A Brief History of the Santo Domingo People
The Santo Domingo people came from the people who once lived in Chaco Canyon. These people moved to the great pueblo at Mesa Verde and then to nearby Bandelier. The current pueblo has been moved many times due to flooding along the Rio Grande River. The Santo Domingo have historically had a strong agricultural base and were at the center of many trade routes. The chief Spanish mission for this area of New Mexico was located here, and thus Santo Domingo Pueblo was the regional headquarters for Spanish activity. About 4,000 people live at the pueblo today.

The soil here is rich and there is plenty of water for irrigation. The Zuni was the first pueblo to be visited by Spanish explorers in the 1500′s. It was thought to be the site of one of the “Seven Cities of Gold”. This was actually a lie perpetuated by a rogue Spanish explorer. A year later, Coronado’s expedition came looking for streets lined with gold and instead found a hostile Zuni people. War ensued and the Zuni relented after a period. The Zuni accepted the Spanish intusion, but not their ways. Many Friars were killed at the mission by the Zuni. In the mid 1800′s the Zuni had become the wealthiest and the largest political force in the region. They grew crops and became sheepherders.
