The record — long form
Jemez Historic Site is the mission that the revolt ended — the 1621 San José de los Jémez church built by the Jemez people under Fray Zárate Salmerón's design, the massive stone walls that were abandoned in 1640 and burned in the 1680 Pueblo Revolt. The ruins are still eight feet thick.
The site was the imposition — the Franciscan church on the pueblo that had been there since 1350, the architectural ambition that built a cathedral in the canyon, the suppression that drove the Jemez to join the revolt that expelled the Spanish for 12 years.
The ruins are still there — the 28-foot walls, the octagonal bell tower, the site that's a National Historic Landmark and a state monument. The file keeps Jemez: the 1621 church, the 1680 revolt, and the ruins that are the pueblo's monument.
Jemez is the archive's revolt file — the mission that the pueblo burned, the stone church, and the site that's the revolt's monument.
Why this file matters
Jemez is the archive's revolt file — the 1621 mission, the 1680 Pueblo Revolt, and the ruins that are the resistance's monument.
A mission that was burned keeps its walls — the file's suggestion being that Jemez's hold is the revolt: the church the people built and destroyed, the 12-year expulsion, and the ruins that are still standing.
