Pueblo Revolt Tricentennial (4)


The Tewa pueblos of San Juan, San Ildefonso, Santa Clara, Pojoaque, Nambé, and Tesuque were responsible for directing the 1680 Pueblo Revolt after the Spaniards captured two Indian runners at Tesuque on August 9. Joined by Taos and Picurís, they formed into two divisions and on August 15 laid siege to Santa Fe.
