Neomexicano

Neomexicano is a term used to describe people who have Mexican ancestry but were born and raised in the state of New Mexico in the United States.

Imagine you have a toy car that was made in Mexico, but you live in a house in New Mexico. Similarly, neomexicanos have roots that come from Mexico but they live in a different place now.

Neomexicanos often have a unique culture that combines both Mexican and American elements, like having celebrations that include both traditional Mexican food and American-style barbecue.

It is important to remember that while neomexicanos have a connection to Mexico, they are also Americans and their culture reflects that combination of influences from different places.
