MAY 22, 2001 Foregoing a number of national origin classifications, majority of Hispanics in New Mexico consider themselves "other Hispanic" when asked the question on the Census 2000. The phenomenon was most evident in northern New Mexico, the location of the state's first capitol and where Spanish explorers first settled. It is also home to a number of Pueblos, where intermarriage is common.

Many also differentiate themselves from recent Mexican immigrants. Get the Story:
