New Mexico’s Flag
The yellow field and red symbol colors are the colors of Spain. First brought to New Mexico by Spanish explorers in 1540. On New Mexico's flag we see a red sun with rays stretching out from it. There are four groups of rays with four rays in each group. In this symbol Native American people called the Zia. The Zia believed that the giver of all good gave them gifts in groups of four. These gifts are:
The four directions on the compass rose are- north, east, south and west.
The four seasons - spring, summer, fall and winter. The day - sunrise, noon, evening and night. Life til Death- childhood, youth, middle years and old

State Song “ O Fair New Mexico”
Under a sky of azure, where balmy breezes blow;Kissed by the golden sunshine, is Nuevo Mejico.Home of the Montezuma, with fiery heart aglow,State of the deeds historic, is Nuevo Mejico.
Chorus:O, fair New Mexico, we love, we love you soOur hearts with pride o'erflow, no matter where we go,O, fair New Mexico, we love, we love you so,The grandest state to know, New Mexico.
Rugged and high sierras, with deep canyons below;Dotted with fertile valleys, is Nuevo Mejico.Fields full of sweet alfalfa, richest perfumes bestow,State of apple blossoms, is Nuevo Mejico.
Chorus
Days that are full of heart-dreams, nights when the moon hangs low;Beaming its benediction, o'er Nuevo Mejico.Land with its bright manana, coming through weal and woe;State of our esperanza, is Nuevo Mejico
