The Spanish made several demands on the Pueblo Indians in San Juan, leading to resentment. These demands included forcing the Pueblo Indians to convert to Christianity and abandon their traditional religious practices, lifestyles, and languages. The Spanish also imposed heavy taxes on the Pueblo Indians and forced them into labor, often working in the Spanish mines and fields. Additionally, the Spanish sought to control and regulate every aspect of the Pueblo Indians' lives, including their governance systems and land ownership. These demands and impositions led to the erosion of the Pueblo Indians' cultural identity, autonomy, and traditional way of life, thereby generating significant resentment among the Native population.
