This book reproduces seminal articles by noted historians on the 1680 revolt of two dozen Pueblo villages against the Spanish settlers who had exploited them through religious conversion and military action. This was a turning point in the history of native peoples in America and resulted in the Pueblos regaining their right to practise their own religion and to avoid forced labour.
