For the Hopi/Tewa and Pueblo people of New Mexico....today is Peublo Revolt Day. In 1680, the Hopi, Tewa and Pueblo revolted against the tyrannical Spanish. By doing so, it helped ensure the survival of our Hopi and Tewa language, culture, land, religion and our sovereignty.
The Tewa and Hopi warriors conqured and killed many Spaniards and their priests as they did not want to convert to Christianity. Hopi is the only tribe and land that wasn't reconqured by the Spanish nor have any artifacts or buildings such as churches, way of life or religion in our Hopi and Tewa villages.
A small dose of history that modern day history books fail to mention or speak up as a significant part in Native American and Hopi/Tewa history. This may be insignificant to some, but during that time, many Hopi men, women and children were enslaved, killed, traded and traditional artifacts were burned or destroyed and lost forever. All this was done for the Queen of Spain, Christianity and their God......
Kwa kwai to our ancestors for fighting for our sovereignty and to keep our traditions alive!
