Autos Drawn Up as a Result of the Rebellion of the Christian
Indians. [Santa Fe, August 9, 168o.]'.
In the villa of
Santa Fe, New Mexico, capital of this kingdom and these
provinces, on the ninth day of the month of August, i68o,
Don Antonio de Otermin, governor and captain-general of this
kingdom and the provinces of New Mexico for his Majesty,
states: That he has just received three messages, one from
the reverend father visitador, Fray Juan Bernal, another
from the father preacher, Fray Fernando de Velasco, and the
third from Captain Marcos de Dehezas, alcalde mayor and war
captain of the jurisdiction of Los Taos, all of which
messages notify his lordship that the Christian Indians of
this kingdom are convoked, allied, and confederated for the
purpose of rebelling, forsaking obedience to his Majesty,
and apostatizing from the holy faith; and that they desire
to kill the ecclesiastical ministers and all the Spaniards,
women, and children, destroying the whole population of this
kingdom. They are to execute this treason and uprising on
the thirteenth of the current month, as they have disposed
and planned among themselves. All this has become known
through the Indian governors and captains of the pueblos of
Tagnos [Tanos], San Marcos, and La Cienega, who likewise
have appeared in this villa to report the aforesaid, saying
that they had learned of it through two Indians, natives of
the pueblo of Tesuque of the Tegua nation, one named Nicolas
Catua and the other Pedro Omtua. They declared, alike
through the said three messages as well as through the
governors and captains of Tanos, San Marcos, and La Ci6nega,
that they had come, sent by the said Tanos, to convoke and
advise the Indians of the said uprising and treason. All the
nations of this kingdom were now implicated in it, forming
