Lobos y Lowriders: Cultura y comunidad on campus
By Marcela Johnson @dailylobo
The second annual Lobos y Lowriders event on Sept. 18 was one of several events that kicked off Hispanic Heritage Month at the University of New Mexico, bringing New Mexican car culture and community to campus.
Sponsored by the Chicana and Chicano studies department and the Student Activity Center, the Cornell Mall held 12 cars — twice as many as last year. Valerie Chavez, a CCS doctoral student, organized the event for the second time.
“My main goal with throwing the event is to have as much representation of the lowrider community as possible,” Chavez said. “So the more people from the lowrider community I can get here, the better.”
Chavez worked in collaboration with Parking and Transportation Services employee Gilbert Chavez — who has also been involved with the lowrider community for a long time — to get vehicles to the event.
The event also grew with the addition of a food truck, an appearance from Lobo Louie and live music from DJ Dolla Bill, according to Valerie.
Student-led car club InteliGente
tabled at the event for the second year. Dominique Rodríguez — InteliGente co-founder and CCS doctoral student — talked about the importance of having a space for car culture on campus.
“One of the main things that we’re trying to do with the club is create spaces where we can bring all of these parts of ourselves instead of feeling like we have to leave certain parts of our culture and our identity,” Rodríguez said.
Dante Olivas — CCS graduate student and InteliGente member — seconded that sentiment. He said these events bridge the gap between academics and culture.
“The University has done some pushback with a lot of the things that we want here, but to have them be like, ‘You know what, this is a great event, I think we should do it again, how can we support you?’ That is definitely a great attitude shift,” Olivas said.
Valerie said that growing up in Albuquerque, she noticed many residents identified with the UNM Lobos regardless of whether they attended the university.
“For me, it was important for them to be able to be invited on campus,” Valerie said. “It’s just as important for students as it is for the lowriders to be able to come here, to actually
come here.”
In terms of community outreach, InteliGente is beginning the process of building a lowrider bicycle, Rodríguez said. The club will do outreach with local middle and high schools to build the bicycle as well as discuss their experiences as Chicane university students, Rodríguez said.
Rodríguez brought her classic truck, which she has been working on for 11 years, to the event. Being able to bring it to campus was “like a dream come true,” she said.
“I’ve been dreaming about having a classic truck and participating in shows since I was a little kid, so it’s an incredible feeling,” Rodríguez said.
Valerie expressed interest in continuing the event in the future, and Olivas said InteliGente hopes to hold it by Zimmerman Library, where there would be more space for the cars.
“I’d love to see a bounce,” Olivas said, referring to the bouncing of the cars.
The next InteliGente meeting is on Oct. 4. All are welcome to join, regardless of vehicle ownership.

In the green: Meet a New Mexican green chile roaster
By Addison Fulton & Elijah Ritch @dailylobo
In all of its varieties, chile is a staple of New Mexican culture and cuisine. Chile composes iconic dishes such as chile relleno and posole; ristras are strung up everywhere; and even the state’s official question, “Red or green?” references New Mexicans’ deep love
for their peppers.
Jhett Browne is a chile roaster and seller whose family has been in the chile business since 1962. Roasted green chile did not become popular until around the 1980s, though Browne’s family began roasting its chile in 1977.
“We start roasting every year in August. We roast typically (in) August, September and October,” Browne said.
Green chile grows so well in New Mexico thanks, in part, to the warm climate, according to New Mexico State University. Chile plants are incredibly sensitive to even light frost and temperatures under 60 degrees Fahrenheit. They require long periods of warm weather, which New Mexico provides.
Browne explained that the “godfather” of New Mexican green chile is a horticulturalist named Fabián García, who developed a chile known as New Mexico No. 9, the first truly New Mexican chile. This variety exhibited the traits New Mexican chile is best known for: a low, almost sweet heat and thick, flat pods. Subsequent varieties, such as the Big Jim and the Sandia peppers, were cultivated from New Mexico No. 9.
García sponsored scholarships to help Hispanic Americans get into school back in the early 1900s, Browne said. García was also the first Hispanic person to be named director of research at a United States land grant univer-
sity, according to NMSU. Green chile’s presence in New Mexico is entwined with the historical presence of Indigenous and Hispanic people in the region, according to Browne.
“It has a lot to do with different Native American tribes using different land-grown chiles,” Browne said. “But, because that area was colonized by Spain, the overarching culture and diaspora is based on the Spanish language and Spanish culture.”
Although green chile fever has taken over America, with all types of products popping up in grocery stores thousands of miles away from Hatch — deemed the “chile capital of the world” — chile growth is threatened by an outside force: climate change. Like much of the global agricultural industry, rising temperatures and changing precipitation levels have wreaked havoc on chile crops across the Southwest.
There has been more heat stress on chile plants in recent years, Browne said. Last year, for example, it was hard to get ahold of fresh and dried red chile. A lack of water has also been negatively impacting the industry, he said. Farmers and plants alike are adapting to the changing climate. Chile is developing to adjust to harsher environments when it comes to heat, Browne said.
Green chile is a major part of New Mexico’s past, and it will likely be a part of its future.
“A lot of people make new friends here, too. It’s a New Mexican town hall,” Browne said. “People come together, meet new people (and) get ideas.”
Journalist Jeff Proctor moved to New Mexico in 2002. Though he has always been a fan of green chile, he said it took him a while to warm up to the pepper as a pizza topping. Recently, he posted on X about how he changed his mind, and the post blew up.
“I’ve been a journalist for 22 years,” Proctor said. “It crushes my soul that I’ve been sharing journalism on that website for more than a decade, and nothing ever got anywhere close to that much engagement. It was a wild thing to observe.”
New Mexicans don’t get to have a lot of nice things that are uniquely ours, Proctor said.
“Everybody recognizes us as the greatest at something,” Proctor said. “And, you know, chile is one of those things. So it’s part of the sort of national zeitgeist and culture in that way, I think.”

Rudolfo Anaya: Autor, padrino y profesor
‘Godfather’ of Chicano literature remembered during Hispanic Heritage Month
By Marcela Johnson @dailylobo
Prolific writer Rudolfo Anaya has deep ties to the University of New Mexico. Known especially for his first book, “Bless Me, Ultima,” Anaya received three degrees from UNM and served as a professor emeritus in the English department before his death in 2020.
Anaya is a foundational figure in Chicana and Chicano studies, acording to English department associate professor Melina Vizcaíno-Alemán.
“He really put Chicano literature on the map — and I would say even more specifically New Mexico — in the larger national literary scene,” Vizcaíno-Alemán said.
While at UNM in 1989, Anaya founded the Blue Mesa Review, a literary magazine run by graduate students in the Master of Fine Arts program, according to its website.
“As a landscape of intersectionality and diversity, the Southwest is the perfect place for beautiful intersectional art to grow, and Anaya, a creative writing instructor at the time, charged Blue Mesa Review with tending those roots in our community,” the website reads.
Anaya developed the creative writing program at UNM and donated money to establish both a scholarship for the English MFA program and a ten-year lecture series, Vizcaíno-Alemán said.
The lecture series ended with a lecture from Joy Harjo, the first Indigenous United States Poet Laureate and a former student of Anaya’s.
Myrriah Gómez — an associate
professor in the Honors College — said that although Anaya was awarded both a National Medal of the Arts and a National Humanities Medal by two sitting presidents, his influence can be underestimated.
“We take for granted the immense influence of Anaya’s work on American literature because he was a native New Mexican, but he is known as the padrino (godfather) of Chicano literature,” Gómez said.
Gómez teaches a 300-level course in the Honors College about Anaya.
“If we can teach Shakespeare, Milton and Chaucer, then why not also teach Anaya as a literary great?” Gómez said. “I also try not to romanticize his work. In fact, some of his writing is pretty problematic, but it’s important that we look at his writing closely and fully. I hope to continue his legacy by introducing students to his work.”
People enjoy Anaya’s work because of the way he characterizes the Southwest and his characters, Vizcaíno-Alemán said.
“Mr. Anaya was very dedicated to the people of the place,” VizcaínoAlemán said. “His work is really rich in the way that he characterizes both the people and the place of New Mexico in particular — but the Southwest more broadly.”
Madison Hogans, an undergraduate senior in Honors Interdisciplinary Liberal Arts and English, said Anaya impacted her “in the way that finding an old friend at the bus stop does.”
“I’ve always been told to be proud of my Mexican identity, but Anaya was a fellow author that understood how that upbringing shapes you, and how beautiful it is to carry it on,” Hogans said.
Arts and Sciences Center for Academic Success education specialist Chris Chaves said he felt a connection to Anaya when stud ying in the Zimmerman Library space that Anaya references in his “Magic of Words” essay. Anaya also acted as positive Latino representation for him, Chaves said.
“I identified with him as a Latino male lover of writing, of literature,
of intellectual engagement,” Chaves said. “Back then, the Latino male image in the media was super negative.”
Anaya was born in a small town in Guadalupe County called Pastura.
With Anaya’s rural New Mexican upbringing, he did not have to look to other countries for inspiration, Chaves said.
The Rudolfo Anaya Sala — a space in Zimmerman Library dedicated to
Anaya — will have its grand opening followed by a UNM Alumni Lobo Living Room event on Oct. 17. Chaves will read an interpretation of the “Magic of Words” essay at the event.

OPINION: What does Hispanic identity mean in New Mexico?
Hispanic, Latino, Chicano, Mexican American, Hispano, Nuevomexicano — what are we?
By Lauren Lifke @lauren_lifke
If you’ve spent time in New Mexico, chances are you’ve met somebody with a Spanish last name who doesn’t speak a lick of the language. If you ask about their background, they might just say they’re Hispanic without mentioning a connection to any specific Spanish-speaking region.
I’ve been one of these people. Growing up in Albuquerque, I never felt the need to elaborate any further than “Hispanic” when describing the ethnicity of my mom’s side of the family, and it wasn’t often that people inquired any further.
I first felt challenged about my identity when I was 18 and filling out a college application. I expected my usual routine of checking “white” for race and “Hispanic/Latino” for ethnicity. But this application required me to input my specific background. The options were Cuban, Mexican/ Chicano, Puerto Rican, Latin American and “other.”
I had to text my mom to figure out which box to check.
“Of Spanish origin. I.e. from Spain,” she wrote.
I could’ve sworn this wasn’t quite the case. After a quick and confusing phone call with her, I checked the boxes for “other” and “Mexican/Chicano,” not entirely understanding what that meant for us.
It wasn’t until I left the state that I learned this widespread misunderstanding and disconnect from our Hispanic roots is a pretty uniquely New Mexican experience.
For my freshman year of college, I went to a predominately white institution on the east coast. I do benefit from white privilege — I inherited my Anglo dad’s German last name and many of his physical features — and never experienced
the racism that Hispanic and Latino communities often face.
Living outside of New Mexico, I found myself having to explain my identity more often. This prompted me to do my own research on New Mexican history and my ancestry.
To sum up a complicated history: Spanish colonization included the areas that are now known as Mexico and New Mexico. There, Spaniards mixed with Indigenous populations. Their mixed-race descendants — and the “stereotypical” image of what constitutes a Hispanic or Latino person — were known as mestizos, according to the “Journal of Linguistic Geography.”
Part of this area became known as Mexico, which then included present-day New Mexico. The mestizo populations that lived in now-New Mexico were Mexican. When the United States took possesion of New Mexico in the 1800s, its residents were given the choice of moving further south to Mexico or staying where they were, according to the University of Houston.
My ancestors stayed in their town just south of Albuquerque called Belén, where I spent a lot of time growing up. Those who stayed were pressured to conform to white and non-Hispanic — or Anglo — society. They started associating more with their European side and identifying strictly as Spaniards.
Still though, their language was looked down upon, and they stopped teaching their kids Spanish because they could be punished for speaking it.
My grandma is the last person left in my immediate family who fluently speaks Spanish.
I now understand why my mom identifies as a Spaniard. The term “Hispanic” encapsulates all Spanish-speaking populations, including Spain. I started to feel more comfortable identifying as “Latina” — a term that encapsulates people
from all of Latin America but not Spain. I still felt a disconnect, however, especially because I don’t speak Spanish.
A few months after doing my research, an Anglo peer called me “Miss Latina with no fucking evidence.”
It isn’t my fault that my grandparents didn’t pass down the language to my mother, or that they even felt the need to let the language and identity die with them in the first place. They were forced to assimilate and drop all “evidence” of their Latinidad, and now I was experiencing the effects.
I educated my peer and continued to do more research. I found that “Chicano” is a term for people of Mexican descent born in the United States. People from New Mexico who identified as Hispanic — or sometimes Hispano or Nuevomexicano — played a big role in the Chicano movement in the 1960s, according to History.
I now find that “Chicana” best encapsulates my identity, while many of my family members continue to identify as just Hispanic.
A few months ago, though, I spoke with my uncle. He told me his biggest regret in life is never learning Spanish fluently because of assimilation.
This was the first time in my adult life that I’ve felt connected to my own identity through a family member who cares about preserving our culture and understanding our history. He told me something that I’d never heard a family member say out loud, which gave me hope about the validation and preservation of our identity.
“You’re Mexican American,” he said. “Don’t forget that.”

Defiance in definitions: Reflections on the southern New Mexican identity
By Marcela Johnson @dailylobo
I will be the first to admit I grew up confused by the New Mexican identity because it is a mixture of so many different heritages and experiences. Trying to understand myself and my community through the lens of a Mexican American from southern New Mexico feels like a full-time job.
I grew up in Silver City, New Mexico, in a very proud Mexican/Midwestern household. My siblings and I were lucky that we were never told to deny our heritage. While I was allowed to be proud of my Mexican heritage, this was in part because I am also white and don’t have racist views directed toward me. Not everyone has that privilege.
I believed during my childhood that New Mexican culture was defined by a superiority toward those who did not have or claim Spanish blood because of the constant denial of Mexican influence in creating New Mexican culture.
Growing up in the south with little interaction with northerners, I thought this denial was all there was, and the northerners I knew held this belief to varying degrees. I did not have enough familiarity with New Mexican culture to know any different.
I knew people who vehe-
mently denied being Mexican despite their heritage. Some of them felt more connected to a New Mexican identity. There were others, though, who viewed having Mexican heritage as shameful. I once had a history teacher who told me that Mexicans were the result of the mixing of Spanish and Indigenous bloodlines. Not New Mexican, but Mexican. These ideas are not new.
To be clear, the Indigenous peoples of Mexico existed long before the conquistadors came. They and their mixed descendants continue to fight for their culture and rights. Oaxaca Ingobernable, an exhibit in the Hibben Center, showcases resistance art by Indigenous and Black Oaxacan communities in Mexico and the United States.
One of my favorite pieces published in “Limina: UNM Nonfiction Review,” titled “I Was Not Touched from the Waist Down,” was published in 2002 and details the struggles within New Mexican culture and labels. The piece investigates the discourse around the theft of a statue of La Conquistadora, which is the title for an aspect of the Virgin Mary in some parts of Santa Fe and northern New Mexico.
As I read the piece, I noticed a difference between southwestern New Mexico Mexican American perceptions and northern Hispanic
perceptions of the Virgin Mary. I grew up with stories about how she appeared to Mexican Indigenous people like Cuauhtlatoatzin — or Juan Diego — to show love and encouragement, which made her feel much less like a conquering presence. When I moved to Albuquerque for college, I met many New Mexicans from all around the state. I met people with varying amounts of Mexican, Indigenous and Spanish heritage who had created a beautiful culture. These new friends were a part of a culture that did not demean the populations with Indigenous and Mexican heritage.
I learned that things my Mexican American family does are occasionally more New Mexican than strictly Mexican. I found joy in the community made up of people who share heritage and live in New Mexico, and not once was I made to feel ashamed of my personal history. My newfound joy was only possible through a decolonialized attitude. Community is so important in everything we do. As a community, we need to fight against superiority and embrace a commitment to culture and understanding and working for decolonization.

Keeping traditional New Mexican Spanish alive
By Maria Fernandez @dailylobo
You may have never seen this hidden jewel in New Mexico, but there’s a chance you’ve heard it: a dialect of Spanish native to the Land of Enchantment.
Traditional New Mexican Spanish is a dialect developed nearly 400 years ago as medieval Spanish blended with Mexican Spanish and the languages of the Indigenous peoples of northern New Mexico, according to the Associated Press. This fusion of language formed a local parlance not found anywhere else in the world.
Simon Romero, an international correspondent for the New York Times, published an article in 2023
on the topic. The article followed years of interest in New Mexican Spanish, which stayed with him as he traveled around the world.
Romero, who was born and raised in New Mexico, detailed his findings to the Daily Lobo.
“New Mexico’s isolation during the colonial period shaped the development of traditional New Mexican Spanish. My ancestors, who had arrived in New Mexico in 1598, helped to nurture and develop the language across the centuries,” Romero wrote to the Daily Lobo. “While I had often heard that New Mexican Spanish was similar to the Spanish spoken in Spain centuries ago, I also learned that this was something of a myth. In reality, New Mexican Spanish is much more similar to the Spanish of northern Mexico.”
Romero grew up in the rural New Mexican town of Ribera, surrounded by speakers of New Mexican Spanish. It was the language of his family, including his grandmother, who lived in the village of Manzano — located 58 miles southeast of Albuquerque.
After publishing the article, Romero “heard from so many people, not just in the United States but in other countries, with roots in New Mexico,” he wrote.
These people wanted to learn more about the language their ancestors spoke, Romero wrote. Linguists also contacted him.
The small population of New Mexican Spanish speakers is aging, and some members of the younger generations aren’t learning the language. This makes efforts to preserve New Mexican Spanish even more essential — especially for the Hispanic commu-
nities who have spoken the language for hundreds of years, according to Romero’s article.
The University of New Mexico has also played a role in keeping New Mexican Spanish alive.
The Spanish as a Heritage Language program at UNM helps students foster an appreciation for their dialects of Spanish. Use of traditional New Mexican Spanish declined as schools during the mid-20th century started stigmatizing students who spoke in their Spanish dialects or Indigenous languages rather than in English, according to UNM Newsroom.
The National Hispanic Cultural Center started the Legacy Project in 2023, an effort to record New Mexican Spanish and ensure the dialect is properly archived and protected, according to the Albuquerque Journal.
Keeping something as invaluable as New Mexican Spanish alive is essential, Romero wrote, because once it is lost, it’s gone forever.
“New Mexican Spanish is a treasure, and it’s astounding for it to have survived until now, nearly 200 years after New Mexico became part of the United States,” Romero wrote. “I’ve seen how languages can not only be saved from extinction but revived, as in the case of Hawaii where efforts to preserve the Hawaiian language have advanced. New Mexico can do the same if we set our minds to it.”

Santa Fe obelisk trial awaits final decision
By Maria Fernandez @dailylobo
The two-day trial to determine whether a controversial toppled obelisk will be returned to the center of the Santa Fe Plaza concluded on Sept. 13. A final decision has not yet been made.
The obelisk displayed a plaque at the bottom that contained derogatory language toward Indigenous people. This caused outrage over the years and ultimately led to the toppling of the monument by protesters on Indigenous Peoples’ Day in 2020.
The plague originally read, “To the
heroes who have fallen in various battles with savage Indians in the Territory of New Mexico,” though “savage” had been scratched off over the years, according to National Geographic.
Four years after the toppling, court proceedings began in Santa Fe to determine the obelisk’s fate. A written ruling will be issued “in due time” after Sept. 27, according to Source New Mexico.
The lawsuit follows movements by Indigenous activists to remove offensive imagery around the state. Some of New Mexico’s historical figures have come under scrutiny for their treatment of Indigenous people during the Spanish colonization of the Southwest.
In June 2020, similar protests occurred in Rio Arriba County, which
resulted in the removal of a controversial statue of conquistador Don Juan de Oñate, according to KRQE. In 2023, a man shot an Indigenous activist at a celebration of the indefinite postponement of the reinstallation of the statute, according to Source New Mexico.
The obelisk in Santa Fe — also known as the Soldiers’ Monument — was erected in 1868, and was meant to honor United States soldiers who fought in the American Civil War, according to National Geographic.
In response to the concerns of the community in the months prior to the toppling of the obelisk, Santa Fe Mayor Alan Webber issued an emergency proclamation demanding that three monuments be taken
down: the Soldiers’ Monument, a statue of Don Diego de Vargas and a memorial obelisk for frontiersman Kit Carson.
Union Protectíva de Santa Fé filed the lawsuit against Webber and the City of Santa Fe in 2021. The union suggested that Webber’s proclamation had committed a breach of the state’s Prehistoric and Historic Sites Preservation Act, according to the Santa Fe New Mexican.
Union Protectíva de Santa Fé is one of the oldest Spanish fraternal organizations in the United States, according to its website.
“We hope that this case will reaffirm New Mexico’s historic preservation laws, which protect
COUPON BONANZA
our unique treasures and which should never be disregarded for the sake of political expedience,” Union Protectíva’s lawyer Kenneth Stalter told KRQE.
After hearing arguments from witnesses for the City of Santa Fe and Union Protectítiva, Judge Matthew Wilson ordered both sides to submit their arguments and evidence of factual findings by Sept. 27, according to Source New Mexico, after which a ruling will be made.

OPINION: New Mexican Hispanic athletes who defined their sports
Nate Bernard @natebernard14
Throughout its history, New Mexico has continued to enchant athletics by raising the best and brightest to compete both nationally and internationally. They bring to the table unique experiences gained from their upbringing in the diverse state.
Sixteen athletes with ties to New Mexico competed in the 2024 Paris Olympics. Their success exemplifies the state’s athletic tradition carried on from generation to generation.
Though it would be impossible to showcase all of the incredible Hispanic New Mexican athletes, here are some whose impacts can still be felt today.
Devon Sandoval
In 2018, Devon Sandoval became the first player to sport the black and yellow jersey when he signed onto soccer team New Mexico United. Sandoval was an athlete of many firsts, scoring United’s first goal, playoff goal and Open Cup goal, according to the United website.
An Albuqueruque native and Lobo athlete, Sandoval was voted the United Soccer League Championship Player of the Month in Septem-
ber 2019, according to the USL.
Sandoval retired from professional soccer in 2017. His career embodies “somos unidos” — “we are united” — through the team he helped create, which continues to inspire New Mexicans and dominate the field.
Nancy Lopez
Professional golfer Nancy Lopez teed off her career by winning the 1969 New Mexico Women’s Amateur during her adolescence. She would ultimately win 48 Ladies Professional Golf Association tours and three major championships, according to the LPGA.
Though born in California, Lopez grew up in Roswell. During her time in New Mexico, Lopez won the New Mexico Women’s Amateur three times before winning the United States Girls Junior in 1972 and 1974, according to the LPGA. Lopez broke tradition when she became the first woman to receive the Francis Ouimet Award for her lifelong contributions to golf, according to the Women’s Sports Foundation.
Nancy Lopez’s impact continues to empower New Mexicans today and can be felt in Roswell, where Nancy Lopez Elementary School resides.
Johnny Tapia
Professional boxer Johnny Tapia — also
known as Mi Vida Loca, or “My Crazy Life” — fought with New Mexican strength and spirit by becoming a champion in three different weight classes: flyweight, bantamweight and featherweight.
Tapia posted an impressive 59-5-2 record during his career, with 30 of those wins coming by way of knockout. Tapia had an aggressive fighting style in the ring, which would culminate in a celebratory post-win backflip, according to the International Boxing Hall of Fame.
Tapia died in 2012, but his impact and legacy still lives on and inspires new and upcoming boxers in the Hispanic and New Mexican community.
Trent Dimas
Albuquerque native and gymnast Trent Dimas made a splash early in his career. Dimas became a member of the U.S. junior national team at age 13 and a U.S. senior national team member at age 15, according to the New Mexico Sports Hall of Fame.
In 1992, Dimas brought home an Olympic gold medal at the summer games in Barcelona. He earned the U.S.’ only gold medal on the high bar, according to USA Gymnastics.
Dimas broke records, becoming the first Hispanic American to win a gold medal on the
high bar, according to the New Mexico Sports Hall of Fame.
Danny Villanueva Born in Tucumcari, Danny Villanueva played football for New Mexico State University. Villanueva set NMSU’s record for longest field goal, according to its website.
Villanueva took his talents to the NFL, with stints for both the Los Angeles Rams and the Dallas Cowboys. Villanueva was one of the earliest NFL players of Mexican descent, according to the Dallas Cowboys.
After retiring from athletics, Villanueva continued to be successful in his ventures. He became the general manager of the Los Angeles Galaxy, and later a multi-millionaire, according to the National Park Service.
Along the way, Villanueva also continued to support NMSU students, establishing the Danny Villanueva Scholarship Endowment, according to the Las Cruces Bulletin. Villanueva died in 2015, and like others, his impact on New Mexico and Hispanic culture is everlasting.
