(10) Keresan (dialect unspecified) "Cuame".'* Cochiti Jcwemse 

 would mean 'southern people', and it is very likely that for this 

 the word is intended. 



We must therefore leave the Rio Grande for the present, and turn to that 

 western tributary [29:89] where a branch of the Queres [Keresans], very 

 characteristically dcsit^nated by Antonio de Espejo as 'Pun-a-mes', or 

 'People in the West','" already dwelt in the sixteenth century. 



Espejo's '"Puname.s" may stand for a Keresan jc>o'?iye?Ha5/ in the 

 Cochiti dialect the form ponye occurs with the same meaning as 

 j)o 'west'; Cochiti mas means 'people'. The Cochiti term mean- 

 ing 'south people' or 'west people' would apply to all the people 

 in the regions designated, whatever their language or attiliations. 

 Bandolier does not make clear that "Pun-a-mes" or "Cuame" 

 was applied to the Sia, but, following Espejo's evident u.se of the 

 term, employs it here to designate the Sia-Santa Ana branch of 

 the Keresans. He appears to think the term 'south people* 

 inappropriate. It is safe to say that the Kere.sans of the Rio 

 Grande Valle}' never applj' the term 'south people' or 'west 

 people' to the Sia-Santa Ana Keresans as a special designation, 

 but that if they do think of their cardinal location they think of 

 them as being as much in the south as in the west. Elsewhere 

 Bandelier -" says : ' ' Espejo, who calls the Cias ' Punames ', mentions 

 a cluster of five [pueblos], the largest of which was called 'Sia'"'.-'

^^^' Relacioii del Via<ie (Doc. delndias, vol. xv, p. 11), and Expediente y Relacion, p. 178. The proper 

 Queres [Keresan] word is ' Pun-ama', but the corrupt version in Hakluyt has ' Cuame.' El Viaie que 

 hizo, p. 9. This leads to an imi)ortunt misconception, as 'Ku-a-ma ' means * the people in the Smdh. 

 How the mistjike was made, while still preserving a word of the Queres [Keresan] idiom, is a my.s- 

 tery, as Cuame is plainly as good a Queres word as Puname, but with au entirely different sigiiilica- 

 tion." -Bandelier, op. cit., p. 193.
