New Mexico was first settled by the Clovis culture of paleo-neolithic
peoples (Folsom man) in 11, 500 bc, long before the native Americans
made it to the east coast. It has been occupied by very large
civilizations ever since. Various neo lithic cultures in the period
7000-1000 bc from which most of the arrowheads in New Mexico originated
in southeastern and northeaster New Mexico. Since then various basket
makers, the Chaco culture and then the Pueblos, Hopi, Zuni. The late
comers are the Navajo, Apache, Kiowa, Utes, Commance, etc. In 1540
Coronado arrives and gave the navtive Americans horses in New Mexico;
then various other expeditions, then Onate came and settled near the San
Juan pueblo near Velarde. Later the Mormons with General Kearny at their
head conquered New Mexico, Arizona and California and discovered gold at
the mill they were building for Sutter in California. They were not
allowed in Salt Lake without bringing money. Their wives and children
were stuck in Pueblo, CO. So I laughed my head off when touring Salem,
MA when they said, "this is the oldest standing church in the USof A."
There are churches in New Mexico that were built before anyone stepped
foot in Massachusetts. The french were here in 1531, the dutch in 1609
and the swedes in 1638. The Constitution of the United States was
plagerized from the Iriquois Nation. But yet all I hear is "This is an
English nation". And thats not counting the ship builders, fisherman and
immigrants from Ireland, Portugal, Italy, Greece, etc. England no longer
glorifies their empire, but we have some idiots----never mind, the U.S.
propaganda we teach in our schools is amazing to me. Just remember if it
had not been for the French and a German military man, the 13 colonies
would have lost the revolution and the west would be Mexico.
