Jaun De Oñate :) :(

1. Q: Compare Juan de Oñate's treatment of the Manso people compared with Vazquez de Coronado's treatment of the Zuni Pueblo.

A: I think that he treated them the same but with styles. Juan De Oñate had some problems with anger and also a bad Governor. I think that he would have treated them nicer but the native killed his men and is manager. So he got anger. Coronado’s I think was calmer and was smarter but also had some problems as well, and one is that he wanted to rule over the native people. I think he wanted to be a king of New Mexico.


2. Q: Compare Juan de Oñate's treatment of the Manso people to his later treatment of the Acoma Pueblo.

A: Juan De Oñate treated them as friends. When they demanded food they Acoma Pueblo refused to give them food so Juan De Oñate killed 800 and enslaved 500, and cutting the left foot over the age of 25.

            3. Q: I think that Oñate's actions differed from Coronado's at first, and why his treatment of the Manso differed so greatly from his treatment of the Acoma Pueblo.

            A: I think that the Manso treated them nice and went with them and followed orders and also demands for food, But the Acoma people did not agree so they got a cruel punishment.

4.Q:  Finally, discuss your take on Oñate - Some people consider him a hero to be venerated and others a villain to be despised - What do you think and why?

A: To me I that he can be both because Juan De Oñate made good dictions and some more wrong ones too.
