My stepson took an Ancestry DNA test, and it matched a paper trail going WAY back thanks to Roman Catholic baptismal records. Turned out his great-grandpa was Mexican-American and maybe half Pueblo. We had absolutely no idea any of us had Native American ancestry.
Sometime in the 19th Century they moved up from New Mexico into Colorado. Oddly enough, this story of my stepkids' ancestry intersects with my own some 250 years later, courtesy of all those horses that were released. I'll tell part of that story next.
You're the first person I've heard (literally, in one way, because I listened to the audio, which isn't you) who knows the actual history of the Pueblo people, plus the horse history, that I've ever read or been able to reply to. I married into this history in 1993. There are two Wikipedia links about the progenitor of my last name, Rael. One book makes a strong, very unusual assertion. I am of the Claims Require Evidence People, and was able to email the author of the book, and get a pdf from him, fairly recently, after having lost my spouse and alienated his family. None of them liked these topics. You sure do, though. Thank you. This is what I consider to be evidence in support of my claims and/or very bad jokes and sad poems. Apologies for not using paragraphs; apps, y'know? Karma is Rael. And, yeah, the way that phrase sounds aloud is the topic of that book. đŸ¤” nah. Not an AI. Yet, right? Anyone who likes homework can lmk how they wanna hear some unhinged ideas đŸ’¡ and weird claims, for which I have no evidence. I mean, unless you like Wikipedia and crazy stories. Thanks for this. My father's mother and her side all trace back to Ohio. You're the first city that wasn't gone. Thank you.
And the languages are alive! You have connections to New Mexico?! I am from Boston area, but have lived in Albuquerque since 1997.

Very informative and a salutary lesson.
