The following document concerns testimony taken by the Spanish Audiencia investigating the Pueblo Revolt of 1680. In this case, a native participant in the revolt is being interviewed. You must ensure that before reading the testimony, you familiarized yourself with the Pueblo Revolt. It is hoped that you consulted the course textbook to find out what happened and you accessed the internet article on the Pueblo Revolt of 1680. You are required to inform yourself of the event first before reading the following testimony. Source: “Declarations of Josephe, a Spanish-speaking Indian, 1681.” From: American Journeys Collection. Revolt of the Pueblo Indians of New Mexico and Otermín’s Attempted Reconquest, 1680 – 1682. Document No. AJ-009B. Wisconsin Historical Society Digital Library and Achives, pp. 239 – 240. __________________________ Asked what causes or motives the said Indian rebels had for renouncing the law of God and obedience to his Majesty, and for committing so many kinds of crimes, and who were the instigators of the rebellion, and what he had heard while he was among the apostates, he said that the prime movers of the rebellion were two Indians of San Juan, one named El Popé and the other El Taqu, and another from Taos named Saca, and another from San Ildefonso named Francisco. He knows that these were the principals, and the causes they gave were alleged ill treatment and injuries received from the present Secretary, Francisco Xavier, and the Maestre de Campo, Alonso García, and from the Sargentos Mayores, Luis de Quintana and Diego Lopéz, because they beat them, took away what they had, and made them work without pay. Thus, he replies. Asked if he has learned or it has come to his notice during the time that he has been here the reason why the apostates burned the images, churches, and things pertaining to divine worship, making a mockery and a trophy of them, killing the priests and doing the other things they did, he said that he knows and has heard it generally stated that while they were besieging the villa the rebellious traitors burned the church and shouted in loud voices, “Now the God of the Spaniards, who was their father, is dead, and Santa Maria, who was their mother, and the saints, who were pieces of rotten wood,” saying that only their own god lived. Thus, they ordered all the temples and images, crosses and rosaries burned, and this function being over, they all went to bathe in the rivers, saying that they thereby washed away the water of baptism. For their churches, they placed on the four sides and in the center of the plaza some small circular enclosures of stone where they went to offer flour, feathers, and the seed of maguey, maize, and tobacco, and performed other superstitious rites, giving the children to understand that they must all do this in the future. The captains and chiefs ordered that the names of Jesus and of Mary should nowhere be uttered, and that they should discard their baptismal names, and abandon the wives whom God had given them in matrimony, and take the ones that they pleased. He saw that as soon as the remaining Spaniards had left, they ordered all the estufas erected, which are their houses of idolatry, and danced throughout the kingdom the dance of the cazina, making many masks for it in the image of the devil. Thus, he replied to this question . . . . Asked if he knows, or whether it has come to his notice, that the said apostates have erected houses of idolatry which they call estufas in the pueblos, and have practiced dances and superstitions, he said there is a 1 general report throughout the kingdom that they have done so and he has seen many houses of idolatry which they have built, dancing the dance of the cachina, which this declarant has also danced. Thus, he replied to the question. The following is testimony given in 1763 by Pontiac, an Ottawa war leader, who led a major rebellion (Pontiac’s Rebellion). He began spreading the message of the Delaware (Loup) prophet, Neolin, who advocated a new interpretation of Indian European relations. Pontiac is addressing an international gathering of the Ottawa, Pottawatomie, and Huron nations. You were asked to consult the course textbook and find out what happened. It is hoped that you read the internet article on the rebellion. You must inform yourself of the event first before reading the following testimony. Source: This account is written from multiple interpreters: Neolin (presumably in his native Delaware language), the language Pontiac used that day (probably Ottawa), French (probably written down by the French-Canadian soldier and notary Robert Navarre), and now in English. Translated by John DuVal from [Robert Navarre?], “Journal ou dictation d’une conspiration, faite par les sauvages contre les Anglais, et du siège du fort de Detroix par quatre nations différentes le 7 mai, 1763,” in Journal of Pontiac’s Conspiracy, ed. M. Agnes Burton (Detroit, 1912), 23-33. In Interpreting a Continent: Voices from Colonial America, ed. Kathleen DuVal and John DuVal (Lanham, Md., 2009), 79-83. __________________________ Englishmen, although you have conquered the French you have not yet conquered us! We are not your slaves. These lakes, these woods, and mountains were left us by our ancestors. They are our inheritance; and we will part with them to none. Your nation supposes that we, like the white people, cannot live without bread and pork and beef! But you ought to know that He, the Great Spirit and Master of Life, has provided food for us in these spacious lakes, and on these woody mountains.[The Master of Life has said to Neolin:]I am the Maker of heaven and earth, the trees, lakes, rivers, and all else. I am the Maker of all mankind; and because I love you, you must do my will. The land on which you live I have made for you and not for others. Why do you suffer the white man to dwell among you? My children, you have forgotten the customs and traditions of your forefathers. Why do you not clothe yourselves in skins, as they did, use bows and arrows and the stone-pointed lances, which they used? You have bought guns, knives, kettles and blankets from the white man until you can no longer do without them; and what is worse, you have drunk the poison firewater, which turns you into fools. Fling all these things away; live as your wise forefathers did before you. And as for these English – these dogs dressed in red, who have come to rob you of your hunting grounds, and drive away the game – you must lift the hatchet against them. Wipe them from the face of the earth, and then you will win my favor back again, and once more be happy and prosperous. 2

Document 1 answers (The Pueblo revolt of 1680)

The origin of the primary source is the letter of Governor Don Antonio De Otermin.
The governor did the letter on September 15, 1680, following his fate amid the 1680 revolt.
The primary idea regards the revolt of North-Americans against the Europeans rule and their
demand for self-rule. Their demands led to the European colonizers' expulsion and the
attainment of the self-rule for the Americans.
The source describes the events that surrounded the expulsions of European rule from
North Americans. The upheavals associated with this occurrence are referred to as the Pueblo
Revolt of 1680. This revolt followed the expansion of Spain's European rule to the modernday American Southwest by Francisco Vásquez de Coronado. The expansion happened in
1540. It was followed by the establishment of European colonies in North America by Don
Juan de Oñate. However, the extension of their powers to the North American land did not
happen until...
