>Sandia Mountain was home to Pueblo people for more than seven centuries
>and has been used continuously for ceremonies and prayer. It was also the
>place people took refuge during the Spanish conquest after Sandia Pueblo
>was burned in the late 1600s. Many survivors fled to distant Hopi villages
>and were later granted permission to resettle their territory in 1748 through
>a Spanish land grant that established the Pueblo's more limited boundaries.

>such institutions present, Millie was it. The needy would call her because
>she was an immediate source of dollars. She always came through.
