Over five centuries of foreign rule, Native American pueblos have confronted attacks on their sovereignty and encroachments on their land and water rights. How five New Mexico and Texas pueblos did this, in some cases multiple times, forms the history of cultural resilience and tenacity chronicled in Pueblo Sovereignty.

Struggles over land and water have determined much of New Mexico's long history. The outcome of such disputes often depended on which party had a strong advocate to argue a case. This book is partly about the advocates who represented the parties to these disputes, but it is most of all about the Hispanos, Indians, and Genizaros themselves and the land they lived on and fought for.

Provides a detailed and up-to-date account of the complex history of Pueblo Indian land in New Mexico, beginning in the late seventeenth century and continuing to the present day. It traces the rise of the mysterious Pueblo League between 1700 and 1821, and provides a detailed analysis of Pueblo lands after 1821.
