TAJIQUE TAKELMA 



673 



Tajique (probably the Hispanized form 

 of the Tewa name ( Tashi'ke?) of the pue- 

 blo, the Tigua name being Tush-yit-yay, 

 or Tuh-yityay. — Bandelier). A former 

 Tigua pueblo aboutSOm. n. e. of Belen, the 

 ruins of which are situated on the n. and 

 w. border of the present Settlement of the 

 same name, on the s. bank of the Arroyo 

 de Tajique, in central New Mexico. It 

 was the seat of the mission of San Miguel, 

 established probably in 1629. In 1674 its 

 population, which then numbered about 

 300, was augmented by the addition of 600 

 Tigua from Quarai, who were compelled 

 by the Apache to abandon their pueblo. 

 Little peace, however, was found at 

 Tajique, for in the following year this 

 village also was permanently abandoned 

 for the same cause, the inhabitants 

 gradually drifting to El Paso. A remnant 

 of the Tigua now living near the latter 

 place claim to have come originally from 

 Tajique and other pueblos in the n. Con-

Takelma (from the native name Dda- 

 gelmd^n, * those dwelling along the river'). 

 A tribe which, together with tlie Upper 

 Takelma (q. v. ), or Lat'ga'^wa^ forms the 

 Takilman linguistic family of Powell. 

 They occupy the middle portion of the 

 course of Rogue r. in s. w. Oregon from 

 and perhaps including Illinois r. to about 

 Table Rock, the northern tributaries of 

 Rogue r. between these limits, and the 

 upper course of Cow cr. Linguistically 

 they are very sharply distinguished from 

 their neighbors, their language showing 

 little or no resemblance in even general 

 morphologic and phonetic traits to either 

 the Athapascan or the Klamath; it was 

 spoken in at least two dialects. They 

 seem to have been greatly reduced in 

 numbers at the time of the Rogue River 

 war; at the present day the few survivors, 

 a half dozen or so, reside on the Siletz 

 res., Oreg. J. O. Dorsey (Takelma MS. 

 vocab., B. A. E., 1884) gives the follow- 

 ing list of village names: Hashkushtun, 

 Hudedut, Kashtata, Kthotaime, Nakila, 

 Salwahka, Seethltun, Sestikustun, Se- 

 waathlchutun, Shkashtun, Skanowethl- 

 tunne, Talmamiche, Talotunne, Tthowa- 

 che, Tulsulsun, Yaasitun, and Yushlali. 

 These are nearly all Athapascan in form. 

 The following native Takelma village 

 names were procured by Dr Edward 

 Sapir in 1906: Gelyalk (Gelyalk'), Di- 

 lomi(Di^lomi), Gwenpunk (Gwenp'unk'), 

 Hayaalbalsda (Haya^lbalsda), Daktgamik 

 (Dak't'gamik'), Didalam (Didahim), Dak- 

 tsasin (Dak'ts!a.sifi) or Daldanik, Hagwal 

 (Hagwal), Somouluk (S^omo^luk'), and 

 Hatonk (Hatlonk'). 



Culturally the Takelma were closely 

 allied to the Shasta of n. California, with 

 whom they frequently intermarried. 

 Their main dependence for food was 

 the acorn, which, after shelling, pound- 

 ing, sifting, and seething, was boiled 

 into a mush. Other vegetable foods, 

 such as the camas root, various seeds, 

 and berries (especially manzanita), were 

 also largely used. Tobacco was the 

 only plant cultivated. Of animal foods 

 the chief was salmon and other river fish 

 caught by line, spear, and net; deer were 

 hunted by running them into an inclo-
