After surviving the 1680 Pueblo Revolt, the widowed and destitute Ana de Sandoval y Manzanares led her family back to New Mexico. In 1716 this descendant of mulatto and Indian parents asserted her rights to successfully petition New Mexico’s governor to restore her father’s land, the San Clemente Grant that today includes the site of the Village of Los Lunas.
