[8] TAOS SHEET 



This sheet (map 8) shows, roughly speaking, the eountr}- of the 

 Taos and Pieuris Indians, which constitutes the extreme northeastern 

 corner of the Pueblo territory. The attempt has been to locate on 

 this sheet only those places which are known to the Tewa. Only a few 

 Taos and Pieuris names of important places are given below to supple- 

 ment the Tewa, Eng., and Span, names. Most Tewa Indians have 

 visited Taos and Pieuris and arc familiar with many if not nearly all 

 of the places named on this sheet. The Taos and Pieuris names for 

 places in this area are however very numerous, and would require a 

 special and prolonged study. Pueblo ruins exist in this area in great 

 number, but, so far as is known, none is claimed by the Tewa as a 

 village of their ancestors. For information about the relationship of 

 the Taos and Pieuris to the Tewa and other tribes see Names of 

 Tribes and Peoples, pages 573-7S.
