The goals of obtaining riches was something not easily forgotten by the Spaniards, so the Pueblo Indians were the answer to the Spaniards’ get rich quick scheme. The Indians were forced to work by the Spaniards so they could avoid doing work of their own, stripping away the Indians freedom that they had before.
