Tehueco (according to Buelna the name 

 is from the Cahita term teeca, tehueca, 

 'sky'; or from ieeca 'sky,' and tehueli 

 'blue' ). One of the Cahita tribes living 

 on the Rio Fuerte, about lat. 26° 40', n.w. 

 Sinaloa, Mexico. It included the settle- 

 ments of Biara, Charac, Hichucio, Mata- 

 pan, Sibirijoa, and Tehueco. The dialect 

 spoken was the same as that of the Zuaque.

 pueblo on the s. slope of the hills on which 

 stands the present pueblo of San Juan, on 

 the Rio Grande in New Mexico. Accord- 

 ing to Bandelier (Arch. Inst. Papers, iv, 

 84, 1892) the Tewa claim that this pueblo 

 marks the center of the range of their 

 people, and that the division into two 

 branches, of which the Tewa became the 

 northern and the Tano the southern, 

 took place there in very ancient times.

Tejon (Span.: 'raccoon'). A local name 

 often applied to certain groups of Indians 

 at the s. end of San Joaquin valley, Cal. 

 It includes Indians of three linguistic 



families: Ft Tejon, on Canada de las 

 Uvas, was held by a division of the 

 Chumash; the upper part of Tejon 

 rancho, including the part of Tejon cr. in 

 the mountains, was held by the Shosho- 

 nean Gitanemuk; the lower part of this 

 stream and rancho, including the present 

 ranch settlement (the headquarters of a 

 reservation established in 1853) on Paso 

 cr., belonged either to the same Shosho- 

 neans or to the Yokuts tribe called 

 Yauelmani, or at least was visited by the 

 latter. On the establishment of theTejon 

 res. in 1853, Indians from a considerable 

 area were assembled thereon. In 1864 

 most of these were removed to Tule River 

 res., where the Yauelmani are now popu- 

 larly known as Tejon Indians. On Te- 

 jon rancho, at the base of the mountains, 

 there is still a settlement, mainly of Sho- 

 shoneans, and these principally of the 

 Gitanemuk. ( h. w. h. )

 Tejones (Span.: 'raccoons'). A tribe 

 living at Reynosa, Mexico, on the Rio 

 Grande, at the time of its foundation in 

 the middle of the 18th century. In 1757, 

 when Tienda de Cuervo inspected the 

 new settlement, he reported that this wan 

 the native place of the Tejones (Revista, 

 1757, MS. in Archive Gen.). Pimentel 

 (Lenguas, ii, 409, 1865) uses the name as 

 synonymous with Coahuilteco. If this is 

 correct, it probably settles the question of 

 the linguistic affiliation of their asso- 

 ciates, as the Comecrudos, Pintos, Maya- 

 pemes, Cueros Quemados, Zalapaguemes, 

 and others. By 1757 the Tejones had 

 entered the missions at both Reynosa and 

 Camargo, but in greater numbers at the 

 former place, where they mingled with 

 the tribes named above (Mission records 

 in the parish churches at Reynosa and 

 Camargo, examined in 1 907) . According 

 to Ripperda, governor of Texas, by 1773 

 most of the tribe had acquired the Span- 

 ish language (Complaint about the en- 

 slavement of Indians in Nuevo Santander, 

 MS. in Bexar Archives, 1773). The ex- 

 isting mission records at Reynosa and 

 Camargo show that the Tejones remained 

 at these missions well into the 19th cen- 

 tury. The remnant of the tribe, together 

 with a few Comecrudos and Pintos, still 

 live (1907) between modern Reynosa and 

 Camargo, at Las Prietas, which is about on 

 the site of Old Reynosa, where Cuervo 

 found the Tejones in 1757. Dr. A. S. 

 Gatschet reported them at the same 

 place in 1887. (h. e. b. )
