    The Spanish colonists initiated theocracies in many of the Pueblo villages, converted the aboriginals to Christians, banned their traditional dances and other practices in order to suppress the ancient religion practiced by the Pueblo people.

    Explanation:

    One of the primary motives of the Spanish behind carrying out explorations in search of new lands was to spread Christianity as per the orders given to the Empire by the Pope himself. The methods that the Spanish used on the Pueblos to convert them had to be suppressive in nature because the Pueblos strongly believed in their own religious practices and denied the offers made to them by the Spanish to convert to Christianity. To carry out conversions coercively, the Spanish established theocracies in Pueblo villages and restricted the villagers from practicing their religious rituals.
