Oñate

[ aw-nyah-te ]

Phonetic (Standard)IPA

noun

Oñate was remarkable not only for his success in colonizing a country so forbidding as this then was, but also as an explorer.

The visitors mounted to the roof by a smaller ladder, and the Indians tried to have Oñate descend through the trapdoor.

They were waiting to see what Oñate would do with Acoma, before they took final measures against the strangers.

Cristobal de Oñate was, therefore, a very important man in the working out of destiny.

In this locality they were found by Juan de Oñate in 1598-99.
