Thank you so much for commenting on my photo of Acoma looking down from the mesa-top village. The village was originally built here as a lookout and a defense. When the Spanish first came, they climbed up onto the mesa, had disagreements with the Puebloans, and were killed and pushed off the cliff. In revenge, in 1599, the next group of Spanish made it to the top and captured the Puebloans, cutting off some of their feet and hands and selling them into slavery down in old Mexico. The people from Acoma are still pretty bitter about this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoma_Massacre
