Juan de oñate

Oñate treated the manso people rather well, because when they first saw the mansos, they had a cross. So, oñate assumed that another Spanish explorer had already passed through. The manso people offered them water, and traded fresh fish for clothes. Then, they had a large feast. His treatment differed from Vasquez de Coronado's approach of the Zuni, in which he ordered them around right from the start. I think oñate treated the manso people well because they were welcoming and presented them with gifts. However, oñate  treated the acoma people very harshly, because when he was gone, a few of his men raped one of the pueblo women. So, the pueblo people killed some of the soldiers. In retaliation, oñate punished them very badly. He cut the feet off men over 25 years of age, and sentenced them to 20 years of servitude to the Spanish. He sentenced all other ages and genders to about 10-15 years. I think that donn Juan de oñate was a villain, because he severely punished the acoma people for their retaliation of one of his own men's actions.
