104 ETHNOGEOGRAPHY OF THE TEWA INDIANS [bth. ann. 29 



portion of the Tewa country at the foot of the mountain chains 

 is known as Tewapinnuge 'Tewa place beneath the mountains' 

 {Teim name of the tribe; firjf 'mountain'; mru 'below'; ge 

 'down at' 'over at'). According to the writer's informants the 

 Tewa had in ancient times a strong feeling that the Tewa country 

 was tlieir land and property, and would have resented the attempt 

 of any other tri1)e to make a settlement in it. The Tewa had in 

 former times also many pueblos in the region south of the present 

 Tewa counti-y, known as T"awM06, q. v. [Large Features:6]. 



[Large Features: 6]. (1) T'anuge, T'amigerd-oijy 'live down coun- 

 try" 'live down country plain' (f'a 'to live'; 7iuge 'down be- 

 low <niCu 'below', ge 'down at' 'over at'; \ikqyf 'plain'). 

 This name refers to the great plain south of the Tewa country 

 and east of the Rio Grande. Its Indian inhabitants were called 

 T'anuge' intoina 'live-down-country people' {T'anuge, see above; 

 'iyy locative and adjective-forming postfix; Iowa 'person' 'peo- 

 ple'), or for short T'anutoum. See Tano, page 576. 



(2) Eng. Santa Fe Plain. This term seems applicable. Santa 

 Fo city [29:5] is at the northern border of the plahi and com- 

 mands a view of the greater part of it; hence the name is applied. 

 This plain has been called by Bandelier "the central plain of 

 northern New Mexico". He also speaks' of the northern part 

 of it as "the jjlateau of Santa Fe,"' while to the southern part he 

 applies "theGalisteo [29:40] plain, "-and " the basin of Galisteo ^ 

 [29:-l:0]. This is the broad ai-id plain extending from the region 

 a))out Santa Fe [29:5] in the north to that a])out Galisteo [29:40] 

 in the south. This plain was, roughly speaking, formerly the 

 homeland of the southern Tiwa. See Tano, under Xames of 

 Tribes and Peoples, page 576, and Galisteo Pueblo ruin [29:39]. 



[Large Features: 7]. (1) T'mnpije^r^piyf, t'qmpijepirjf 'eastern 

 mountains' {t'ampije 'east' < f a y,/ '■sun', pije 'toward'; '/'»' 

 locative and adjective-forming postfix, 3 + plu. ; piyj' 'moun- 

 tain'). So called because the mountains are east of the Tewa 

 country. Cf. Tsq7nj)ije'i'' piij,f [Large Features:S]. 



(2) Eng. Santa Fe Mountains, named from Santa Fe city [29:5]. 

 (<Span.). = Span. (3). This name has been applied sometimes 

 to the whole range, as we use it here; sometimes to the southern 

 part of that range only, in the vicinity of Santa Fe city. "Santa 

 Fe range."* "Santa Fe Range." =
