Shuwimi. The Turquoise clans of the 

 Keresan pueblos of Laguna, Sia, San Fe- 

 lipe, and Cochiti, N.Mex. The Turquoise 

 clan of Laguna claims to have come origi- 

 nally from Sandia. The corresponding 

 clans in Sia and San Felipe are extinct. 

 According to Bandelier (Arch. Inst. Pa- 

 pers, III, 301, 1890) this clan, since the be- 

 ginning of the 19th century, seems to rep- 

 resent what may be called the conservative 

 element among the Rio Grande Keresan 

 tribes. Ci. Tanyl. (f. w. h.)

Sia (from Tsia, the native name). A 

 small Keresan tribe inhabiting a single 

 pueblo on the n. bank of Jemez r., about 

 16 m. N. w. of Bernalillo, N. Mex. Cas- 

 taneda (1541) mentioned one village of 

 the tribe, but 42 years later Espejo visited 

 their "province," which he called Pu- 

 names (q. v.), describing it as containing 

 5 pueblos, of which Sia was the largest. 

 Onate (1598) mentions only Tria or Trios, 

 which is apparently identical with Sia. 

 Opposite the present Sia are the remains 

 of a pueblo called Kakanatzatia, while 

 N. of the town lies another ruined village 

 known as Kohasaya. It is not improb- 

 able that at least one of these was among 

 the 5 settlements alluded to by Espejo in 

 1583, although the Indians now claim that 

 they occupy the same site as in the days 

 of Coronado. 



Sia engaged with the other Pueblos in 

 the revolt against Spanish authority in 



1680, making a determined stand in their 

 village until Aug. 1689, when they were 

 assaulted by Domingo de Cruzate, the 

 pueblo being completely wrecked and the 

 tribe decimated in the most bloody en- 

 gagement of the Pueblo rebellion. The 

 friendly attitude of these Indians toward 

 the Spaniards from this time to the close 

 of the revolt in 1696 created considerable 

 friction between them and the people of 

 Jemez and Cochiti. Sia was the seat of a 

 Spanish mission from an early date, hav-

ing Jemez and Santa Ana as its visitas after 

 1782. According to Bandelier the pueblo 

 doubtless owes its decline since the revolt 

 to the constant inter-killing going on for 

 the supposed evil practice of witchcraft. 

 Pop. 106 in 1890, 119 in 1910. As is to be 

 expected in a tribe that has lost so much 

 in population within the period of reli- 

 able tradition, many of the clans once 

 represented are now extinct. Those
