Government Reform 
RESOLUTION 
Recognizing the historical significance of the city of Santa 
Fe. 
Whereas before 1598, the Pueblos of the Rio Grande region 
of New Mexico had inhabited the area now officially 
known as Santa Fe; 
Whereas from the first arrival of Spanish colonists in August 
of 1598, the Pueblos of the Rio Grande and adjoining re-
gions of New Mexico provided support and sustenance to 
those colonists, which allowed the colonists to persevere 
at San Gabriel del Yunque, the first villa and capital of 
New Mexico located in the pueblo lands of Ohkay 
Owingeh; 
Whereas, on March 30, 1609, the viceroy of New Spain, Luis 
de Velasco II, upon the royal proclamation from the King 
of Spain and captain general of New Mexico, ordered

Governor Pedro de Peralta to arrive in New Mexico be-
fore the end of 1609 and to establish a villa at the site 
of what is now Santa Fe; 
Whereas the Spanish colonists and the Pueblos engaged in a 
two-way exchange of knowledge and cultural folkways 
that would be mutually advantageous for both peoples; 
Whereas some 70 years following the establishment of the 
villa of Santa Fe, the Pueblos took up arms and forced 
the inhabitants of the villa to retreat to El Paso de Gua-
dalupe in what was then Mexico; 
Whereas in 1692, the Spanish colonists began a return to the 
villa, which following an initial peaceful return, resulted 
in several armed conflicts lasting through 1696; 
Whereas following the repopulation of Santa Fe and re-
institution of Spanish government in New Mexico, the 
Pueblos and Spanish colonists found ways to engage in 
mutual cultural interchange; 
Whereas over the following years and despite intermittent 
disputes, the colonists and their descendants formed alli-
ances and accommodated each other’s cultures, allowing 
Santa Fe to flourish; 
Whereas the peaceful acceptance of each other’s cultures con-
tinued through the United States’ conquest of New Mex-
ico during the war with Mexico and contributed to the 
evolution of Santa Fe’s cultural heritage and resulted in 
the recognition by the State and Federal governments of 
the sovereign rights of the Pueblos including their rights 
to self-government; 
Whereas during the period of 2009 through 2010, Santa Fe 
will proudly observe the 400-year anniversary of its set-
tlement and subsequent founding as a villa and its multi-

commemorate its 400 years and to pass on to future gen-

Whereas it is important that the commemoration provide a 
foundation for peace, hope, and collaboration for Santa 
Fe and its surrounding communities, and a foundation to 
move forward as a flagship community within the State 
of New Mexico: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) recognizes the historical significance of the 
city of Santa Fe; 
(2) recognizes the 400th anniversary of the es-
tablishment of Santa Fe; and 
(3) encourages the people of the United States
