say kuwa popa’’i’*, ‘cracked haired sheep’ (kwwa, sheep; p'o, hair; 
pa’, cracked). 
Very few of the Tewa own sheep, and the flocks consist of a few 
animals only. The sheep are never milked. 
Kuwa (akin to Isleta koaré (see above), meaning originally — vis 
canadensis, mountain sheep). 
Domestic Goat. 
If it is desired to distinguish goat from sheep, one may say kuwa 
po’ dne’’i’*, ‘smooth haired goat’ (kuwa, sheep, goat; p'o, hair; ’dnz-, 
smooth, not cracked or rough like a sheep’s hair). The male goat is 
called kuwasey, ‘male goat’ (kuwa, goat; sey, male) or tsibatu ( <Span. 
chibato). 
Few goats are kept by the Tewa. Goats are milked, usually by 
the women. 
Ton. 
Antilocapra americana (Ord.). Antelope, Pronghorn. 
This species is still found alive in parts of New Mexico and was 
known to the cliff-dwellers of the Rito de los Frijoles. An old San 
Ildefonso Indian says that he formerly hunted antelope on the Pajarito 
Plateau, mostly near the Rio Grande Canyon, but they are now all 
gone. 
Speaking of the dry valley between the Sierra de los Dolores and 
the Sierra de San Francisco, south of the Tewa country, Bandelier ! 
says that “in most places it is grassy, and haunted by antelopes.”’ 
Hodge gives as Antelope clans of various Pueblos: San Ildefonso, 
To"-tdoa; Isleta, T’am-tainin; Laguna, Kitir’tsi-hdno”; Acoma, 
Kiir'ts-hdnog; Sia, Kii’ts-hédno» San Felipe, Kiuts-hano; Cochiti, 
Ki'ts-hdnuch. An antelope which destroyed human beings figures 
in Sia mythology. 
Ta (akin to Taos tétinemd). 
Cervus canadensis Erxl. Wapiti, American Elk. 
It appears that there are no elk now in the region, according to 
both Indian and white informants, though the species above men- 
tioned formerly ranged southward into the mountains of northern 
New Mexico. Bandelier? rather indefinitely reports it at El Rito 
de los Frijoles. Two San Ildefonso Indians who have hunted much 
informed the writers that they were familiar with the species from 
having seen it in southern Colorado, but had never known it on the 
Pajarito Plateau. Cope ® says:
