**Arizona marks the spot: Locating the first European settlement in the American Southwest**

"_At Suya there is evidence for a pitched battle, consistent with documentary accounts. This marks this conflict as the first successful Native American uprising in the continental US. This distinction results from the fact that Spaniards did not return to what would become southern Arizona for 150 years, although they would probe and settle other portions of the American Southwest later in the sixteenth century._"
