Kiva and Church Ruins

Kiva and Church Ruins

Pictured are two religious structures now in disuse: an underground Kiva and the ruins of the Spanish church at Gran Quiriva. The Franciscans were initially tolerant of Native American religion, but as church policy changed the Pueblo people were forced to worship underground.
