The Pueblo Indians defeated the Spanish in Santa Fe during the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 through a coordinated uprising that involved multiple Pueblo tribes uniting against Spanish colonial rule. They strategically planned the revolt, attacking Spanish missions and settlements simultaneously, which took the Spanish by surprise. The Pueblos utilized their knowledge of the local terrain and their superior numbers to overwhelm Spanish forces, ultimately driving them out of Santa Fe and temporarily regaining control over their lands. This successful revolt highlighted the Pueblos' resistance to oppression and their desire for autonomy.
