550 ETHNOGEOGRAPHY OF THE TEWA INDIANS [eth. ann. 29 



sporadically, two sites of former pueblos are pointed out. These are called El 

 Tuerto [Ka-po] and Valverde ["Sem-po-ap-i" [29;unlocated], p.554],and both 

 lie within one mile to the north of Golden [29:75]. The villages were small, 

 and the Tanos of Santo Domingo gave me their names as Ka-po and Sem-po-ap-i 

 [29:unlocated]. Barely distinguishable mounds indicate the sites, and I found 

 neither pottery nor obsidian on them, only fragments of basalt and other rocks. 

 Both these pueblos may have been inhabited in 1598, according to the list 

 given to Ofiate by the Indians at San Juan, on the 9th of September of that 

 year. [lFootnote:'\ Obedicncia y VaMilUije de San Juan Baptista, p. 114: ' Y el de 

 la Cienega de Carabajal, y el de Sant Marcos, Sant Chripstobal, Santa Ana, 

 Ojana, Quipana, el del Puerto y el Pueblo quemado '. But it may be that, inv 

 stead of 'Puerto,' Tiierto was intended; or Puerto may have been applied to 

 the entrance of the Bocas at the Bajada [29:26]. Further on, I shall refer 

 to a singular passage in the Memoria di Castano de Sosa, which may relate to 

 these two villages. '] 



San Ildefonso Katege 'lift leaf {ka 'leaf; teg.e 'to lift' 'to pick up'). 

 This is the name of a place somewhere in the vicinity of Cie- 

 neguilla [29:2(>] or Cienega [29:21]. The name was obtained 

 from two old San Ildefonso Indians and one younger man of that 

 pueblo, but, strange to say, none of them was familiar with the 

 country about Cieneguilla and Cienega nor knew exactly where 

 KatcQe is situated. 



TanoTewa(?) "Kii:>ana", etc. This name is unknown to the Tewa 

 informants. It sounds to the Tewa as if it might be a corruption 

 of Tewa Icipsenneii 'beyond the prairie-dogs' {kl 'prairie-dog''; 

 psen}ise 'beyond'), but this makes little sense, "Quipana".' 

 "Ki-pa-na".^ "Ki-pan-na".* "Kipana".' "Guipana"'." 



The same is true [may have been inhabited in 1598] also of the ruins called 

 O-jan-a [29:unlocated] and Ki-pan-na. I have not visited them; but they 

 lie south of the settlement of Tejon [29:81], in the hilly country separating the 

 Sandia chain [29:8;!] from the San Francisco [29:73]. That they were Tanos 

 villages there can be no doubt, and the catalogue of pueblos which I have 

 mentioned includes them. Still, this no absolute proof that these four pueblos' 

 ■were occupied at the time of Onate. The list was made at San Juan among the 

 Tehuas [Tewa] , and they may have given the names of villages abandoned some- 

 time previous without their knowledge. Intercourse even between kindred 

 tribes in ancient times was irregular, and frequently interrupted. Several 

 pueblos might have been given up in one section of New Mexico without a 

 neighboring stock hearing of it for a number of years afterwards.*
