Our Spanish Language w/April Bojorquez and Charlene Garcia Simms
This topic was one of my first ideas when dreaming up this podcast - the Spanish language specific to Northern New Mexico and Southern Colorado. What makes it unique? More importantly, why don't I and so many of my generation speak it? We delve into these questions and more with author-librarian Charlene Garcia Simms and April Bojorquez, Interim Director of The Aztlán Research Center in Pueblo.
This is the video referenced with Neddy Vigil.
Mis Crismes 1956: Christmas in La Puente, New Mexico by Gloria Mora was recommended, but I had a hard time finding a source for it online.
