They did not attempt to reimpose the encomienda system but rather made grants of land to communities (including Pueblo villages) and individuals. Subsequently, the Spanish and their Pueblo subjects were forced into becoming allies due to raids, often retaliatory, by the surrounding Indian tribes, especially the Comanche who after 1706 became a major threat to the New Mexican colony.
