HARRINGTON] PLACE-NAMES 479 



The upper course of thi.s creek is the canyon [29:37]. The 

 freshets of the creek have damaged villages of the Santo Domingo 

 Indians; see under [28:109J. For this reason Bandelier speaks 

 of it as the "dangerous Arroyo de Galisteo".^ See [29:39], 

 [29:40], [29:44]. 

 [29:35] (1) Eng. Glorieta settlement. (<Span.). =Span. (2). 



(2) Span. Glorieta 'little glory'. =Eng. (1). 



When or why this name was applied the writer has been unable 

 to discover. It was already in use at the time of the battle at 

 Glorieta in 1862. See [29:37]. 

 [29:36] (1) Penas Xegras Pueblo ruin. (<Span.). =Span. (2). 



(2) Span. Peiias Negras 'black rocks'. =Eng. (1). "Peiias 

 Negras".- The name is said to be given because of the presence 

 of black cliffs in the vicinity. 



I know of no vestiges of antiquity south and east of the Arroyo Hondo 

 [29:17] nearer than those at Penas Negras, and in the vicinity of Lamy 

 [29:38], on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fc Railroad.' 



The ruin at Pei5as Negras, 8 miles south-southeast of the capital of New- 

 Mexico, I have onlj- seen, not explored. It seemed to me to be that of a small 

 communal pueblo. A considerable collection of relics from this locaHty was made 

 by a Mr. Cole, and is at present in possession of the Historical Society of Santa 

 Fe. Incidentally I learned that the Tehuas [Tewa] (or Tanos) claim the 

 pueblo at Peiias Negras as belonging to their ancestors. It lies on an eminence 

 west of the Pecos road, near the edge of the forest, with a fair view to the 

 southwest, and there is a spring in its vicinity.'' 



The present writer has not succeeded in learning any Tewa 

 name for this ruin. 

 [29:37] (1) Pii/tpojd/niu 'heart water meet arroyo' {pyjf 'lieart' 

 'middle'; po 'water' 'river' 'creek'; je 'to meet' 'to form a 

 confluence'; hu^u 'large groove' 'arroyo' 'canyon'). This 

 canyon is always called hau, never fsTi 'canyon'. The Tewa of 

 the present day are unable to explain fully the meaning of this 

 name and do not know why it is applied. 



(2) Eng. Apache Canyon. (<Span.). =Span. (5). 



(3) Eng. Lamy Canyon. So called because Lamy settlement 

 [29:30] is at the mouth of it. 



(4) (jlorieta Canyon. So called because Glorieta [29:35] is 

 in the canyon. 



(5) Span. Caiion Apache, Caiion de los Apaches 'Apache 

 Canyon'. AVhy this name is given is explained in the ciiiotation 

 below. 



This is the deep canyon of upper Galisteo Creek [29:34], which 

 extends from the vicinity of Glorieta [29:35] to that of Laniv 

 [29:38].
