(Indians) when speaking Spanish (Castilian) and I think that it also true in Spain. How do I know this? My family came to the US from Spain. I lived in New Mexico and not only did my fellow Hispanics continue to call Native Americans ?Indians? when speaking English, the Pueblo people in New Mexico also called themselves Indians, and they preferred Indian to Native American (a term they regarded as an Anglo invention, irrelevant to them). Understand that the Pueblo Indians, who constitute the majority of the Native Americans in NM, prefer to speak Spanish among themselves and they all have Hispanic names. They lived under Spanish rule for 210 years and Mexican rule for 27. There has been an effort among some of the younger Indians to revive their native languages (there are actually three Pueblo languages) but Spanish is still very much the everyday language of the New Mexico Pueblos. -- Chris Crawford Fine Art Photography Fort Wayne, Indiana 260-437-8990 http://www.chriscrawfordphoto.com My portfolio http://www.facebook.com/pages/Christopher-Crawford/48229272798 Become a fan on Facebook On 6/19/17, 6:31 AM, "LUG on behalf of Douglas Barry" <lug-bounces+chris=chriscrawfordphoto.com at leica-users.org on behalf of imra at iol.ie> wrote: >Lluis, while I like both, I particularly like the stance of the woman, >even though I don't approve of smoking.
