Line 43:
In Isleta, the settlers were attacked by the pueblo, but they were defeated. So Otermin held a ceremony in which he re-established the Spanish power in the region and spared the natives for their actions. Otermin also gave large amounts of corn of local inhabitants, as was claimed by them but scarce in the Isleta.
After the victory of Otermin, this sent Juan Dominguez de Mendoza and a company of Hispanic men and Pueblo allies to north to the Tiwa and Keres peoples of [[Albuquerque]] and [[Bernalillo]]. There he spoke with Pueblo leaders who told him that his people had the intention of attacking and killing the settlers to return to the region. Therefore, Domínguez ordered the settlers were directed to Isleta, where he was the governor. Otermin was with his army in northern New Mexico, but there he found that the region of the Pueblos was empty. Perhaps for fear of planning a new attack, he decided to reconvene several councils of war.
In August 1682, Otermin fell ill so he requested to be replaced in the government of New Mexico. Thus, he was replacement by Domingo Jironza Petrís de Cruzate.<ref name="New Mexico Historian:Otermín"/>
