410 ETHNOGEOGRAPIIY OF THE TEWA INDIANS [eth. ann. 29 



(2) Tewa "Tupoge".' Tliis is for Tupcg.!' •down to or at bean 

 creek' {tn Mjean'; ]x> 'water' 'creek'; g.e 'down to' 'over to"), a 

 mere translation of the Span, iiaine, never used by the Tewa. 

 Cf. [17:62].

 to [28:12J {Tfoon/e, see [28:12]; IcuiKj.i 'canyon'). 



(4) Eng. Frijoles Canyon, Rito dc los Frijolos. (<Span.). 

 = Span. (5). 



(.5) Span. Rito de los Frijoles, CaiTon dc los Frijoles 'bean 

 creek' 'bean canyon '. This is a common name in Spanish-speaking 

 America. Cf. Rio de los Frijoles, Rito de los Frijoles [22:unlo- 

 catcd], page 352. It is quite likely that the Span, name was applied 

 without influence of Tewa nomenclature. Another origin, how- 

 ever, suggests itself. The Tewa give assurance that the old Tewa 

 name of Ancho Canyon [28:4] is TunataJmu 'bean field arroyo' 

 'bean field canada', and think that the Span, name Rito de los 

 Frijoles is a translation of this Tewa name applied to the wrong 

 canyon. Frijoles Canyon is the next large canyon south of Ancho 

 Canyon. 



Tins canyon is desciibed by Bandolier- and by Hewett.^ The 

 documentary history of the can3'on has been studied l)y Mr. S. G. 

 Morley, of the School of American Archteology. The canyon was 

 not inhabited by Indians at the time of the Spanish conquest. 

 Mexicans settled in it in early times and farmed the cultivable 

 lands above the falls [28:14| nearly down to the present time. 

 At one time in the eighteenth centurj- the canyon was the rendez- 

 vous of Mexican l)andits. Bandelier writes: 



I have not been able to examine the papers relating to the grant of the Rito; 

 but that cattle and sheep thieves made it their lading jilaee ia said to be men- 

 tioned in them. The tale is current among the people of Cochiti and Peiia 

 Blanca.* 



It is said that no one lived permanently at Frijoles Can3'on for 

 many years previous to 1907, in which year Judge A. J. Abbott 

 settled at the cultivable land about [28:12]. Judge Ab])ott has 

 built a house from tufa-blocks of the ruin [28:12] and has made 

 many improvements. He has been given a permit by the United 

 States Forest Service to remain on the land temporarily. Judge 

 Abbott has named his place "Ten Elder Ranch", referring to some 

 box-elder trees growing there. See the various nimibers indicat- 

 ing places in and about the canyon for which names have been 

 obtained, especially [28:12]; see also plate 15.
