468 ETHNOGEOGEAPHY OF THE TEWA INDIANS [eth. avn. 29 



"Cienega Creek"; see [29:17]. The map of the Territory of 

 New Mexico compiled by the General Land Office, 1909, does 

 not give Cloneg-iiilla, hilt shows the "Cienoo-uilla Grant" in the 

 vicinity of Tetilla Mountain [29:4] and northwest of "La 

 Cienega" [29:21], the latter being located on the lower course 

 of Arroyo Hondo Creek [29:17]. "La Cienega "[29:21] is, how- 

 ever, located on Santa Fe Creek [29:Nj by the United States 

 Geological Survey,' while Cieneguilla [29:20] does not appear at 

 all. Post-route maps of New Mexico give neither Cieneguilla 

 nor Cienega. The locations of Cieneguilla and Cienega on [29] 

 may be regarded as probably correct. See [29:21], and San Ilde- 

 fonso Kati'Q.e [29: unlocated]. 

 [29:21] (1) Eng. Cienega settlement. (<Span.). =Span. (2). 



(2) Span. Cienega 'marsh' 'marshy meadow.' =Eng. (1). 

 Where the marshy place is, from which this place was named, has 

 not been learned. Cf. [29:20], to wliich it perhaps gave the name. 

 No Tewa or other Indian name for Cienega could be learned. 



Cienega was located on [29] Ity a Mexican who lives at Ciene- 

 guilla [29:20]. According to this informant Cienega is situated 

 on the lower course of Arroyo Hondo Creek [29:17], 3 or 4 miles 

 aljove the junction of the latter with Santa Fe Creek [29:5]. 

 According to Bandelier the name Cienega was formerly applied 

 to the now ruined pueblo [29:23], cj. v. For a discussion of tlie 

 position of Cienega according to various authorities, see under 

 [29:20]. See also [29:17] which is perhaps sometimes so called 

 from Cienega, ''Cienega Creek," and San Ildefonso ^fegt' [29: 

 nnlocated]. 

 [29:22] (1) Tano Tewa "Tzi-gu-ma, or Tzi-gu-may,"- given as signi- 

 fying "a 'lonely cottonwood tree,' in Spanish 'alamo solo.'"^ 

 None of the Tewa informants questioned knew this name, nor 

 could they etymologize it. The final y of the alternative form 

 is perhaps for T' locative and adjective-forming postfix. One 

 thing is certain: the name does not mean "lonely cottonwood 

 tree" in Tewa or Keresan. 



(2) Span. "Cienega".* This means 'the mai'sh', and is the 

 same name as is applied to [29:21], q. v. 



Bandelier says of this pueblo ruin: 



We meet with a considerable one [pueblo ruin] at the Cienega [29:21], near 

 where the Santa F6 stream [29:8] enters a narrow defile called the 'Bocas' 

 [29:25]. This is the pueblo of Tzi-gu-ma, or Tzi-gu-may. Until 16S0, this vil- 

 lage, under the name of 'La Cienega,' belonged to the ecclesiastical jurisdic- 

 tion of the mission of San Marcos [£tmy^' 2??i'i9?« [29:unlocated].] ... It
