More about Robert:"Genízaros and their contemporary descendants were recently recognized as indigenous people by the 2007 New Mexico Legislature. Genízaros were Indian slaves who served as house servants, sheepherders, and in other capacities in Spanish, Mexican, and American households in the Southwest, well into the 1880s. By the late 1700s Genízaros and their descendants, often referred to as "Coyotes," comprised nearly one-third of the entire population of New Mexico. The settlements of Tome and Belen, just south of Albuquerque for example, were described by Juan Agustin Morfi as follows in 1778: "In all the Spanish towns of New Mexico there exists a class of Indians called genizaros. These are made up of captive Comanches, Apaches, etc. who were taken as youngsters and raised among us, and who have married in the province…They are forced to live among the Spaniards, without lands or other means to subsist except the bow and arrow which serves them when they go into the back country to hunt deer for food…They are fine soldiers, very warlike…Expecting the genizaros to work for daily wages is a folly because of the abuses they have experienced, especially from the alcaldes mayores in the past…In two places, Belen and Tome, some sixty families of genizaros ...Expand for more
have congregated. Throughout the Spanish and Mexican period Genízaros were settled in several New Mexican villages such as Belen, Tome, Valencia, Carnue, Los Lentes, Socorro, and San Miguel del Vado. Genízaros also lived in Albuquerque, Atrisco, Santa Fe, Chimayo, Taos, Abiquiú and Las Vegas. Most Genizaros were Navajos, Pawnees, Apaches, Kiowa Apaches, Comanches, Utes, and Paiutes who had been sold into slavery at a young age and functioned as servants and sheepherders. Almost all of the more recent Genizaros in fact were of Navajo ancestry, as the source for Indian slaves during the Mexican and early American period (1821-1880) was the Dine Nation, thus they comprised the majority of Indian Slaves during the Mexican and American period. During negotiations with the United States military, Navajo spokesmen complained that over half the tribe were servants in Mexican households around Bosque Redondo (Fort Sumner). Most did not return to the Navajo nation but remained as the lower classes in the Hispanic villages. Today they comprise much of the population of Atrisco, Pajarito, and Los Padillas in the South Valley of Albuquerque, and significant portions of the population of Fort Sumner and Las Vegas in Eastern New Mexico. One of the most notable Genizaros is Ben Nighthorse Campbell, the former Senator from Colorado who was able to trace his lineage to the Northern Cheyenne Tribe. . Economic and Social conditions under Mexico were so bad that in 1837 Genízaros, along with Pueblo Indians and others revolted against the Mexican Government, cut off the off the head of Albino Perez, (the Mexican Governor) and killed all of the Mexican troops in Santa Fe.".
