The alternatives the Pueblo or the Spanish could have chosen to prevent the revolt of 1680 is .... that they should have chosen to live somewhere else not choosing California b/c there was a lot of diseases going around. They should've chosen a different place and/ or have been more prepared.

What cultures constructed kivas and what is the purpose of kiva?
Kivas are square underground religious structures that are accessed by a ladder in the roof used by the different Pueblo people, like the Hopi, in the American Southwest. Among modern peoples, they are associated with the Kachina beliefs. The Pueblos peoples ancestors, often called the Anasazi or Hisatsinom, also had kivas. So did other ancient peoples of the American Southwest. The kachina belief system is thought to have emerged around 1250 or so. Kivas, however, pre-date this by quite a bit. Some kivas were very large such as the Great Kiva at the so-called Aztec Ruins ( built in the 11th century) near Farmington, NM, where it is thought the roof weighed up to 95 tons. Some kivas such as the ones at Mesa Verde were above ground. Many of the older and larger kivas were round. It is thought that the activities that took place in them changed over the centuries. Today, religious societies meet, prepare, pray, and initiate members in them. The masked dancers emerge from them by climbing out from under the ground up a ladder. Kiva societies are closed to non-members and even other Hopi are not allowed in another kiva.

The Cherokee didn't immigrate from Africa, they were here several thousands of years before regular contact occurred between the two continents. Another viewpoint:

What did the catholic church tried to convert the pueblo Indians to do?
Well the Spanish priests primarily believed that they had to convert the native population, to save their souls and bring them to God. Some did this very aggressively and if a native lapsed into his original beliefs he/she was tortured and many times executed as a heretic. But not all priests acted this way. Most were humane men and tried to protect the natives from the abuses of the Spanish overlords.

Where did the Native American Indians come from?
The commonly accepted theory - and it is just that, a theory - is that the American Indians migrated to the North American continent using a now-defunct land bridge linking Asia (Russia) to North America (Alaska).
The reason the native Americans look Mongoloid (as they have been thought until recently) is perhaps where their ancestors were from.
It may be asked how did they make it over to America in such times when there weren't any ships. The answer would be that enough of the North Atlantic would have been frozen over during the Ice Age for them to have got across.
(If Native Americans were truly descended from an early "caucasian" people, then wouldn't they look more caucasian? Wouldn't they not have the epicanthic eye fold or the asian-like hair and the tanned-dark skin which they have?)
