Thursday, August 6, 2026 - 33 minutes

This interview explores the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, a significant Indigenous uprising against Spanish colonial rule in the Southwest that successfully reclaimed Pueblo independence for more than a decade. Archaeologist Paul Reed discusses how Pueblo communities coordinated the revolt, resisted Spanish reconquest, and returned to traditional cultural and religious practices during this period.

The conversation also examines archaeological discoveries, changes in settlement patterns, pottery traditions, and the growing contributions of Indigenous scholars to understanding this history.
