This Sept. 1, 2016 photo shows visitors of Santa Fe Plaza pass by an image of La Conquistadora, oldest statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the United States, as organizers prepare for the annual Santa Fe Fiesta. For centuries, northern New Mexico Hispanic residents have held an elaborate festival in Santa Fe in honor of Spanish conquistador Don Diego De Vargas’ who reclaimed the city following an American Indian revolt. But after 301 years, an emboldened group of Native American activists say it’s time to change a celebration centered around the conquest of New Mexico’s Pueblo tribes.
