The Pueblo people, Native Americans living in what is now New Mexico, rose up against Spanish conquistadores in the wake of religious persecution, violence, and drought.

They focused their conversion projects on young Pueblos, drawing them away from their parents and traditions. (This is my essay i wrote on something like ur question hope it helps)
