This Traveltalk short guides viewers through New Mexico, beginning in Santa Fe—the nation’s oldest state capital, whose distinctive architecture predates European settlement. Archaeological sites trace early Indigenous habitation, while seven percent of residents identify as Native American. Near Taos lies Kit Carson’s former home and his gravesite, a shrine. The Navajo maintain a 14‑million‑acre reservation, preserving traditional lifestyles.
