Pope, a Pueblo leader, orchestrated a successful revolt against Spanish settlers in 1680 known as the Pueblo Revolt. He united various Pueblo tribes by exploiting their shared grievances against Spanish oppression, forced labor, and religious conversion. The revolt involved coordinated attacks on Spanish missions and settlements, leading to the expulsion of settlers from New Mexico for over a decade. Pope's leadership and the strategic timing of the uprising were crucial to its initial success.
