The Don Juan de Oñate Expedition at Paso del Norte
title The Don Juan de Oñate Expedition at Paso del Nortedescription Offset lithograph on paper, 17.5 in. x 23 in. El Paso artist José Cisneros created this print interpreting the Don Juan de Oñate expedition at El Paso del Norte. Tasked with establishing a colony in New Mexico after scouts saw the Gipuy (or Kewa Pueblo) and Acoma people living stationary, agricultural-based lives, Spanish conquistador Oñate (1550-1630) led his army, settlers, missionaries, and farm animals in 1598 through the challenging Chihuahuan Desert, searching for a passage to New Mexico. After four months, Oñate discovered the Rio Grande and established headquarters at El Paso del Norte. He organized a mass and ceremony, el toma, to claim the lands for Spain, celebrating their survival and giving thanks to God. The mass and the feast are thought to be the first Thanksgiving ceremony in North America. Oñate marched through El Paso del Norte towards New Mexico, invading pueblos of the Gipuy (or Kewa Pueblo) along the way. Upon reaching the area of modern-day Santa Fe, he briefly lived in peace with the Acoma people before his nephew, Juan de Zaldívar, led a coup against the Acoma People, pillaging food and prisoners in his wake. Zaldívar was killed in the struggle. Oñate retaliated in January of 1599, known as the Acoma Massacre. An estimated 800-1,000 Acoma were murdered, while another 500 were punished through extreme mutilation and sold into slavery. News of Oñate’s atrocities reached the Spanish crown, and King Phillip II banished Oñate from New Mexico and Mexico.
