360 ETHNOGEOGRAPHY OP THE TEWA INDIANS [eth. asn. 29 



(LO) Oraibi Hopi N^amhe. This is merely a Span, loanword. 



(11) Eng. Nambe Pueblo, Nambe rueblo, Narabe, Nambe. 

 (<Span.). 



(12) Span. Nambe. {<T&viZ. JS'qmhe'e). 



(13) Span. "San Francisco Nambe"'.' "San Francisco".- "St. 

 Francis".' "San Francisco de Nambe".'' This saint-name is no 

 longer in use, although it is well known to the' Indians that St. 

 Francis is the patron saint of the pueblo. 



Nambe is the second village known b3' the na.w'i&J^qinie'e. The 

 first village called Nqmhee is the pueblo ruin [25:30], which ac- 

 cording to Mr. A. V. Kidder, is a very ancient pueblo. Cf . Nambe 

 settlement under [23:unlocate(l]. 



Of the origin of the Indians now inliabiting Nambe Pueblo, 

 Bandelier says: "The people of Nambe are a compound of origi- 

 nal Tehuas [Tewa], of Navajos, and of Jicariila Apaches".'^ The 

 writer's Nambe informants, who were reliable, stated that they 

 had never heard of any appreciable amount of Navaho or Jicariila 

 Apache blood existing in the Nambe body of Indians. They said 

 fm-ther that there is not a single Athapascan Indian settled at 

 Nambe at present, but that one of the former caciques of the 

 pueblo was of Navaho extraction. Bandelier mentions as former 

 pueblos of the Nambe Indians: "T"o B"hi-p:lng-ge" (a name which 

 means merely 'beyond the mountain' [25:11] and could be applied 

 to any or all of the pueblo ruins [25:ls], [25:23], and [25:30] and 

 perhaps to other pueblos; see introduction to sheet [23]); "Ke 

 gua-yo" [22:40]; "A-ga Uo-no" [22:11]; and "Ka-a-yu" [22:42]." 



Hewett' mentions as former pueblos of the Nambe these same 

 four village names given by Bandelier, and adds Sxpcewe\^:i]: 



Plus loin, ce sont les mines de Keguaya [22:40], ;i quelques milles il Test de 

 Nambe et de Tobipange [see above], a 8 milles au nord-est; on suppose que ce 

 sont celles des villages historiquea des Nambe. Les ruines d'Agauono [22:41] 

 et de Kaayu [22:42] sur le Santuario, a quelques milles plus loin au nord-est, 

 indiquent probablement I'ancienne residence de certains clans des Nambe, et 

 les traditions rattachent cette tribu a celle des Sepawi sur I'oued El Rito, dans 

 la vallee du Chama.

«Ibid., pt. II, p. &4. 1892. Mr. Hodge informs the writer that he made special inquiry regarding 

 these names while at NamM in 1895 and was informed that "T'o B'hi-pangge" is a rnin in the Mora 

 Mountains about 5 miles east of Nambi§; ••Ke-gua-j-o" is about 3 miles southeast of Namb«, and 

 "A-ga Uo-no" (pronounced Agfiwano by the NambS informant) about 4 miles to the eastward, in 

 the Mora Mountains. The exact localtiy of "Ka-a-yu" eould not be given, although the name was 

 known to the Indians. A ruin called Kekwali is situated near Agiwano, and another, known as 

 Kopiwfiri, lies about 5 miles north of the present Namb4.
