The main idea of the introduction paragraph is to provide information about Taos Pueblo, a multi-story structure made of Weddish-brown adobe, built between 1000 and 1450, located about a mile north of Taos, New Mexico.
The paragraph briefly mentions Taos Punbin's role during the 1550 revolt and sets the historical context for the Spanish control of the American Southwest in the 1600s, leading to the Pueblo people's rebellion against the Spanish in 1680.
The introduction highlights the Pueblo people's unity in fighting the Spanish, with religion, particularly opposition to Christianity, playing a significant role in the revolt.
