F. Moqui. — The Moqui Indians, or, as they call themselves, Shinumo, 

 inhabit six pueblos or villages located on the top of four high, steep mesas 

 in Arizona, north of the Colorado Chiquito. They selected these bluffs to 

 be their natural bulwarks against the raiding Apaches, Navajos — perhaps, 

 also the Comanches — and they cultivate the few patches of agricultural 

 land situated below the precipitous cliffs. The Moqui language is certainly 

 Numa, but seems to contain many archaic words and forms not encountered 

 in the other dialects, and many vocables of its own. One of the Moqui 

 towns, the seventh in order, called Hano or Hanoki, speaks Tehua ; the 

 inhabitants came from the Rio Grande. Moqui is an opprobrious nickname 

 taken from their own language, originally referring to one of the towns 

 only (moki: dead, stinking). Shinumo, h6pi Shinumo, She-noma, or "towns- 

 people" is the name they give to themselves, answering somewhat to the 

 Iroquois term 6nkwe h6nwe, " real men, true men". In Pacific Railroad 

 Reports, Vol. Ill, part 2, page 13, the Moqui and Zuni names of the seven 

 towns are given. Population, according to Report of 1 874, 1,409; of 1877, 

 1,339. 



G. Kauvuta. — The various Kauvuya tribes of California are settled in

 and no less among themselves, as far as the coast tribes or "Playanos" 

 are concerned. The term Kauvuya is the orthography adopted by Oscar
