Focusing on the dramatic conflict between the Pueblo Indians and Franciscan missionaries in 17th-century New Mexico, the narrative highlights the often-overlooked Indian resistance against Spanish colonial forces. By integrating archaeological and anthropological research from the past four decades, the author enriches the historical account of Spanish-Pueblo relations, offering a more balanced perspective on this tumultuous period. The book challenges previous narratives that primarily emphasized the Spanish experience, providing a comprehensive view of the decade-long war that ensued.
