'''Nuevomexicanos''' or '''Hispanos''', sometimes referred to as the "politically correct" term '''Hispano-Americans''' or '''Hispanos of New Mexico''', is used to describe the cultural and ethnic background of Americans with Hispanic ancestry from the U.S. States of [[New Mexico]] and Southern [[Colorado]], particularly the descendants of the colonists of Santa Fe de Nuevo México.<ref> ''Nuevomexicano Cultural Legacy'' by Francisco A. Lomelí, Victor A. Sorell, Genaro M. Padilla </ref> Many American conservatives believe that the use of terms such as "Hispanos of New Mexico" or "Hispano-Americans," collectively referred to as "delineated Americanism" and "hyphenated Americanism," make the mistake of removing cultural identity and "putting America second" to emphasize racial differences over common national identity.

In [[New Mexican Spanish]] the word Nuevomexicano is pronounced '''Neomexicano''' (na-yo-meh-hee-ca-no); the etymology of the word stems from a reference to the New Mexican Spanish language itself, which is referred to as "Español Neomexicano" in Spanish.

The [[Santa Fe]] Fiesta and the San Felipe de Neri Fiestas in Albuquerque are some of the oldest continuously held festivals in the country. Two great examples of this group embracing other traditions can be found in local fiestas, the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta and the addition of Zozobra to the Santa Fe Fiesta, are largely due to Anglo influences. In kind, other groups are quick to embrace the Hispano culture as their own, the Balloon ''Fiesta'' is a great example of other groups embracing the Nuevomexicano culture. Each of the New Mexico [[Pueblo]]s hold annual Feast Days to celebrate this identity, as well as their own.
