they first entered this world, while the Tewa origin'ated in the

(3) Span. Cienega de La Cueva 'marsh of the cave', referring to 

 [6:28] settlement. =Eng. (2). 



This marsh is found in two places as indicated on the sheet. The 

 ground is grass-grown, soft, and boggy. Curiously enough, in 

 front of the caves [6:30] and [6:31] and the little cave [6:36] there 

 is firm grass-grown ground. According to a San Juan informant 

 the land west of the creek, opposite and below this marsh, was also 

 marshy when he was a boy, but has gradually become dry and 

 sandy.

 the clift'. Whether this was made by Indians or by Mexicans was

 kv}i unexplained). 



According to the San Juan informants these two pools were as 

 sacred to the ancient Tewa as was the pool [6:24] at Ojo Caliente, 

 but the water in them was cool, not warm. The pool farther from 

 the creek is now choked with sand.
