 ing to San Fehpe tradition, is attributed 

 the slaughter of many of the inhabitants 

 of the former Cochiti town of Kuapa in 

 New Mexico, in consequence of which 

 the pueblo was permanently abandoned. 

 The Cochiti themselves assert that the 

 destroyers of the ancient settlement men-

 volcanic tufa blocks, roughly dressed, its 

 ground-plan forming a large rectangle 

 about 150 by 210 ft. The pueblo proba- 

 bly antedated the great Puye settlement

Pinnokas. Mentioned by Schoolcraft 

 (Travels, viii, 1821) as one of the tribes 

 seen by Lahontan on his imaginary jour- 

 ney up "Longr." in 1703. Misquoted, 

 and the name intended not determinable. 



Pins. Slender cylindrical pieces of 

 pointed and headed bone, shell, wood, 

 horn, and metal were made by the In- 

 dians for special purposes as well as for 

 ordinary fastening. In many instances 

 awl-like worked bones, found in ancient 

 sites, were blanket fasteners such as are 

 u.sed by the N. W. coast tribes, and prob- 

 ably such pins were common among 

 tribes that wore robes and blankets. 

 Pins also were employed in joinery, in 

 the fastening of bags and tent flaps, 

 for stretching skins in drying, and as 

 pickers for the pipe. Until recently they 

 were stuck in holes made in the lobe and 

 rim of the ear by a number of tribes e. 

 of the Mississippi, and nose and ear pins 

 were seen by explorers among California 

 and Oregon tribes. Large and small 

 pins of shell have been found in sites in 

 the E. and on the Pacific coast (Holmes, 

 Putnam). Thorns serve as pins among 

 the Ntlakyapamuk of Thompson r. , Brit. 

 Col. ( Teit). The most general use of the 

 pins was as a support for the plumes worn 

 in the hair. A pin was used by the Es- 

 kimo for closing wounds in game to pre- 

 vent loss of blood, which is a delicacy 

 among this people. 



Consult Holmes in 2d Rep. B. A. E., 213, 

 1883; Niblack in Rep. Nat. Mus. 1888, 

 1890; Putnam in Wheeler Surv. Rep., vii, 

 1879; Smith in Mem. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist, 

 VII, pt. ii, 424, 1900; Teit, ibid., i, pt. iv, 

 187, 1900. (w. H.) 



Pintados (so called by the Spaniards be- 

 cause of their custom of tattooing or paint- 

 ing their bodies ) . A tribe, some members 

 of which visited Fray Marcos de Niza while 

 at Matape, a town of the Eudeve in cen- 

 tral Sonora, Mexico, and who claimed to 

 live E. of that place. Bandelier (Arch. 

 Inst. Papers, v, 133, 1890) has been una- 

 ble to determine whether the original 

 narration refers to the custom of tattooing 

 or painting; if the latter, he is inclined to 

 the opinion that they were Pima or So- 

 baipuri; otherwise they are not identifi- 

 able.
