   Pope's rebellion is the one in 1680, also known as the Pueblo Revolt.   
   Pope was the name of one of the Pueblo Indian medicine men who was   
   considered a leader among his people. The term Pueblo Indian is   
   somewhat misleading too - they were not a single tribe, but rather   
   a loose-knit association of tribes living in the general region   
   of Santa Fe. The three largest pueblos of New Mexico are Zuñi, Santo Domingo,   
   and Laguna. There are three different languages spoken by the nineteen   
   pueblos. Not all pueblos were mud brick "apartment" structures either.   
   Pueblo is a hispanic term for "a town." There were three pueblos SE of   
   Albuquerque, now known as the Salinas Group, which were built entirely   
   of stone - with more similarity to the various cliff dwellings than   
   to the mud brick structures like the one at Taos.   
      
   CHARLES Bent (not William) was killed in a much later uprising known   
   as the Taos Revolt. It was a local and very short-lived affair involving   
   only those living in the immediate vicinity of present day Taos. It   
   was as more of a "hispanic" revolt than it was an Indian revolt.   
      
   "On the morning of January 19, 1847, the insurrectionists began the revolt in   
   Don Fernando de Taos (present-day Taos, New Mexico). They were led by a   
   Hispanic man, Pablo Montoya, and a Taos Indian, Tomás Romero, known as   
   Tomasito."
