Puyallup. An important Salish tribe 

 on Puyallup r. and Commencement bay, 

 w. Wash. According to Gibbs, their desig- 

 nation is the Nisqualli name for the mouth 

 of Puj'allup r., but Evans (Bancroft, Hist. 

 Wash., 66, 1890) says the name means 

 'shadow,' from the dense shade of its 

 forests. By treaty at Medicine creek, 

 Wash., Dec. 26, 1854, the Puyallup and 

 other tribes at the head of Puget sd. 

 ceded their lands to the United States 

 and agreed to go upon a reservation set 

 apart for them on the sound near She- 

 nahnam cr.. Wash. In 1901 there were 

 536 on Puyallup res., Wash.; in 1909,469.

Puye (Tewa: Pu-ye^, 'assembling place 

 of cottontail rabbits.' — J. P. Harring- 

 ton). A large ruined pueblo of worked 

 blocks of tufa on a mesa about 10 m. 

 w. of the Rio Grande and a mile s. of 

 Santa Clara canyon, near the intersec- 

 tion of the boundaries of Rio Arriba, 

 Sandoval, and Santa Fe cos., N. Mex. 

 Along the southern face of the mesa, 

 extending for many hundreds of yards, 

 is a series of cliff-dwellings or cavate 

 lodges excavated in the tufa, and formerly 

 provided with porches or shelters, the 



roof-beams of which were set in holes in 

 the wall of the cliff. The pueblo and the 

 cliff-dwellings are attributed to certain 

 clans of the Tewa, and the cliff-dwellings 

 have been occupied in part at least during 

 the historical period, although they are 

 doubtless of prehistoric origin. See 7th

Pyrite, or Iron pyrites. The glisten- 

 ing yellow crystals of disulphid of iron, 

 sometimes called "fool's gold," occur- 

 ring plentifully in many sections of the 

 country. The crystals, which present a 

 handsome appearance, were occasionally 

 employed by the Indians for ornaments 

 and amulets, and are found now and then 

 in the kit of the medicine-man. They 

 were also used in connection with stone 

 as strike-a-lights. See Iron. (w. h. h. )

Quabaug (said to be contracted from 

 Msquabaug, or Msquapaug, ' red (or bloody) 

 pond'). A tribe or band, probably of 

 the Nipmuc group, formerly living in 

 Worcester co., Mass. Their principal 

 village, near the site of Brookfleld, bore

 der King Philip in 1675, abandoned their 

 territory, and never returned.
