they decided to march into new mexico and try to take santa fe and that ended disastrously. actually taken prisoner and marched to mexico city and most of them died. new mexicans remember that moment and they were very resentful and leery of any texans trying to march into their territory again. this is actually one of the best judgments that henry sibley made he was in kind of came after baylor with much errors larger force. he assumed the hispano new mexicans would be on his side and the mormons too and he was wrong on both counts. that led to disaster for them, he was counting on them to provide food for his army on march. hispano soldiers and officers participated in all of the fights not only with the confederacy but also with apaches and navajos. they were reorganized into two groups of the first in mexico and then put in the first california as well to fight apaches in the south and navajos in mescalero apaches and north. it's a really interesting army to study and some militaries historians have done so but there's definitely more work that needs to be done there. th

i want to be the governor of new mexico.ll do whatever it takes to support a biden administration, and i'm looking forward to a federal administration that can do a national strategy in good times and in bad times both. >> all right, god bless you, governor, and the citizens of new mexico. appreciate it. happy easter to you and thanks for talking to us. >> thank you, jake. thanks for having me this morning. >>> trump is taking questions from reporters nearly every day, but that does not mean he's answering them. the president continually responds to urgent questions from the media about the coronavirus pandemic by attacking the journalists asking the questions, no matter how relevant or vital. >> you're a third-rate reporter. and what you just said is a disgrace. that was a nasty question from cnn. you're just incapable of asking a question in a positive way. >> you heard that right. amid a global pandemic and tens of thousands of infected and dead americans, the president is upset that journalists are not asking questions i

so the three cornered war tells a story of a civil war on the far left taking place is new mexico that becomes arizona during the war as well as texas and california and colorado. so this point you may ask yourself, i have never heard of this theater or about gettysburg or basically virginia. so i thought the same thing myself when i first started teaching and researching civil war history 15 years ago. i grew up in colorado. and never heard that there were civil war battles in new mexico or colorado soldiers were important to union victory in that theater. i had no idea indigenous people were involved at all. in colorado we have silver mining history maybe the wars that were later and the denver broncos. i wanted to find out more about this theater and why i had never heard of this conflict before. so some things i found out between 1861 and 68 we talk about 61 through 65 but in civil war history when you expand geography you expand it becomes longer from this point so between 1861 and 68 the native people struggled to control this region. the union and the confederacy p wanted it for

so that was taken place in new mexico. and texas in colorado and california you may be asking yourself i have never heard of this theater of the war or gettysburg. i thought the same thing myself in that seem like a long time i grew up in colorado. i never heard there were civil war battles in new mexico or colorado soldiers were important in i had no idea indigenous people were involved at all. and those indian wars and then it was with the industry. and then the denver broncos. i wanted to find out more about the theater of the war and why i never heard of this conflict before. between 1861 and 1868 and civil war history if you u pand the geography you expand chronology. and through 1868 the confederacy tried to control the region. and with this important vision of the future so the north and visions this free of slavery from coast-to-coast and also from coast-to-coast. so then they could jump off from there. and then to create this hemisphere empire from latin america. but the navajo that were living there for hundreds

so there's a whole discussion of slavery in new mexico. was able to talk about that also with one intent. because there are stories that given her name juanita and she also had a navajo own name. there were stories and things that she may have been a spanish person who had been enslaved in some sort of parade or some kind ofrt writing warfare and then brought into the navajo tribe and sort of absorbed. spthat allowed me to talk about that aspect of navajo culture. it allowed me to read about sheep raising and spending actually and weaving blankets addresses in the work that women do to clothe their family and keep them warm. along with all of the work that they do in agriculture and cooking and soaring total storytelling also. women are the storytellers the navajo tribe. i went to the navajo nation and looked in the lot of their different materials. i can of earlier periods, blankets and dresses in style which she would made it made him. and then also other things like baskets and other things they would've had. so also what is interesting

when do you expect to reach your peak in new mexico? >> so our current modeling, and of course, as you know, it changes literally every day, because we put real, you know -- realtime data into our modeling system. we expect that the surge happens still at the end of april. and we've done an effective job statewide bending the curve. it so looks like mid-may, later in may is when we should expect a peak. that could shift and we're preparing to, you know, stay the course to the highest degree possible. because here's what we're also seeing. while we're bending the curve as a state, that's not happening in our minority and rural communities. where we're seeing significant, right, transmission rates, doubling every day and a half, two days, in some communities, in some days, 50% of our positive cases are in our sovereign nations. that is something we have to get our arms around. and we are working on a brand-new relationship with indian health service, so that we're actually running the tests, so they'll help us collect samples, but if we'r

navajo nation, which stretches across parts of arizona, utah and new mexico, has been the hardest hity the virus so far, with more than 830 reported cases and 28 deaths as of tuesday. in arizona, 16% of covid-19 deaths have been native americans, who make up only 6% of the state's population. meanwhile, two pueblos in new mexico -- zia pueblo and san felipe -- have some of the highest rates of infection in the country. in oklahoma, the first covid-19 related death in the state was a citizen of the cherokee nation. and experts warn these numbers will only grow due to a disproportionate number of pre-existing health conditions in tribal communities and resource-starved t tribal l heah care systems ill prepared for the pandemic. the coronavirus federal stimulus package provides in relief for $8 million the 574 federally recognized tribes, but many say far more is needed to adequately protect indigenonous people frfm the virus's spread. four - -- for more, we are joind by a public health leader for american indian and alaska native populations, epidemiologist dean seneca. he spent nearly

secretary, how is new mexico faring? cally, where are you the issue of how quickly we should get back to work? it seems to be growing pressure that as we plateau here in new york, maybe we should start thinking about how and when we get the economy going again. bill: it shows once again that governors in states have more power than the federal government on these issues. my governor has been very aggressive and positive when dealing with the virus. but our economy is small. we are a tourism economy. we are an economy that is not terribly diverse, oil and gas. we are dependent on international factors like the price of oil. this is why we wanted economy to come back. it has to be a balance. eventually, david, you have to choose between protecting your people and protecting your economy. it has to be a balance, shifting a little bit toward protecting the people and the health. david: thank you so much. great to have you with us, bill richardson. former secretary of energy but also the former governor of new mexico. coming u

host: new mexico. guest: new mexico. hold on. she is one of let's see, 26,000 -- a small state. so that's one of the reasons why 26,000 this week, 27,000 the prior week. so actually it went down in new mexico week to week. that's pretty interesting. anyway, i don't know the reason why that extra $600 did not come. host: and not sure if you saw c-span2 today but the senate republican leader mitch mcconnell trying to put on the table a $250 billion supplemental aid for the s.b.a. and other businesses that needed the money at the request of steve mnuchin that was shot down by democrats. what's the back story? why do they need the additional money and will they get it? guest: so they might need the additional money once this additional $350 billion runs out. they're forecasting because of a takeup in the program and the large number of applications that came in, to the banks, that they're going to run out of money. pelosi is arguing from the democratic side was that you had to run out. yet there was still time to discuss it. and i think they wanted additional things a little more ba

host: albuquerque, new mexico. this is david. thisr: i know that coronavirus is very, very other urging to all of us. but what i would like to know from you is how upsetting is pelosi, getting the $25 million for the candidate center, and not for the equipment that is needed to care for these victims of the coronavirus? that been,ting has knowing that she doesn't really get herself in reality concerning this situation, but only looking for her own good or her own interest for this and not for the victims? can you explain that? host: thanks, david. guest: i think at a moment like this, it is critical to focus on the right things. clearly prioritizing the response to the pandemic is absolutely critical. certainly at all levels. that has to be priority number one, and everything else will have to go second, third, fourth, and fifth. so most importantly is of course trying to ensure that we are putting in place the measures to prevent continued transmission another-19, as well as very important measure of mitigation is taking care of

and a lot of the work that we've been doing a lot you see a lot of work happening with testing a new mexico and testing in other states they have extraordinary molecular biologists that are evolutionary biologists and they'll be able to look at that both in both the new mexico that may have lower transmission rates and compare that to new york that has maybe 10 x. transmission but it's an excellent question and it's something that we'll be able to be answered by what we see in the united states john whether because it was that come from what's the world like. france you know when senator schumer wrote a letter a couple of months ago and he said q. should use admirals and generals they said well that's what we did 1st of all we have our voice residues been incredible but. we have the adams we have the generals and i was just talking to the admiral inside just before we came and i said did you go to annapolis. he said no sara sidner that's too bad it's stupid what did you feel he said i went to harvard oh that's ok too i guess right so you were to harvard there was a great student at harvard

mexico city. but it took months for the news to get from the foothills of sierra nevada to mexico city so they signed the treaty before anybody knew that the transfer of california included the transfer of this new gold strike. from the standpoint of americans to think that america is this exceptional place. and perhaps more so in the 19th century than them but maybe not. god particularly smiled on the united states and it was easy to craft a narrative around this because gold had been lying in the streambeds of california for millennia. and the native americans never found it in the gold had sinned been lining the streambeds of for hundreds of years before california was under the control of the spanish. they know go look like they never found it. and then gold was still an streambeds in the 25 years to california that is under the control of mexicans. but the mexicans didn't find it either. and then, within weeks, the transfer to the united states, boom, gold is discovered. and what do you know. all of a sudden the west is much more attractive than ever before. i make the claim and i will admit it

in 1933, there were excavations near a town in new mexico called clovis. and from that particular location which is called a blackwater draw locality number three, they recovered a particularly distinctive kind of spear point with two channel flakes or flutes taken from either side, probably to facilitate have to. these points had been known previously. in fact, we have known about their existence for several hundred years. they have been found all over most of unglazed seated north america, on down into new mexico, down into south america. the prevailing wisdom was the people that made these points were in fact the first people in the new world. that they had come over from siberia, walked across the bearing platform at a time when it was exposed, and then basically sprinted from the unglazed seated a bearing -- all the way down to the tip of south america in less than 500 radiocarbon years, killing off 32 genera of ice age animals on their way. it was thought to have been, by american and canadian archaeologists, the greatest killing event in the history
