Resentment toward Hispanics grew constantly from their arrival in New Mexico. Amerindians in the present day are also reluctant to accept Hispanic customs and their traditions have not changed much in the last centuries (Silverberg, 1970, p. 70).
Politics is a domain rarely dealt with by Native Americans in New Mexico, mostly because of the discrimination they risk facing as a result of joining politics in an Anglo-dominant government and because they are aware they have limited chances to occupy a high position in the state administration. The Civil Rights Division has approached this condition and emphasized that the state Administration should not act inequitable toward Native Americans who want to engage in performing politics (CASES RAISING CLAIMS UNDER SECTION 2 OF THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT). Mexican-Americans have a larger contribution to the New Mexico political scene, even with the fact that their authority is often oppressed by the government (Gomez, 2000).
In spite of the fact that they receive little support from society in dealing with their organizational difficulties, Native American communities in New Mexico succeed in keeping their integrity through the values they promote (Norcini, 2005). Mexican-Americans are also successful in keeping their convictions by employing strong determination and reluctance when it comes to an uncooperative government. (Blanton, 2006)
The New Mexico landscape is a hallmark for Native Americans and Mexican-Americans alike, given the fact that the geographical elements in the area are characteristic for the two cultures. (Blake, 1999, p. 487)

U.S. Hispanic Groups Mexican-American The Mexican-American population in the United States represents the largest Hispanic demographic in terms of population size (Lipski, 2003, p. 223) and accordingly has a relatively large impact on the form of Spanish spoken in the U.S. In areas where Hispanics of Mexican descent dominate, such as the Southwest and some Midwestern cities, Mexican Spanish is the only form represented in advertising, schools, and on television and radio
