Description


The Taos Pueblo Cemetery The first location for the original San Geronimo Church that was built in 1619 by Spanish priests with Indian labor, where they forced the people of the Taos Pueblo into Catholicism and slavery in order to become “civilized”. This is what led into what is called the “Pueblo revolt of 1680″. The Taos Pueblo was the prominent headquarters for the revolt which was led by Pope. After the revolt, the Pueblo people of New Mexico lived freely until the re-conquest by the Spanish in the 1700s. By 1706 the church was reconstructed. wanderwords.com/archives/2005/12/26/the-taos-pueblo-cemet...
