 * Pueblo Revolt**

In 1680, Navajo and Apache groups aided Pueblo Indians in the Pueblo Revolt, which was a war for independence from the Spanish, who had brutalized and enslaved the Pueblos for decades. Some Pueblos took refuge among the Navajos, which resulted in the Navajo and Pueblo cultures intertwining.

The arrival of the Spanish also introduced sheep, goats, and horses to the Navajos. Since the Navajos were highly adaptive, they incorporated domestic livestock and agriculture into their subsistence system. The Navajo weren't just farmers and crop growers, they also engaged in slave/food raids on neighboring tribes.
