436 ETHNOOEOGRAPHY OF THE TEWA INDIANS [eth. ann .2;) 



Queinada [28:67]. To reach these places from Cochiti, it is best to follow the 

 sand}' bottom of the Peralta torrent [28:71], going almost due west. The 

 Mishtshya Ko-te lies north of the broad gulch [28:71], between it and the 

 Canada of Cochiti [28:-i2]. It is a steep rock forming the eastern end of a 

 towering potrero. I have not ascended to its summit, but know on good 

 authority that on it stand the ruins of two liuildings. The trail to the Potrero 

 turns aside from the Peralta [to [28:71]] near where a dark, deep cleft, theCafion 

 del Ko-ye [28:65], runs into it from the northwest.' 



See Pueblo ruin on Potrero en el Medio under [28:unlocated]. 

 [28:t>5] (1) Koje^intsPi 'Coye Canyon' (/lo/e <Span. (4), below; 'iyf 

 locative and adjective-forming postfix; tsPi 'canyon'). =Eng. 

 (3). Span. (4). 



{■!) Cochiti KuUeica^atf of obscure et}'mology (kutse unex- 

 plained, said to .sound somewhat like Vohi 'antelope'; Ica'atf 

 'deep, shut-in canyon'). 



(3) Eng. Cove Canyon. (<Span.) =Tewa (1), Span. (4). 



(4) Span. Canon del Coj'e 'roof -door canj'ou'. =Tewa (1), 

 Eng. (2). "Canon del Ko-ye," "Ko-ye."' Span, coye 'roof- 

 door' is a corruption of Tewa Tc'ojl 'roof -door', and is a term 

 quite generally used in New jNlexican Span.; see under Ceo- 

 tiRAPHiCAL Terms. The canyon boars this name because it is 

 boxlike, almost like a room. 



"A dark, deep cleft, the Canon del Ko-ye, runs into it from the 

 northwest . . . The Canyon del Ko-ye is a dark, narrow chasm, 

 fearful to look into from above; towards its lower portions the 

 rocks overhang in such a degree as almost to exclude 

 daylight." ' 



Coye Canyon is not as long as Quemado [28:66], but it is more 

 boxlike and carries more water. 

 [28:66] (1) Cochiti Polcdwa 'western canyon' (^)<; 'west'; hdwa 'can- 

 yon'). It is called so because of its location; cf. [28:71] and 

 [28:6l'] canyon; see [28:71]. 



('2) Eng. Quemado Canj'on. (<Span.). = Span. (3). 



(3) Span. Caiion Quemado, Canada Quemada 'burnt can \'on'. 

 = Eng. (2). ' ' Canada Quemada." ' 



Beyond the mouth of the Ko-ye [28:65], the gulch [28:71] changes its name 

 to that of the Canada Quemada, and bet'omes a wooded gorge; but as we go 

 farther west, it appears still narrower, and its sides higher and steeper. At a 

 distance of 12 miles from the pueblo [28:77], a partly wooded ridge traverses 

 it, and on thesummit of this ridge, ciillcd Potrero de la Canada Quemada [28:67], 

 lies the ruin of which Figure 16 of Plate i [of the Final Report'] gives the shape 

 and relative size.'
