Unlocated 



Cottonwood grove, where the Jicarilla Apache used to hold a fiesta. 

 Doctor Hewett informed the writer that he had learned from Tewa 

 Indians that the Jicarilla Apache used to hold a fiesta at a cotton- 

 wood grove in the lower Chama Valley about 4 miles above the 

 confluence of the Chama with the Rio Grande, somewhere near the 

 mouth of Ojo Caliente Creek. It is probably the same grove that 

 he means when he writes: "About 4 miles above the confluence 

 of the Chama with the Rio Grande is the noble cotton wood grove 

 whose grateful shade has been the noon or evening goal of every 

 traveler that has toiled up or down that sandy valley for a cen- 

 tury. At this point a chain of detached fragments of the great 

 Black Mesa (Mesa Canoa) [13:1] crosses over to the south side of 

 the river and extends for some miles southwestward".^ Even the 

 statement that the basalt formation crosses the river at the place 

 docs not enable the present writer to locate the grove. It is not 

 unlikch^, however, that it is [5:51]. The San Juan Tewa inform- 

 ants who accompanied the author up the Chama Valley knew 

 nothing of the Jicarilla Apache having formerly held a fiesta at 

 a grove in the lower Chama Valley. An informant at San Juan 

 Pueblo, however, knew of this practice and volunteered the in- 

 formation that it was the "fiesta de San Antonio" which was there 

 celebrated. But unfortunately he was not certain even as to the 

 side of the river on which the grove is situated. One of God- 

 dard's Jicarilla Apache texts saj's of the fiesta: "We [the Jica- 

 rilla Apache] started away [from Tierra Amarilla] immediately to 

 Cuchilla [5:49] where they were to hold a feast. For that purpose 

 we all came there. The Pueblo Indians brought fruits there and 

 the Mexicans came with wagons and on horseback. They had a 

 rooster race. After the feast was over we moved camp back 

 again to Tierra Amarilla, where we and the Ute remained in sepa-
