Rosie Uyola teaches about Pueblo Revolt of 1680, which was a powerful Indigenous uprising against Spanish colonial rule in what is now New Mexico. Led by Pueblo communities, this revolt challenged forced conversions, violence, and labor systems. Learn how Indigenous resistance shaped colonial history and why the revolt remains a vital chapter in the global Age of Revolutions.

Rosalie Uyola: Today, we are going to meet the people of several powerful West African societies. Let's start in the 16th-century Kingdom of Benin (modern-day Nigeria). Examine this bronze sculpture made by their artists. Based only on what you can see, what can you infer about the people who created this? Write down at least three observations or inferences. Think about their technology, their social structure, their values, and their art.
