Event Cancelled.

The Santa Fe Public Library always encourages community members to bring their experience and knowledge to all of our programs to open important and needed discussions that will allow us to learn and grow together. 

Due to feedback received from our community, Ana Pacheco has decided to cancel this presentation. We apologize for the inconvenience to those wishing to attend and we thank you all for contributing to the dialog around important topics to Santa Fe, New Mexico and our world we live in together.

Please look for more of Ana Pacheco's presentations coming up at the Library in 2024 about Santa Fe and New Mexico's unique history.

Pueblos of New Mexico

The Pueblo Indigenous people of New Mexico populated the Four Corners region of Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado. During the 13th century the Pueblo people began settlements along major rivers, primarily the Rio Grande, which begins in south-central Colorado and flows through to the Gulf of Mexico. The most significant historical event in New Mexico was the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 when the Pueblos successfully drove all the Spanish colonists out of the state for twelve years.
