fish. The Sun seems to l)e connected in 

 some way with the culture-hero. He 

 created the Yuchi, having caused their 

 forebears to spring from a drop of men- 

 strual blood in the sky world, whence 

 they were transferred to this earth. He 

 is likewise the author of the human class 

 and clan system and the religious rites, 

 l)ut he does not ai>pear prominently as a 

 transformer. He is furthermore the giver 

 of all that is materially good and bene- 

 ficial in their lives. The trickster, on the 

 other hand, is named Rabbit. He effects 

 a few tranHformations in the course of his 

 mischief-making career, without any par- 

 ticular motive. Other myths are held by 

 the various clans, and repeated generally 

 in praise of their totem. Many myth ele- 

 ments from negro sources may have been 

 embodied by these Indians in their ani- 

 mal tales, probably through contact with 

 the Creek negroes. Other types of widely 

 distributed myths are the race between 

 two animal rivals, the imitation of the 

 host, the magic flight, stealing of lire, tar- 

 man story, tlie legend about an emigra- 

 tion of part of the tribe, the origin of death 

 resulting from someone's mistake, and the 

 explanation of various peculiarities pos- 

 sessed by the present-day animals. See

Yu6. The name applied by the ( iarzas, 

 who were living in 182S at Mier, on the 

 .s. side of the Rio (irande, to the band of 

 Carrizos who lived at Camargo. The band 



of Carrizos about Laredo, Texas, they 

 called Yeme. Those at Camargo were at 

 this time still in part unsettled and un- 

 civilized. According to the naturalist 

 Luis Berlandier, who visited these places 

 in the year named, the Garzas were com- 

 monly known in the country as Carrizos, 

 yet their languages were entirely distinct, 

 the two tribes being able to understand 

 each other only by signs. He adds that 

 the language of the Yue was limited to 

 the Carrizo tribe only (Berlandier and 

 Chovel, Diario de Viage de Limites, 144, 

 146, 1850). (h. e. b.) 



Yufera. A district (tribe) speaking a

 mentioned without location or other de-

Yugeuingge (Tewa: 'village of the ra- 

 vine'). A former Tewa pueblo on the w. 

 bank of the Rio Grande, opposite the 

 present ])ueblo of San Juan, near the site 

 of the village of Chamita, n. N. Mex. It 

 was visited in 1542 by Francisco de Bar- 

 rionuevo, of Coronado's expedition, but 

 little information concerning it was ob- 

 tained, as the inhabitants at the apj^roach 

 of the Spaniards fled to the mountains, 

 where, it was said, they had four strong 

 villages that could not be reached with 

 horses. The pueblo was voluntarily re- 

 linquished to the Spaniards under Oi'iate 

 in 1598, the inhabitants joining their 

 kindred at San Juan. In the year named 

 the flrst white settlement in the W. 

 was here made, under the name "San 

 Francisco de los Espafioles," and on Sept. 

 8 the chapel was consecrated. In the 

 following year the name was changed to 

 San Gabriel, which has been retained by 

 the ^Mexicans as the name of the place 

 to this day. San Gabriel was abandoned 

 in the spring of 1605 and Santa Fe founded 

 as the seat of the New Mexican provincial 

 government. See Bandelier (1) iti Arch.
