ESPANOLA VALLEY
When it was described by Gaspar Castano de Sosa in 1591, the Espaola Valley contained about ten Tewa-speaking pueblos, several of which are still occupied today. Juan de Oate established New MexicoÕs first colony here in 1598. Long on the northern frontier of Spanish settlement, the Valley has continuously reflected its Indian and Spanish heritage. |
