Ohkwee Ówîngeh

Ohkwee Ówîngeh, known to the Spanish as San Juan Pueblo, is a Tewa community on the upper Rio Grande. Its fields and houses stand in a river valley surrounded by the high country of northern New Mexico. The pueblo was the birthplace of Po’pay, the religious leader associated with the great uprising against Spanish colonial rule. In 1598 Juan de Oñate established his first New Mexican capital near the pueblo. Spanish demands and interference with Pueblo religious life fostered resistance. In 1680 Po’pay helped organize communities across the province in a coordinated revolt that expelled the Spanish from New Mexico for twelve years.

The later city of Santa Fe lies nearby.
