  Tunia. 
  — 
  In 
  the 
  mountains 
  surrounding 
  the 
  village 
  of 
  Tunia. 
  

  

  Guanaco.—To 
  the 
  east 
  of 
  the 
  paramo 
  of 
  Guanacas, 
  between 
  the 
  

   paramo 
  and 
  the 
  Inza 
  region 
  (Tierradentro), 
  south 
  of 
  the 
  Ovejas 
  River. 
  

   The 
  Guanaco 
  were 
  surrounded 
  by 
  Pdez. 
  This 
  was 
  the 
  only 
  tribe 
  of 
  

   the 
  Moguex-Coconuco 
  group 
  to 
  live 
  on 
  the 
  eastern 
  slope 
  of 
  the 
  Cordil- 
  

   lera 
  Central. 
  

  

  Chisquio. 
  — 
  Called 
  Cochesquio 
  by 
  Cieza 
  de 
  Ledn. 
  Probably 
  included 
  

   the 
  Indians 
  of 
  Piagua, 
  Achinte, 
  Alto 
  del 
  Key, 
  Chapa, 
  and 
  Pandi- 
  

   guando, 
  at 
  the 
  foot 
  of 
  the 
  Cordillera 
  Occidental. 
  

  

  Palace.— 
  Mentioned 
  only 
  by 
  Cieza 
  de 
  Le6n 
  (1862). 
  They 
  pro- 
  

   bably 
  lived 
  to 
  the 
  north 
  of 
  the 
  Puben. 
  It 
  is 
  possible 
  that 
  the 
  Indians 
  

   of 
  Mojibio 
  belonged 
  to 
  the 
  Palace 
  group. 
  

  

  Colaza. 
  — 
  Mentioned 
  only 
  by 
  Cieza 
  de 
  Le6n. 
  May 
  possibly 
  be 
  

   identified 
  with 
  Caluse. 
  Cieza's 
  rendition 
  of 
  native 
  names 
  is 
  rather 
  

   faulty. 
  If 
  this 
  identification 
  is 
  correct, 
  we 
  are 
  probably 
  confronted 
  

   with 
  a 
  group 
  belonging 
  to 
  the 
  Puben. 
  

  

  Guamza.— 
  This 
  place 
  name, 
  as 
  transmitted 
  by 
  Cieza 
  de 
  Le6n, 
  has 
  

   not 
  survived, 
  but 
  it 
  is 
  certain 
  that 
  these 
  Indians 
  belonged 
  to 
  the 
  

   Moguex-Coconuco 
  group. 
  "Guam" 
  or 
  "warn" 
  means 
  language 
  or 
  dia- 
  

   lect 
  amoung 
  the 
  Moguex. 
  

  

  Pedro 
  Cieza 
  de 
  Le6n 
  (1862) 
  and 
  Pascual 
  de 
  Andagoya 
  (1892) 
  were 
  

   the 
  first 
  chroniclers 
  of 
  this 
  area. 
  Cieza 
  says 
  that 
  in 
  the 
  16th 
  century 
  

   the 
  Guambia 
  {Moguex) 
  province, 
  which 
  was 
  once 
  densely 
  populated, 
  

   lay 
  east 
  of 
  Popayan, 
  and 
  that 
  another 
  province, 
  also 
  to 
  the 
  east, 
  is 
  

   called 
  Guamza} 
  Other 
  Indian 
  villages, 
  according 
  to 
  Cieza, 
  were 
  

   "Maluasa, 
  Polindara, 
  Palac6, 
  Tembio, 
  and 
  Colaza." 
  

  

  Many 
  well-populated 
  valleys 
  were 
  located 
  in 
  the 
  neighborhood 
  of 
  

   the 
  Sierra 
  Nevada. 
  The 
  Coconuco 
  lived 
  in 
  the 
  upper 
  Rio 
  Grande 
  (now 
  

   the 
  Cauca 
  River) 
  region. 
  Their 
  customs 
  seem 
  to 
  have 
  been 
  compar- 
  

   able 
  to 
  those 
  of 
  the 
  above-mentioned 
  Indians, 
  except 
  that 
  they 
  did 
  not 
  

   eat 
  human 
  flesh. 
  " 
  Zotara" 
  was 
  the 
  next 
  village. 
  Farther 
  south 
  was 
  

   the 
  province 
  of 
  the 
  Guanaco, 
  and 
  toward 
  the 
  east 
  the 
  province 
  of 
  the 
  

   Pdez. 
  This 
  description 
  is 
  inaccurate, 
  for 
  Guanacas 
  is 
  located 
  to 
  the 
  

   east 
  of 
  Malvasa 
  and 
  to 
  the 
  west 
  of 
  Paez, 
  between 
  the 
  paramo 
  of 
  Gua- 
  

   nacas 
  and 
  the 
  region 
  bordering 
  Inza. 
  

  

  Toward 
  the 
  east 
  was 
  the 
  province 
  of 
  "Guachicone," 
  also 
  densely 
  

   populated. 
  It 
  is 
  uncertain 
  whether 
  Cieza 
  includes 
  among 
  these 
  

   Indians 
  those 
  near 
  the 
  source 
  of 
  the 
  Guachicono 
  River, 
  in 
  the 
  Sotar£ 
  

   Mountains, 
  farther 
  down 
  in 
  the 
  valley, 
  near 
  the 
  Patia 
  River. 
  

  

  On 
  the 
  western 
  slopes 
  of 
  the 
  Cordillera 
  Occidental, 
  Cieza 
  mentions 
  

   a 
  village 
  called 
  Cochesquio, 
  located 
  toward 
  the 
  south, 
  a 
  small 
  lagoon, 
  

   a 
  village, 
  and 
  a 
  river 
  called 
  Las 
  Juntas. 
  Then 
  come 
  the 
  following, 
  

   farther 
  toward 
  the 
  south: 
  The 
  Rio 
  de 
  los 
  Capitanes, 
  the 
  great 
  prov- 
  

   ince 
  of 
  the 
  Mastel, 
  and 
  the 
  village 
  of 
  Patia. 
  Cochesquio 
  may 
  be 
  iden-
