Almost 340 years later, the Pueblo Revolt remains a source of pride for the pueblos of New Mexico. Lead by Popé, the pueblo people summoned their combined strength on August 10, 1680 to drive Spanish soldiers and settlers out of the province. Freedom from Spanish oppression was short-lived but the victory was an important turning point for the preservation of pueblo culture and language. We’ll take time to revisit the history of the revolt and its significance for the pueblos of New Mexico.
