Spanish explorers found several Tano-speaking pueblos in the Galisteo Basin in 1540.  They were among the leaders of the Pueblo Revolt of 1680.  150 Tano families were eventually resettled in Galisteo Pueblo in 1706.  Droughts, famine, Comanche raids, and disease led to its abandonment by 1788, with most of the survivors moving to Santo Domingo.
