Biography (note)
  • "The missionaries tyrannized the Pueblo Indians of the Southwest in the 17th century in pursuit of their religious goals. To set an example for others, resistance to conversion resulted in public beatings, brandings and hangings. In 1680, unable to tolerate further domination, Popay, a medicine man from San Juan Pueblo, instigated the retaliation. As the pueblos were dispersed over great distances and there was no means of synchronizing a revolt, running messengers, carrying knotted cords from tribe to tribe coordinated an attack." -- synopsis, Belinda James.
