The untold history - Episode 6: Juan de Oñate Salazar

You can now listen to the sixth episode of "The Untold History", the podcast of The Hispanic Council, in collaboration with the Secretaría General de Política de Defensa. In this new episode we talk about Juan de Oñate Salazar.
If we can speak of a New World aristocracy, few people personalize it better than Juan de Oñate Salazar and his descendants. Juan was Gonzalo Salazar's grandson on his mother´s side, who was Royal Treasury and son of Don Cristóbal de Oñate, one of the founders of the city of Zacatecas (Mexico). Juan was born there, where he also met his future wife, a granddaughter of Hernan Cortés and great granddaughter of Moctezuma, the last Mexica Emperor.

Juan de Oñate = Adolf Eichmann

[@zakattack8624]

This is a very watered-down, History Channel approach to Oñate's Expedition. It is as if the producers asked the only Hispanic person they know who the best Hispanic man was within current US borders, and they decided on a conquistador, ignoring all the "hard facts" (the terror and deaths he caused) and just gave a happy redention of a Washington and his Cherry Tree folklore.

You're just gonna have to get over it.

[@chuche249]

U need 2 read your history on why he did what he did. Both sides have blood on their hands. ALL cultures have been conquered. What would have you done if you were responsible for 2000 souls! And by the way only aprox 200 of the 2000 were soilders. Please know your history and and don't apply today's standards to what happened nearly 500 years ago.

@@chuche249 "All cultures have been conquered" typical yt european colonizer asinine comment. Your ancestors bullied their way into 'Pueblo' territory & demanding food, clothes & shelter cause they were ill prepared. They killed who ever refused to give them anything they demanded. Once they reached Tiguex province, it didn't take your ancestors long enough to disrespect the people by forcing all the inhabitants of one pueblo to leave their homes so your ancestors could be sheltered. All the while demanding food & extra clothing since it was winter time. At some point Pueblo ppl had enough of y'alls stinking body odor, stealing food, clothes & even raping a young woman, which led up to an uprising. Pueblo ppl fought bravely but unfortunately defeated & 13 pueblo villages destroyed & all the people killed, no longer to exist. With your mindset, its ok for strangers to come into your home, while your whole family is home, force y'all to give up everything, raped your kids & all killed cause y'all decided to fight back. How is that still ok with y'all? Trauma last forever regardless if its 300+ years ago, we never wanted you here, we never wanted your "technology", your diseases, your greed, your mindset, your religion, your pedophiles, etc. My ancestors had blood on their hands cause we had defend our way of life.

Nothing good/positive came out of Onate's expedition nor any other expedition from the Spanish thats why Onate was charged for 'war crimes' against Pueblo people and his own people. He should never be honored or celebrated.

[@Conquistador505]

Nothing good? Not even the protection of the pueblos from Navajo, apache, comanche, and ute raids. Not the establishment of the Kingdom of NM rather than disunity of various warring tribes. How about bringing new tools and techniques like steel tools, farming, ranching, reading and writing. The "war crimes" as you claim were charges brought up by those settlers who abandoned the expedition who were subject to desertion charges which carried capital punishment. In the end Onate was found not guilty. Yet the attacks and assualts by tribes like acoma and zuni pueblo against the Spanish are overlooked. Feel free to go back to dirt huts and battling starvation and tribal raiding red.

Lmao, the reason you have the technology to type this is because of the discovery of the Americas. The Natives were still in the stone age. I'm part native to btw. War never changes. That's life. We should count ourselves lucky for the fact we have all this technology because of them despite their evil doings.

[@scarletred1497]

@@jokesonyou1253 In my own opinion, i would rather go back to our "stone age" days rather than deal with toxic masculinity thinking that colonization by europeans was a good thing. Your colonized self can have "your" technology, your diseases, your serial killers, your rapist, your lack of respect for the environment, your pollution, your european religion, your greed, your government, etc.. Stay ignorant and Happy Indigenous Day!

[@chuche249]

I am decended from those spanish settlers. Thank you for calling me worthless.

[@scarletred1497]

@@chuche249 your ancestors murdered thousands of natives & those numerous villages no longer exist, all because of greed. In the conquistadores eyes, our Pueblo ancestors were seen as worthless. You are fortunate that your lineage lives on but those extincted Pueblos can't, due to a murderous event caused by your ancestors. Remember Tiguex War?
