Re: Good question. Let me ask some Native American historians ...

Well, according to the CIA, 90% of Mexicans are either mestizo or Amerindian(*)... so, why don't you just go to the nearest barrio and ask the locals?

mestizo (Amerindian-Spanish) 60%, Amerindian or predominantly Amerindian 30%, white 9%, other 1%

Jaeger, > How come all the toponyms in California, Texas, Florida, New Mexico, etc are SPANISH toponyms?

Good question. Let me ask some Native American historians ...

As for Florida.....not so much......most of the Florida names are Indian names.....I think Choctaw mostly.
