HARRINGTON] PLACE-NAMES 481 



[29:39] (1) T'^anug.eqywikeji 'down-country place pueblo niin' 

 (T' anuge, see [Large Features], page 104; ■orjiinJcejl 'pueblo ruin' 

 < '"oywi'' ' pueblo', keji ' old ' postpound). Tliis name is merely de- 

 scriptive, and might be applied to any or all the pueblo ruins in the 

 region called T'an ngr [Large Features], p. 1 04, but it is applied espe- 

 cially to Galisteo ruin [29:39] and frequently also to Pecos Pueblo 

 ruin [29:33]. In the eighteenth century Galisteo was still inhab- 

 ited ))y southern or "Tano" Tewa; see under Names of Tkibes 

 AND Peoples, page 576. It was the most important and at last 

 the only pueblo of the southern Tewa. and is always spoken of as 

 having been their chief pueblo. It is not strange therefore that 

 Galisteo Pueblo was always considered to be the T' iDuigeqrjuii 

 par excellence. Galisteo Pueblo was usually understood under 

 the name T'ainig.eoywi when no other southern Tewa pueblo was 

 specilied. The Tewa informants think it prol)able that T'anug.e- 

 ^oywi had also another Tewa name which applied to it only, l)ut 

 such a name, if it ever existed, appears to be no longer remem- 

 bered by the surviving Tewa. The writer obtained the name 

 T'anug^e at all the Rio Grande Tewa villages except Tesuque, 

 and also from an old I'ano Tewa woman living at Santo Domingo, 

 whose parents used to live at the place. Schoolcraft' appears to 

 be the first to publish the Tewa name and meaning. He incor- 

 porates a note b}^ the translator (evidently Buckingham Smith, 

 according to Mr. Hodge) as follows: 



These passages [from the Diary of Francisco Garces, 1775-76] were read in 

 the Spanish to Jose Maria, an educated Indian of New Mexico, a Tejua, visit- 

 ing "Wasliington this summer [18.54?]; who, after conversing a moment with his 

 companions in their native tongue, stated that tliey had the linowdedge, from 

 tradition, that a part of the people of Galisten, a long time ago, went to Mocjui, 

 and others to Santa Domingo . . . Galisteo, he continued, is a ruin; its Indian 

 nameisTanoque; the translation is, 'the lower settlement.' The language they 

 spoke was very like ours, but not the same. 



The name really means of course, ' down-country place', of which 

 the renderinggivenisagoodfree translation. "Ta-ge-uing-ge":'' 

 given, as Tano Tewa name. "T'a-ge Uing-ge"':^ given as the 

 Tano Tewa name. "Tage-uingge":* given as the Tano Tewa 

 name. "Tage - unge.'"^ "Tan - ge- wiil -ge"." '"Tagewinge".'
