This equestrian statue of Juan de Oñate had its foot cut off by unknown protestors. The defacement of this controversial statue was a reference to his order to mutilate Acoma men in the same manner. A note was sent anonymously to Journal North saying it was “on behalf of our brothers and sisters at Acoma Pueblo.” | Source: Advanced Source Productions.
