Apache. Saie of obscure etymology. This is applied to every kind 

 of Apache or Athapascan, including the Navaho. See Chiricahua 

 Apache, Coyotero Apache, Jicarilla Apache, Llanero Apache, 

 Mescalero Apache, Navaho, OUero Apache, and San Carlos Apache. 

 The Jemez name for Navaho or Athapascan is Kfald, plu. ' Efa- 

 laf ; also Efaldtsa^a, plu. EfcLldtscCaf {tsd'd 'person'). The 

 Pecos name was presumably the same, and this explains the 

 "Querechos" "Quereches", "Guerechos" of Coronado. The 

 Jemez, and presumably the Pecos also, call the Apache Togokfdid, 

 plu. TogokfdUif 'east Navaho' 'east Athapascan' {togo 'east'; 

 Icfdld as above).. This is sometimes abbreviated to Togo, plu. 

 Togof (/ plu. postfix). These Jemez are known to a San Ildefonso 

 Indian who has lived at Jemez, who says that the Tewa have no 

 general name for Apache except SaM, and never use an expres- 

 sion meaning 'east Apache' as the Jemez do. 



California Indians. Kalip'ornijalowa 'California people' 'Cali- 

 fornia Indians' {Kalip'ornia <Span. California; towd 'people'). 

 Tewa who visited California about 18-f9 give interesting infor- 

 mation about the customs of various California tribes. An old 

 man of San Ildefonso tells the following: 



When tlie Mexicans came to California they found Indian people there. 

 They had songs and dances much like those of the Pueblos. They fled away 

 to escape the Mexicans. They went beyond the sea in a canoe. The chief 

 filled a big bag with macaw feathers and took it w-ith them, Across the sea 

 they still sing and dance in a far country, singing Pueblo-like songs. Others 

 climbed a gigantic spruce tree which was growing in California, and now live 

 in the sky. 



Cheyenne. Sajxnq, derived perhaps from some Indian source. 

 The Taos, Jicarilla Apache, and Ute use names of ver^' similar 

 sound. The names may all come from English or Spanish. 



Chinaman. Tfinu. (<Span. Chino 'Chinaman'). 



Chiricahua Apache. Tsiialnwa, TsUakawasa^e i^TsUakawa <Span. 

 Chiricahua; Saie 'Apache').
