<P> Following his release , Popé , along with a number of other Pueblo leaders ( see list below ) , planned and orchestrated the Pueblo Revolt . Popé took up residence in Taos Pueblo far from the capital of Santa Fe and spent the next five years seeking support for a revolt among the 46 Pueblo towns . He gained the support of the Northern Tiwa , Tewa , Towa , Tano , and Keres - speaking Pueblos of the Rio Grande Valley . The Pecos Pueblo , 50 miles east of the Rio Grande pledged its participation in the revolt as did the Zuni and Hopi , 120 and 200 miles respectively west of the Rio Grande . The Pueblos not joining the revolt were the four southern Tiwa ( Tiguex ) towns near Santa Fe and the Piro Pueblos south of the principal Pueblo population centers near the present day city of Socorro . The southern Tiwa and the Piro were more thoroughly integrated into Spanish culture than the other groups . The Spanish population of about 2,400 , including mixed - blood mestizos , and Indian servants and retainers , was scattered thinly throughout the region . Santa Fe was the only place that approximated being a town . The Spanish could only muster 170 men with arms . The Pueblos joining the revolt probably had 2,000 or more adult men capable of using native weapons such as the bow and arrow . It is possible that some Apache and Navajo participated in the revolt . </P>
