History of the Pueblo peoples

The history of the Pueblo peoples are the recorded experiences of the Pueblo peoples of the Southwestern United States and Northern Mexico before and after contact with European and African people. Ancestral precontact cultures in the region include Mogollon and Ancestral Pueblo peoples. Contact with Spanish colonizers led by Juan de Oñate in the late 16th century led to cataclysmic change, including the 1680 Pueblo Revolt. However, Pueblo peoples continue to be prevalent in the Southwest.
