In the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, several groups did not support the uprising against Spanish colonial rule. Primarily, the Spanish settlers and missionaries remained loyal to the Spanish crown, fearing the loss of their land and influence. Additionally, some Pueblo tribes and individuals, including those who had benefited from Spanish alliances or those who were more integrated into the colonial system, chose not to participate in the rebellion. Furthermore, other Native American groups in the region, like the Apache and Navajo, were often not aligned with the Pueblos and did not join the revolt.

The Pueblo Revolt of 1680
Po'Pay's Rebellion, also known as the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, was a significant uprising of the Pueblo people against Spanish colonial rule in present-day New Mexico. Led by the Tewa leader Po'Pay, the revolt aimed to expel the Spanish colonizers and restore traditional Pueblo religious practices that had been suppressed by the Spanish. The rebellion successfully resulted in the temporary overthrow of Spanish authority, allowing the Pueblos to regain control of their lands for over a decade before the Spanish reconquest in 1692. This event is considered a pivotal moment in Native American resistance to European colonization.

It began in Taos Pueblo, and spread to other Pueblos.
As far as is known Popé died of natural causes. Popé was deposed as the leader of the Pueblos about a year after the revolt of 1680 and disappeared from history. He is believed to have died shortly before the Spanish reconquest in 1692.

They didn't. The Pueblo people were already living in Pueblos when the Spanish arrived in the 1500s. Some of these villages have been continuously occupied for 800 to 1000 years or more. The only changes the Spanish brought were that some villages were abandoned to gather together more and protect against the Spanish especially after the successful Pueblo Revolt of 1680. Also there were population losses caused by Spanish diseases, attacked and starvation due to the Spanish stealing food. 21 Pueblos still exist and people still live there.

The Apache raids on pueblos in the late 17th century created a climate of instability and fear in the region, contributing to the challenges faced by Spanish colonial authorities. When Diego de Vargas took over New Mexico in 1692, he aimed to re-establish Spanish control following the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, which had temporarily expelled the Spanish. Vargas sought to secure alliances with the pueblos against the Apache threat while reasserting Spanish dominance in the area. His strategies included negotiating peace and offering protection to the pueblos, thereby leveraging the existing tensions with the Apache to solidify Spanish authority.

The Pueblo people didn't really protect the Navajo. Sometimes the Navajo and Pueblos traded, other times the Navajo raided the Pueblos. The Navajo probably got some things like weaving and corn from the Pueblo people. The successful Pueblo Revolt of 1680 meant that when the Spanish returned in 1692 they were much more careful and didn't really colonize the western Pueblos again which indirectly probably helped the Navajo. On the other hand, the Rio Grande Pueblos later sided with the Spanish against the Navajo and later encouraged the Americans to lead military expeditions against them. One of the caused of the Oraibi split at Hopi had to do with an argument as to whether the Americans or the Navajo were more of a threat and therefore which side they should join with to fight the other.
The Pueblo Revolt of 1680
The united response by the pueblos, particularly during events like the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, was significant because it demonstrated their collective strength and resilience against colonial oppression. By collaborating across different tribes and cultures, they effectively challenged Spanish authority, highlighting their desire for autonomy and preservation of their traditions. This unity not only led to a temporary expulsion of Spanish settlers but also served as a powerful symbol of indigenous resistance, influencing future movements for self-determination.
The Pueblo Revolt of 1680 succeeded primarily due to the unified efforts of various Pueblo tribes, who collaborated to overthrow Spanish colonial rule. Discontent with oppressive Spanish policies, forced labor, and the suppression of Indigenous religious practices fueled their rebellion. The Spanish underestimated the strength and organization of the Pueblos, allowing the Indigenous people to reclaim their territory and drive the Spanish out of New Mexico for over a decade. Additionally, the strategic timing and execution of the revolt took advantage of the Spanish's weakened state due to their focus on other conflicts.
