HARRINGTON] PLACE-NAMES 247 



Thi« ruin is said to lie nortiiwest of Santa Clara and west of the 

 railroad track. It is said that this is the first and original site of 

 K' ap(>'y,ijXDi. Bandolier certainly refers to this site when he 

 writes: "A still older site [than [14:117]] is at the outlet of a 

 mountain torrent called Arroyo de Santa Clara, a short dis- 

 tance to the west [of Santa Clara Pueblo]. There, saj' the natives, 

 stood ' old Kapo before the white man and the gray fathers came 

 to dwell among us'".' It is not known what is meant by a 

 "mountain torrent called the Arroyo de Santa Clara". Any 

 arroyo back of Santa Clara would be called Arroj'o de Santa 

 Clara by the Mexi<!ans. The ruin must lie somewhere near Behe^e 

 [14:109]. One would hardl}' call the latter a "mountain torrent". 

 Can it be that the well known Santa Clara Canj'on is here referred 

 to? Hewett^ refers to this ruin in the last clause of the fol- 

 lowing passage: "Pres du village de Santa Clara, deux endroits 

 out ete autrefois occupes par cette tribu. Celui qui a ete habite 

 le plus recemment est Old Kapo [14:117], a quelques metres a 

 I'est du village actuel; de Tautre il ne reste que des debris". Cf. 

 [14:71], [14:117].

 mology (K'apo, see [14:71]; 'iiywikeji 'pueblo ruin' <'iiywi 

 'pueblo', Avji 'old' postpound). 



It is said that this ruin, which lies northeast of the present vil- 

 lage of Santa Clara, is what remains of the pueblo occupied by 

 the Santa Clara Indians after they abandoned the pueblo [14:llfi] 

 and before they built their present village [14:71]. Bandelier' 

 says of this site: "The former pueblo and church of Santa Clara 

 have long since disappeared, but their site is still known to the 

 Indians, north of the pueblo". Of this ruin Hewett' writes: 

 "Pres du village de Santa Clara, deux endroits out ete autrefois 

 occupes par cette tribu. Celui fiui a ete hal)itc le plus recemment 

 est Old Kapo, a quelques nietres il Test du village actuel". Cf. 

 [14:71], [14:116]. So far as can be learned this is the pueblo 

 which the Santa Claras inhabited at the time of the coming of the 

 Spaniards, and it was at this pueblo that the church and monastery 

 were erected between 1622 and 1629.^

"The church dates from 1761".' This church is now in ruined 

 condition and is no longer used. "
