Learn how Spanish explorers and conquistadors profoundly affected the lives of Indigenous Peoples in what we now consider the American West, in these videos from the documentary series, The West. Videos look at Cabeza de Vaca, who was shipwrecked in Texas and over time transformed from conqueror to advocate for Native peoples; at Coronado, who terrorized the peoples he encountered in his quest for gold; at Popé, a Tewa Pueblo man who led a successful revolt against the Spanish occupiers; and at how the horses introduced by the Spaniards changed the lives of Indigenous peoples.
