books so that hopefully future injustices do not occur.
I’m fine with as long as we’re not guilt tripped by it everyday. Everyone gets that the US made its mark in a complicated manner but without it being done you wouldn’t be here today.
Griffin Harrington it is a shame some people feel guilt tripped everyday, however other have to live with the consequences of having their land and culture stolen everyday. I dont agree that by stealing peoples land we are all better off, maybe, just maybe if their lands weren’t stolen we would still be in exact spot in better conditions. 🤔
@@retroultra1212, who wouldn't be here, you? Perhaps if THOSE would've STAYED in the caucus mountains/on THEIR respective planets, NOONES land would've EVER been stolen by force from anyone regardless of skin tone, JUST say'n 🤭.
It already is in the history books. Let's not rewrite them. Everybody kicked Spain out of the western hemisphere, including the Mexicans.
Also, flat out stealing peoples land isnt a complicated manner, it is stealing peoples land.
Native and Mexican was done the same way by government taking they land away we alwayz been here remembering my grandma how much land we had
Mexicans are natives ma'am the border just makes it seems that way like there visitors ..if the Europeans never invaded there would be no border.
@@dickhertz2277you can't say with certainty there would be no border. Times changed, countries invaded and they still do to this day. If not European people, someone else would have. Imagine if the Chinese did, or the Muslims.....

Actually it's the Natives' land, not Mexicans'. Are you Comanche?
@@putler965 Native Americans and Mexicans are one people. The Comanche branched out in all directions in small and large groups, expanding their range to raid into tropical Mexico as far south as Jalisco and Querétaro. The natives of Mexico came from the North, smart one. Several natives lived on both sides of what is now known as Mexico and USA. And natives also lived between what is now known as Canada/US border. Several of the Native American languages are part of the uto-Aztecan family tree....
@@ocelotl7416 Being of Mexican descent does not make you a Comanche, Indeed, the Comanche fought Mexican immigrants just like they fought immigrants from the US. So no, Natives and Mexicans are not "one people." Not even close. But I can tell how little you know about them by that absurd statement. Take a drive to the Navajo Nation in AZ and tell them you're a Navajo because you're Mexican. And let me know when you're going to do it, I need a good laugh.
@@ocelotl7416 And please provide evidence that the Comanche were as far south as tropical Mexico. That would be amazing considering they were from the Great Plains and are related to the Shoshone in Wyoming. Comancheria was in Eastern KS, Eastern CO, North and Central Texas and OK, not the tropics of Mexico.
@@putler965 There were Mexican tribes that had civilizations in the southwest of the USA, they were known as “AirdoAmerica” and “OasisAmerica.” According to scientists who study different cultures, the first Navajo lived in western Canada some one thousand years ago. When this border was created, Indigenous peoples of the region were divided, including the Yaqui, O'odham, Cocopah, Kumeyaay, Pai, Apache, and Kickapoo. These peoples are represented by 26 sovereign plus tribal nations in the United States with tribal relatives residing in Mexico. The northernmost Uto-Aztecan language is Shoshoni, which is spoken as far north as Salmon, Idaho, while the southernmost is the Pipil language of El Salvador. Groups such as the Huron, Algonquin, and Iroquois whose range compromised both Canada and the future U.S.
I didn't even know this maybe they should be teaching this in schools because you have all these ppl going around calling someone else and illegal when they should be really looking at themselves.
Good grief and that’s what you got out of that? These are old stories and everyone wants land, reparations, their “god given right.
Trust me they would not want that back as Mexican land because they would not have the freedom as you do with the United States. Old news from more than a 100 years ago. Many people have suffered. Move forward.
Exactly!
They are here not legally .. Its called illegal dotard
J A
This story they share is one-sided.
Unless history is written wrong (and everybody has their own historical remembrance). The king of Spain stole it first and then the Catholic Church called the natives animals and stole their gold. After that the US allowed them to vote. They voted, and traded money for their land. The treaty of Hidalgo was broken when Pancho Villa cross the border and attacked the US territory.
Open your eyes people were the natives to america not them
I feel like there are still some echoes of this today. Rich people wanting to live in California, especially LA are making it too expensive for people born and raised in California, a land that was ALREADY stolen. It's a spit on the face to those whose land was stolen and who have been treated poorly for centuries all for some people to enjoy "Coastal Cali Life".
True
Who stole the land? The Spanish? The indigenous tribes only occupied less than 1% of the land. However, many were killed by the Spanish who stormed into the territory and gave California its name. Father Serra, the famous Spanish Priest, worked with the indigenous tribes of both California and Mexico, in the late 1700s. Many of the missionaries married tribe members creating additions of a new race: Hispanic or Latino.
@@stefanolorenzo2175 The Spanish tried to come north but then were forced back down south single-handedly by a native tribe the Comanches
@@stefanolorenzo2175 Hispanic or Latino is not a race, it’s a Spanish term used to colonize and confuse Native identity to identify as a european/spaniard unknowingly. Native American people are not from spain, they are from Canada all the way down to Chile
Loco fucker Comanche tribe was in Chihuahua Mexico and N. Texas. The Spanish slaughtered the Comanches in Texas. In Colorado the Spanish had their hands full but conquered the State.
Is that Whoopi narrating? Sounds like her..
Fr tho
@Roger Jones Why can't you stand her? I'm curious
I keep explaining over and over to people the native tribes that occupy California, Oregon, Whyome, Arizona, Texas, New Mexico, Washington, and Nevada today are nothing but the Mexicans that chose to stay in the United States instead of flee deeper into Mexico. During the time of the Mexican war all the western part of the United States, was northern Mexico. What this means is that all the Native Americans from those western states (which use to be northern Mexico), the same people as the native Mexicans. Most of the native population during the Mexican war fled deeper into Mexico ( which was know back then as southern Mexico). What I'm trying to say is that the Indians are alive and stronger than before because the native Mexicans are the Indians and the Native U.S Indians, are the Mexicans the are one and the same.
Precisely, however, majority of the indigenous tribes that you’re talking about did not live in the southwest originally desert because it’s the desert 🥴, those tribes did not go south, because it’s the desert they knew nothing was down there. Majority of indigenous Mexicans live near the Guatemala border.
What you’re getting confused about is the name Mexico Mexico was another slave colony via Spain the Spaniards claim there mix Mexican children. That’s why a lot of Mexicans see them selves as conquistadors (yet they look like George Lopez😂)
@@javionriley8739 Mexico derives the name/word MEXICA which were the hierarchy of the "empire' AZTECA..Azteca is what made up the Mexica territory and NAHUAS were the people.
The question are they considered Mexican or American 😊
My history teacher in ms told me that the U.S owned parts of Mexico, I told my dad about that the day after my history teacher said that and my dad said that it was actually Mexico who owned parts of the US. I noticed abt that just now, I can’t believe my teacher lied to me
I’m sorry to hear that your teacher lied to you
What also is not taught is that Mexicans were also lynched. Never get your history from the people who oppressed you.
Vibin, since we're talking facts, Spain claimed parts of the US for 300 years, Mexico claimed CA, NM, TX for a brief 15 to 25 years. and US since 1848, 170 years. American continent history had been land claims, land disputes, border issues, treaties, independence, border changes, land purchases and war, conquest, and more.
@Heraldo Medrano Correct first language of the US is Spanish. I wish somebody would say that to the dumba$$es when they get mad at someone for speaking Spanish? Every historian says the same thing, American history starts when white people came to the US.
They get paid to lie.
My neice found my dad's New Mexican birth father. Our Gonzalez ancestors came in the 1600s to avoid the Inquisition. (Sephardic Jews.) My dad's birth mother was an Alaskan Native. We are now members of her tribe.
What I find strange is that we learn a lot about America history, world war 2, slaves of black but they never really talked about Mexican history with the U.S. between the land. Only mentioned the war and winning. But never go into detail about it
The winner in the war which is America has rights to not cover Mexican history. If by your opinion they should cover Mexican history, why Mexico does not cover US history in their country? Pretty interesting right? If so, next do not write such kind of ignorant comments because it brightly represents your ignorance of how World works!
guess why they don't talk much about it - its like that question to young American after the Vietnam war: :"so, what did you father did in the war", and they were not asking about their father's job, but rather killing innocent civilians, raping little girls, and burning people alive in their own house, all in the name of "democracy", yeah, right, what a joke of a country.
@@Madikon07 *Mexican history with the U.S.* here, read again
Then why did I learn in school about the Alamo, General Santa Ana (who sold his people out, by the way), Conquest of Mexico, Treaty of Hildago, Vicente Guerro, and so much more. NOW, you tell me all the Black history you were taught besides slavery and MLK, since according to you that is all schools teach.
@@Madikon07 ok so say I kill your family, does that give me “right” to cover up all the evidence. No they never had the “right” to come here with ill intentions in the first place so reverse that thinking
In a lot of cases if the family didn't sell, the land was taxed from underneath them.
This! Its a system designed to swindle
No no.. they were lynched
Eminent Domain
Most Anglo Americans today are of German ancestry who mostly came to America in the 1900s way after the dust had settled.
Truth
Wish more came
They're not anglos. Anglos are from parts of Denmark and the UK. Anglos are an ethnic group. Most were assimilated or close to it by now
During WW2 alot of germans were assaulted, had to change their names to english names to avoic being targeted
Wrong they're mixed Scottish/English and a bit of Irish
This is my family's story is the same. We've lived in what is now Austin,Texas for generations. Now we own 1 peice of the several we owned. Doesn't help that Austin is so popular now
texas was damn near empty, most mexicans before 1848 did not live above what is now modern mexico it was a desert
The vast majority of Tejanos fought for Texas independence.
That was probably your forbears. Quit whining and accept that you are American.
Does anybody know good academic sources on this topic? I want to do a presentation for school🙂
You might want to try the General Accounting Office GAO on NM land grants website.
You may want into look at the Mexican Repatriation when US citizens were deported to Mexico
Try “A Glorious Defeat”. The author postulates that the only reason Mexico, at the time corrupt, chaotic, unjust, survived as a nation was that they unified in defeat after Mex-Am war. They acquired needed capital by selling northern territories to the U.S. most of these territories were settled by Americans anyways. Before the war, governed by the hated Mexican Army, hence the legend of Zorro. Poorly governed an taxed without benefit. Californios almost universally supported acquisition by the U.S. we paid Mexico more for their northern lands than we paid Spain, Russia, and Britain for the Oregon Territory, The
Alaska, and Florida combined.
Mexico $15 million plus about $3 million in debt forgiveness.
Spain, $5 million in debt foregiveness
Russia, $7.2 million
Britain, goose egg.
We did pay France $15 million for the LP.

There is no Spanish “colonial” period, New Spain was a Viceroyalty not a colony
That was colonialism buddy its juat wording to make spain seem less brutal by few historians everyone calls them colonial and for good reason
At the end of the day spain was still the master and nothing would operate without spains orders although they had more liberty than centrla or south americs they really didnt . Spain was brutal in the regions it ruled especially in the early stages of the colonization. Anyone who says what you said is clearly trying to make spain look better and as honest historians we dont care about making nations feel good we mus tbe unbiased and spain was an empire meaning they were the masters regardless of words like "viceroylalty"
That's cute, how the commentator said "both countries "worked" up an agreement." Almost like when ⚪ America says " they bought their slaves" therefore they shouldn't ask for reparations. 😒
That's just too correct and I can't agree more with anyone.. How's the weather over there and where are you watching from?

no
most Mexicans were on the border of Guam Mexico, the people that had the border dispute with USA where the white Spaniards via Spain that created Mexico
There are descendants of Mexican Americans who could claim territory before 1848.
This is just another wrongdoing on part of the United States government who had also broken treaties with the tribes here the same as what this video is about in regards to their treaty.
This government continues to break treaties today that tribes have to fight in protest against.
A lot of people ignore the wrongs on behalf of the United States government.
As well as Morenos
Nope because it American land now and most of those families moved from Central Mexico onto native land themselves
It wouldnt be many because those areas were not well populated
@@ALYoungFuture13morenos weren’t Mexican
Honor the treaty
Cities all over the U.S. have had centuries with Spanish names, yet Anglo Americans think the mixed indigenous and Spanish "Mexicans" are the foreigners. Those Mexicans were Americans before and after the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. Racists will always redefine what it is to be American.
Do you know that America is the enormous country that swaps acroos West and East coasts? So building up USA started from the East and as every country expanded. As a result we have today Americans who are true owners of this land. Take as an example Spain which stole many Catalan, Basque lands and proclaimed them as Spanish. Plus murdered all of the natives in the Americas. Do you think that your country is innocent? Of course not, btw, there is no nationality as mexican, do you mean spanish and mix of natives? Yeah of course they are seperate nations that put under the same name and as result got MEXICAN like nationality. Your comment is ignorant and hypocrite in all of aspects.

@@Madikon07 The Spanish did not murder all of the Natives. They killed the warriors, the soldiers, and forced the leftover men to be loyal to Spain. Then they took the women Natives as concubines (almost no Spanish women initially came to the colonies, and the Spanish Church was more lax than other Euro nations about intermixing). The Southwest of the US were especially Natives and Mestizos because many fled to the north to escape the conquest and Spanish occupation of the major cities.

I hope that the whole world is watching this so everyone can see what a dangerous nation the USA is. The USA is a very young democracy which basically started as a democracy in 1964. Before that it was exclusively a land owned and in honor or white male Anglo-Saxon men. This means that even if you were white but Spanish or white and Armenian, Jewish or Italian you didn't qualify. I live and teach in EUROPE. I tell my students in my classes, DISCUSSIONS, and even radio programmes to which I've been invited that if you play with fire, even if you don't get burned, you may get slightly hurt. The USA is a TERRORIST nation and should be placed as such by any law-abiding nation out there. It is a nation which foments wars, invades others, grabs your wealth. PLEASE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD. Stop believing the USA is a nation of democratic principles. It is not. It's territoy in its entirety was stolen. The USA is basically a STOLEN LAND, occupied, grabbed from FIRST NATION PEOPLES. It is a land of racial divide and racial hatred. If you want to live in peace, stop associating with THE USA. Limit how many Americans can visit your nation. DO NOT send your children to study in the USA. Do not invest in American businesses. Learn to see the USA as a dangerous nation, which it is.

Your language, art , mathematics, transports , religion, plumbing , guns , horses, all comes from Asia, Africa , America and the Middle East. That’s ignorant of you to tell anybody where they would be or what they’d know

You declare who lives and dies and who gets to lives where. Humans ( your ancestors ) existed 200,000 years before Europe melted, if you think Africans ( and other continent/ countries) just started inventing and moving around you should do more research and less trolling. Have respect It’s all (y)our history
Rentals Mass it was their culture though ! Those same cultures made beautiful cities and art. They made a city on the water way before thought possible. Europe has some of the most gruesome time periods. In the medieval times they were making poor people fight lions, tigers , and bears lol. They were killing each other to entertain some Humans born in power. They use to hang people , chop their head off or burn them in front of the town for any petty crime. Come on now

It keeps Mexicans poor, and keeps Mexico a country Mexicans can never be proud of. Maybe Mexican-Americans are proud of a concept of there motherland, but thats because they don't have to live there. Hear it from a Mexican from Mexico they'll tell you.
Native American is the only cultural root in the US
Crazy that you don’t learn about these types of things in school.

Whoever is surprised by this is uneducated... Europeans immigrants have been taking land that's not native to them from time ago... America is my favourite comedian, my favourite line is when they talk about Mexicans as Immigrant. Only if you know the actual history behind what makes America...
*"Europeans immigrants have been taking land"*
Mexicans would know, their ancestors were the first Europeans to colonize the area and take land that did not belong to them.

This is a huge theme in a novel I'm reading right now for school: "Caballero: A Historical Novel," by Jovita Gonzalez and Eve Raleigh. It takes place in South Texas, 1846.

@@iwi2042 Excpet theres a huge diffrence. The land was taken when it was it was called New Spain and the goal was to integrate the native population into New Spain. So you're right, there is a reason Mexico is full of brown people who speak Spanish. Meanwhile, the US exterminated the native populations. It's hard to compare the 2 countries when the Natives that got their land stolen from "Mexico" literally live in Mexico today. And in the United States, the descendants of the pilgrims celebrate Thanksgiving because the Patuxet people saved their ancestors but the descendants of the Patuxet people don't celebrate because they literally do not exist as their ancestors were exterminated.

Not from Mexico lol. In New Mexico we were part of Mexico for what? 20 years at most and during that time most of our people identified as Spanish and wanted autonomy and independence because Mexicans unfairly taxed New Mexicans and Texans
@@eliseomartinez7911 Most claimed Spanish because they were brainwashed into thinking they were Spanish. Some were, but genetic research shows that Mexicans and Mexican Americans, especially the ones in northern Mexico and now Southwest US, are like some of the least Spanish of all of Mexico with the exception of reservations in the south. After the conquest, many natives escaped to the north. In fact Mexico and central America are the most Native of Latin America.

U.S. took it by force, including the people who never surrendered, controlled by American private treasury banks by selling it to American settlers who originally came from back east and the south, settled in for their generations.
It’s so sad that indigenous people (both Native Americans and the Indigenous people of Latin America) were so badly treated and we learn nothing about it in school. I’m from a Latin American family, and I can only track back my family three generations on both sides, before that, nothing is available for me to find about them. It’s such an unfortunate gap in the history of my family that I wished I knew.
Same! I wish I could trace back more of my history as well.
This video was enlightening. They don’t teach this history in school.
about 80% of mexicans are considered native in the us…
Don’t compare tribes together and must of us native in the USA still wants to deport back those Mexicans. If Mexicans have so much pride why don’t they go back and fix their country.

My great grandmother was born a Yaqui in Tucson AZ and ever since La Mesilla territory was sold to the US our family has been a Trans borders family. Today we spread all the way to Canada, a true Nafta family.
..In Mexico in the years 1890-1915 my Grandma's Family in Mexico had land in Mexico but that land was redistributed (or confiscated) during one of the Mexican Revolutions of the 1900s. At age 15 in year 1915, my Grandma fled to the North (US ) and met my Grandpa. Her brother fled South never to be seen. Born in 1900 my Grandma lived to 100 years of age. War is tragedy. I often wonder if my family can go back to Mexico and reclaim our family's land. I don't think that would be possible.

You don’t need the land. The land is internal on your heart
K pena primo, try, dont give up, maybe one day your familia will get it back. Never loose faith...
Unfortunately, land grants were eliminated by the Mexican government around the early 1990s.
Your land was redistributed to your Native American slaves. Land that your ancestors stole from Native Americans & also enslaved raped & murdered at lesuire.
Yes 👍 my family is one these family David Luna Ortiz apart of Northern California since 1818
Were they particularly complaining about being Americans and not ruled by Spain? Nobody liked being ruled by Spain. They were driven completely out of the western hemisphere.
Dave Luna the Lunas have been around a long time. Mine go back to the Huichol.
So when I worked in real estate a few years back, I had a very knowledgeable broker that explained to me that the way that they circumvented the Hidalgo treaty was the way in which the plot were divided the way of doing things were the land needed to be surveyed and clear lines drawn, whereas the Mexicans didn’t do it that way, so they weren’t honored. The way they did it was, like the woman in the video said the beginning from the top mountain to the top of another no cleared definitive line surveyed and because they couldn’t prove that to the Americans after the war it was disregarded and new lines drawn, and the land taken
Kind of suspected something like this but never really wondered what happened to the Mexican citizens that became American after the war.
Hopefully something does happen but frankly it seems you’ll be lucky if you get some wack apology like when Clinton had to apologize for US involvement in overthrowing the Hawaiian monarchy and stealing Hawaii
Look Yes what the United States did was pretty messed up but I am grateful and proud to be on this Side of United states because I know if we were run by Mexico right now things would be different so it’s bittersweet
So the extermination of native americans sit well with you as long as you are on the USA side??? You do know that America got rich off of Texas and california that was the whole reason for the invasion they knew gold and oil were in Mexico. Wealth that belonged to Mexico. And Mexico would have NEVER exterminated the indiginous populations. Mexicans consider indigenous people are ancestors.
They took are land from us in monterey California and are land grants from us and are Ranchos we were make us Americans but I'm a Mexican Indian! It will all turn around!
My 6th cousin Gen. Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo owned 66,000 acres before the treaty of Hidalgo . When Mexico became the U.S he fought 10 years took it to the supreme court. In the end he only had 200 acres i believe. President Lincoln was said to tell John C. Freemont to obtain California at all cost. He was part if the fiag revoult in California. Putting gen. Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo in jail for two months and when he came out it was the U.S. not mexico anymore.
Yet Blacks gain on 'repreparations'! NET natives STILL come LAST!
funny how we Mexican-Americans and Anglo-Americans often argue and debate this issue, but we are forgetting the decedents of the Karawankas, Comanches, Tiguas, Apache who lived here before Spain even landed in modern day Bahamas.
Difference is this a legal document and US goverment must honor it.
They actually have reservations and recieve free tuition and other types of welfare. The mexicans that lost their country and land got a big fat O. No money no reservation NOTHING at least the native americans to this day get something even land.
When people ask me where my family is from I tell them New Mexico and no one knows what I’m talking about.
And people still have the audacity to say that they hate how there’s ppl speaking Spanish ! Along w racial slurs
THIS IS THE HISTORY OF TOO MANY FAMILIES LIKE MINE AS WELL ,,,,ALSO UNTIL PRESENT DAYS , WE ARE TREATED AS A FOREIGNERS IN OUR OWN LAND 🥲 ,,, 🇲🇽✊🏼🇺🇸 !!
I had always said that the first Americans been the Native Americans along with Mexicans.
My daughter has a boy friend from the most southern part of Mexico. He is native. He didn't learn Spanish until he was taught it in secondary school.
But I believe almost all Mexicans are mestizo.

So when the Spaniards who drew the original boundaries were chased out of Mexico the North American Indians were citizens of Mexico for 13 years be default? What about the European conquistadors who drew the lines without consultation of the native inhabitants? The Europeans all knew each other and had been fighting with each other for 2000 years. This part gets omitted somehow.
You omitted the part of history where Africans colonised and enslaved Spain and Portugal, for eight hundred years.
Nobody gave a damn about the natives. Colonizers dont ask for permission. When Mexico kicked the spaniards out The natives would have had it better however it wasnt permanent because here came the American to invade and steak the land and the extermination of natives began somethjng had it continues to be Mexico would have never happened.
I read about the original Mexican family of oakland they owned the entire land of oakland california. When The Mexican-American War was over Americans started to move into California and this dirty American lawyer approached this family and made them sign paper work in english knowing that the did not know how to speak or read english.
