About Domingo Naranjo
Domingo Naranjo born c. 1644 at Taos, New Mexico, New Spain, died before 1696 at Taos, New Mexico, New Spain
Domingo was the son of a freed black slave and an Indian woman. He is believed to have been one of the instigators of the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 in New Mexico. His son, José, however, would eventually work for Vargas during the Reconquista.
According to Fray Angelico Chavez:
"Domingo Naranjo was an Indian of New Spain who cast his lot with the Taos Indians when the Pueblos rebelled against the Spanish colony in 1680. He seemed to have died by the time Vargas' Expedition came to Taos in 1696. But a son of his, Jose Lopez Naranjo, "lobo de Yndio mulato," had joined the Spainards."
Chavez suggests that tolerant Franciscans gave the Pueblos no cause for revolt. Pueblo leaders claimed religious persecution as a pretext to gain "power and revenge." And those Pueblo leaders, he concludes, were mestizos (or coyotes as they were also called in New Mexico) rather than pure-blooded Pueblos. Chavez identifies one mixed-blood leader in particular, Domingo Naranjo, as the leader of the Pueblo Revolt.

Historian Fray Angélico Chávez argues that Domingo Naranjo, a mulatto, masterminded the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 by presenting himself as Pohé-yemo (Pope), a key figure in Pueblo cosmology.
