The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Pope was successful in his revolt against the Spanish military because he had the support of his people, the Pueblos, and other important Native American Indian tribes like the Apaches and the Navajos. Together they made the plan to attack the Spaniards established in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The Natives killed approximately 400 Spaniards and forced the rest to move south to México.

The actions that Pope took after the Spanish retreated in an effort to restore Pueblo culture was to immediately reestablish the Native government that ruled before the arrival of the conquerors and he also established the religious traditions and the Indian's belief systems.

This rebellion of the Pueblo people started in 1680 and was against the Spaniard's violence in forcing Native Indians into conversion to the Catholic Church and colonization.
