Tsi'ya

Tsi'ya, or Zia, was an Eastern Keres pueblo on the Jemez River in New Mexico. Its people had settled the valley in the 13th century, raising crops with irrigation works.

In 1583 Espejo found it the valley's largest pueblo. The people were forced to build a church and convent, but Zia joined Popé's revolt in 1680. The Spanish sacked it in 1689, killing hundreds; the survivors returned in 1692, when fighting and disease had left only about 120. They rebuilt the community.
