Trade between Mexico and New Mexico during the Spanish period was open to who?

During the Spanish period, trade between Mexico and New Mexico was primarily open to Spanish colonizers, settlers, and indigenous peoples. The Spanish established trade routes that facilitated the exchange of goods such as textiles, livestock, and agricultural products. Indigenous groups often participated in this trade, acting as intermediaries and trading their own goods. However, trade was largely regulated by colonial authorities to maintain control over commerce and resources in the region.
