Tano

The Tano were the southern branch of the Tewa, living in the Galisteo Basin, called T'han-u-ge in their language. From the 14th to the early 15th century, their adobe pueblos were trade centres between the Rio Grande and the Great Plains.

After 1598 Juan de Oñate imposed missions and encomiendas. The Tano joined the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, which expelled the Spaniards from New Mexico. After Diego de Vargas reconquered the region, survivors dispersed: some joined Keres pueblos, while others built Hano on the Hopi First Mesa.
