History
After the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 the Isleta people returned to their former homes, some bringing Hopi mates. When some members of Laguna Pueblo and the Acoma Pueblo joined the IIsleta community in the 1800's, friction within the society led to internal disagreement over religious and ritual matters. The solution to this resulted in the creation of the satellite settlement of Oraibi. The pueblo today is comprised of two small communities-Oraibi and Chicale, and the main pueblo, Isleta. The language is generally Tiwa, with most people speaking English, as well.
