Historical Thinking

A method of thinking critically that can help us piece together the fullest possible picture of past events, but it cannot show us what *actually happened.*

Even if we could travel in time to witness Po'pay's orchestration of the Pueblo Revolt or be a fly on the wall of the Palace of the Governors in 1846, we still wouldn't have definitive answers about what the knotted rope meant to all of the Pueblos who passed it around or why Governor Armijo chose to retreat rather than face Kearny's Army of the West. 

Objective history is impossible. And that's a fact.
