 Soc, 168, 1877. 



Namaycush. One of the names of the 

 lake trout {Salmo vdiiKn^cush), INIacki- 

 naw trout, or great lake trout, called 

 togue in Maine; from )ia)nel-us, which in 

 the Cree dialect of Algoncjuian signifies

 or a round valley). A Tewa pueblo, 



NAMBE MAN (pOTSHUNo) 



situated about 16 m. n." of Santa Fc, 

 N. Mex., on Nambe r., a small tributary 

 of the Rio Grande. It became the seat 

 of a Franciscan mission early in the 17th 

 century, but was reduced to a visita of 

 Pojoaque in 1782. Like Santa Clara and 

 Sia this pueblo doubtless owes its decline 

 to the constant intertribal execution for 

 supposed evil practices of witchcraft ( Ban- 

 delier in Arch. Inst. Pap., iii, 35, 1890). 

 Pop. 79 in 1890, 100 (est.) in 1904. The 

 Nambe people claim to have once inhab- 

 ited the now ruined pueblos of Agawano, 

 Kaayu, Keguayo, Kekwaii, Kopiwari, and 

 Tobhipangge. The Nambe clans, so far as 

 known, are Cloud (Owhu), Birch (Nana), 



Fire ( Pa) , INIountain Lion ( Qen ) , Eagle 

 (Tse), Bear (Ke), Tobacco (Sa), Sun 

 (Tan, extinct), Calabash (Po), Ant 

 (Kungyi), Earth (Nang), Grass (Ta).
