106 ETHNOGEOGEAPHY OF THE TEWA INDIANS [eth. AJts.29 



(4) Eng. Santa Clara Mountains. This name is suggested by a 

 prominent English-speaking Indian of Santa Clara Pueblo [14 : 71j, 

 who thinks the name Jemez Mountains or Valles Mountains is not 

 appropriate. Santa Clara Pueblo is the only Kio Grande Tewa 

 pueblo lying on the west side of the Rio Grande, and the names 

 Santa Clara Creek [14::24] and Santa Clara Peak [2:13] are well 

 established. 



(5) Span. Sierra de los Valles, 'mountains of the valleys,' re- 

 ferring to the meadow-valleys known as Los Valles; see Ppyi- 

 pxijqe [Large Features:!]. This is the name always used by 

 Mexicans and by Tewa when they speak Spanish. It is also the 



. name used by Bandelier. =Eng. (3). "Sierra de los Valles."^ 

 "Sierra del Valle.""= 



These names refer to the entire range of mountains west of the 

 Tewa country, which Bandelier^ describes as "the mountains 

 which divide the Rio Grande valley from the sources of the Rio 

 Jemez [27:34]." Mountains or groups of mountains of this 

 chain or range pass under many special names, most of which 

 do not appear on any map, and cannot be definitely located. 



"As 1 shall have occasion to refer frequently to the different sections of the 

 Valles Mountains under their current Spanish names, I give here a list of them 

 from north to south. The northern end of the range is formed by theSierrade 

 Abiquiu [2:unlocated], with the peak [Abiquin Peak [2:10] J of the same 

 name; then follows the Cerro Pelado [Santa Clara Peak [2:13]]; afterwards 

 come the Sierra de Toledo [27:unlocated], Sierra de San JMiguel [28:29], 

 Sierra de la Bolsa [27:unlocated], and, lastly, the Sierra de la Palisada [27: 

 imlocated]. As seen from Santa Fe [29:5], they seem to constitute one long 

 chain of contiguous heights. West of this range, at an elevation of at least 

 8,000 feet, extend the grassy basins of the 'Valles' [I'impntjiie [Large Fea- 

 tures: 1]]; beyond it rises the high Sierra de la Jara [.Tara jNIountain [27:10]], 

 sometimes called Sierra de Jemez, because the Jemez region lies on its western 

 base."* 



Other mountains of the range are: Capulin Mountain [1:2S], 

 Pedernal Mountain [2:9], Ensiinfupyjf [14:25], Pitcpiyf [14: 

 23], K'ujohul-waje [16:134], Cochiti Mountains [28:5], and the 

 mountains with Jemez names shown on the eastern part of [27].
