indigenous resistance where they are able to basically across this vast landscape that stretches all the way from the area around Santa Fe and New Mexico all the way to what's now western Arizona and the Hopi tribes. And all on the same day, they rise up. The priests are many of them killed very brutally. All these churches are burned down.

They drive the Spanish back to Santa Fe, lay siege on Santa Fe, and actually force the Spanish to retreat back to Mexico. And so there's a period of 12 years in which the Spanish are completely ejected from New Mexico. And then they come back and there's the Reconquista of Pedro de Peralta reclaiming Santa Fe in 1692. But I'd say all that just to illuminate this. Often I think there is a

No, and even today, there are very emotional battles about New Mexican history where Don Juan de Oñate is still kind of memorialized as a hero by many descendants of the Spanish settlers, and as... the greatest villain by indigenous people. In 2020, there's a massive protest in Albuquerque that leads to a statue of Oñate being removed.

You know, talking about we encountered all of these tribes, and then that leads to one of the survivors who is an enslaved man named Estabanico or Esteban, who allowed the Spanish to survive because he actually was kind of a polyglot. He was able to communicate with all of these tribes, and because of that skill, he actually
