JEMEZ 



[b. a. e. 



the Navaho soon resuming their hostil- 

 ity toward the village dwellers. In the 

 revolt cf the Pueblos in Aug., 1680, the 

 Jeuiez took a prominent part. They mur- 

 dered the missionary at Gyusiwa (San 

 Diego de Jemez), but the missionary at 

 San Juan de los Jemez, with the alcalde 

 mayor and three soldiers, succeeded in 

 escaping. In 1681, when Gov. Otermin 

 attempted to regain possession of New 

 Mexico, the Jemez retreated to the mesas, 

 but returned to tlieir village on the evac- 

 uation of the region by the Spaniards. 

 Here they probalJy remained until 1688, 

 when Cruzate appeared, causing them to 

 flee again to the heights. When Vargas 

 came in 16U2 the Jemez were found on the 

 mesa in a large ]iueblo, but they were in- 

 duced to descend and to promise the Span- 

 iards their support. The Jemez, how- 

 ever, failed to keep their word, ))ut waged 

 war during 1693 and 1694 aga.nst their 

 Keresan neighbors on account of their 

 fidelity to the Spaniards. Vargas returned 

 to the Jemez in 1 6K3, when they reiterated 

 their false promises. In July, 1694, he 

 again went to Jemez with 120 Spaniards 

 and some allies from Santa Ana and Sia. 

 The mesa was stormed, and after a des- 

 perate engagement, in which 84 natives 

 were killed, the pueblo was cajitnred. 

 In the month following, Vargas (after 

 destroying this village, another on a 

 mesa some distance below, and one l)uilt 

 by their Santo Domingo allies 3 leagues 

 N. ) returned to Santa Fc with 361 prison- 

 ers and a large quantity of stores. From 

 this time the only then existing pueblo 

 of the Jemez reoccupied was San Diego, 

 or Gyusiwa, which was inhabited until 

 1696, when the second revolt occurred, 

 the Indians killing their missionary and 

 again fleeing to the mesas, where they 

 constructed temporary shelters. Here 

 they were joined by some Navaho, Zuni, 

 and Acoma allies, and made hostile dem- 

 onstrations toward the Sia, Santa Ana, 

 and San Felipe people, but in June of the 

 year mentioned they were repulsed by a 

 small detachment of Spaniards from Ber- 

 nalillo and Sia with a loss of 30 men, 8 of 

 whom were Acoma. The defeated Jemez 

 this time fled to the Navaho country, 

 where they remained several years, finally 

 returning to their former home and con- 

 structing the pre.«ent village, called by 

 them Walatoa, " Villaije of the Bear." 

 In 1 728, 108 of the inhabitants died of pes- 

 tilence. In 1 782 Jemez was made a visita 

 of the. mission of Sia. 



The Jemez clans are: Waha (Cloud), 

 Seh ( Fagle) , Son ( Badger) , Daahl ( Earth ), 

 Kyiahl (Crow), Pe(Sun), Kyunu (Corn), 

 Simgki (Turquoise), Weha (Calabash), 

 Yang (Coyote), Kio (Pine). 



The population of the tribe in 1890 was 

 428; in 1904, 498, including a score of. 



descendants of the remnant of the Pecos 

 (q. v.), who left their old home on the 

 upper Kio Pecos in 1838 to join their kin- 

 dred.
