Senecú
The Piro pueblo of Senecú was the southernmost occupied pueblo in New Mexico prior to the Pueblo Revolt of 1680. It was located on the west bank of the Rio Grande within sight of the Piro pueblo of San Pasqual. Colonial Spanish documents consistently place the pueblo opposite of Black Mesa, which is near San Marcial. Due to changes in the floodplain and the establishment of San Marcial, however, no surface remains of the pueblo survive in the area. The original name of the pueblo has been transcribed as either ''Tze-no-que'', ''Tzen-o-cue'', or ''She-an-ghua''. This has been translated as either "eye socket" or "spring hole", but neither translation can be corroborated. History The pueblo was occupied by Piro Indians prior to Spanish exploration of the area. It appears to have been described by Spaniards as early as 1581 in the journals of the Chamuscado and Rodríguez Expedition. In 1598, the Juan de Oñate expedition described a "Tzenaquel de la Mesilla", which was the f ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Piro Pueblo
Piro Pueblo : The Piros (not to be confused with the Piro language (Peru), Piros of the Ucayali Region, Ucayali basin in Peru) are a Native Americans in the United States, Native American Pueblo people whose ancestors lived in a number of pueblos in the Rio Grande Valley around modern Socorro, New Mexico, Socorro, New Mexico, United States, USA. The now extinct Piro Pueblo language, Piro language is in the family of Tiwa languages. Some Piros were hospitable to the first Spanish colonization of the Americas, Spanish colonists who arrived in 1598. As a result, the Spanish gave first one, then another, Piro pueblo the name ''Socorro'', which means "aid" or "help" (in case of problems or difficulties). In later years, however, the Piros like most other Pueblo groups suffered increasingly from the strains of colonial rule. Local rebellions broke out on several occasions in the 1660s and 1670s, but the Spaniards always retained the upper hand. By the time of the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, th ...

Luis Lopez, New Mexico
Luis Lopez is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in Socorro County, New Mexico, United States. It lies between Socorro and San Antonio along the Rio Grande. History In 1667, Captain Luis López was ''alcalde mayor'' (mayor) of the Piro Pueblo of Senecú. It appears that he had a hacienda on the east bank of the Rio Grande. During the 18th century, the estancia was mentioned in the journals of a few travellers, though it had been abandoned after the Pueblo Revolt of 1680. The village of Luis Lopez appears to have been founded by the early to mid 1830s. At that time, it was located on the west bank of the Rio Grande, just east of its present-day site. Luis Lopez has been listed in censuses every decade at least as recently as 1980 since 1850, except for 1870. Since the village was not counted in that year, it is thought that it may have been abandoned for a short time and then relocated to its present position above the flood plain. However, most of Luis L ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
