This led to the San Diego Tax Rebellion of 1851 or 'Garra's Revolt', the San Diego theatre of the Yuma War. In 1851, San Diego County unilaterally charged property taxes on Native American tribes in the county and threatened to confiscate land and property should they fail to pay up. In 1837, the Pueblo fought against hostile bands and protected Mexican settlers, with a decisive victory over an anti-Christian uprising and capturing its leader, Claudio.

They partnered with Mexican ranchers, and protected ranchers from other bands. Its strategic positioning also served as a barrier against hostile attacks from other bands. The pueblo became a flourishing agricultural village under Jose Pedro Panto, the 'captain' of the band.
