514 ETHNOGEOGRAPPIY OF THE TEWA INDIANS [etii. ann. 29 



(8) Eng. Sandia Mountain(s). (<Span.)- =Span. (iU). Cf. 

 Tewa (3). "The Sandia. "' "Sandia chain. "= "Sandia Moun- 

 tains."' 



(9) Span. "Sierra de Puaray."* The mountain is thus called 

 from Puaray [29:unlocated], a former Tiwa pueblo situated near 

 Bernalillo [29:96j, just as it is called Sandia Mountain from 

 Sandia Pueblo [29:100]. Bandelier" identities the name with the 

 "Sierra de Sandia." 



(10) Span. Sierra de Sandia 'Sandia Movmtain', so called from 

 Sandia Pueblo [29:l00], which is situated in the Rio Grande Val- 

 ley opposite the central part of the mountain. = Eng. 8. Cf . 

 Tewa {.?), Span. (9). "Sierra de Sandia."" 



(11) Span. Sierra de los ilansos 'Mansos Mountains.' "Sierra 

 de los Mansos."^ According to Bandelier this name refers to both 

 the ]Manzano [29:104] and the Sandia Mountains; see (8), above). 

 See also [29:104]. 



This is a very large and conspicuous mountain, its highest peak 

 [29:84] rising to 10,609 feet, according to the Wheeler Survey. 



The town of Bernalillo [29:96] lies 5,084 feet above the sea level, and the 

 base of the Sandia Mountains is not over 5 miles distant. The summit 

 [29:84] is 10,609 (?) feet high, and the western front descends in almost per- 

 pendicular cliffs and crags. The appearance of this chain as seen from the 

 town [29:96] or from the opposite river bank, is therefore unusually 

 impressive.'* 



Sandia Mountain is the sacred cardinal mountain of the south, 

 of the Tewa; see Cakdinal Mountains, page 44. According 

 to Tewa mythology its summit was the home of ^ (jFuwapiijj', 

 father of the two War Gods, and there the War Gods were reared. 

 Wqlcwijo 'Wind Old-Woman' also lives on its summit; she makes 

 the wind. Mrs. Stevenson^ tells us that according to Zuiii my- 

 thology the War Gods went to live on the summit of Sandia Moun- 

 tain when their activities were finished. The Cochiti also have a 

 tradition to this effect, but the Tewa appear to know nothing of 

 this. A friend who has climbed the mountain informs the writer 

 that he noticed no stone pile or shrine on the summit, yet a San 

 Juan Indian stated that the Keresans make, or at least used to 

 make, religious pilgrimages to the sunnnit. See [29:84], [29:85], 

 [29:100], [29:104].
