Nicknamed "The Land of Enchantment," New Mexico is the fifth largest state in the US with an area of 121,598 square miles. The state's relatively small population of 1,829,146 is ethnically diverse. About 42% of the population is of Hispanic origin, 44% is White and 9.5% is of American Indian heritage. More than one-third of the nation's Navajo population resides here. There are four Indian reservations in the state: Jicarilla Apache, Mescalero Apache, Navajo Nation and Ute Mountain. Nineteen pueblos are located in seven counties throughout the state. The state is home to four Tribal Colleges: Crownpoint Institute of Technology, Dine College-Shiprock, Institute of American Indian Arts and Southwestern Indian Polytechnic Institute. Thirty percent of the state's total population resides in its two largest cities: Albuquerque and the state capitol, Santa Fe. The state was named by the Spanish who explored the area in search of a "new" Mexico.
