New Mexico Information

New
Mexico is a state located in the southwestern region of the United States.
Inhabited by Native American populations for many centuries, it has also been part
of the Imperial Spanish viceroyalty of New Spain, part of Mexico, and a U.S.
territory. Among U.S. states, New Mexico has the highest percentage of Hispanics at
45% (2008 estimate),being
descendants of Spanish colonists and recent immigrants from Latin
America.
It also has the third-highest percentage of Native Americans after Alaska and
Oklahoma, and the fifth-highest total number of Native Americans after California,
Oklahoma, Arizona, and Texas. The tribes represented in the state consist of mostly
Navajo and Pueblo peoples. As a result, the demographics and culture of the state
are unique for their strong Hispanic, Mexican, and Native American cultural
influences. At a population density of 16 per square mile, New Mexico is the sixth
most sparsely inhabited
U.S. state.
