Stran 459 - The tribe, beginning to grow in numbers, built the villages now in ruins and also spread to the north bank of the river. But there appeared a monstrous eagle, which, occasionally assuming the shape of an old woman, visited the pueblos and stole women and children, carrying them to his abode in an inaccessible cliff. On one occasion the eagle seized a girl with the intention of making of her his wife. Ci-ho thereupon went to the cliff, but found it impossible to climb. The girl, who was still alive,...
Stran 192 - Katishtya on the mesa; but the same cannot be said of the siege, which the pueblo is reported to have withstood afterwards. The Cochiti Indians followed the Franciscan, whom they intended to murder, for a short distance, but withdrew as soon as they saw that he was beyond their reach. Then they abandoned their pueblo, and retired to the mountains, not to the Potrero Viejo, but to the more distant gorges and crests of the Valles range.
Stran 459 - Grande, who hag been to me personally an excellent friend and valuable informant, told me this tale: " ' The Gila Pimas claim to have been created on the banks of the river. After residing there for some time a great flood came that destroyed the tribe, with the exception of one man, called Ci-ho.
Stran 152 - pueblo ruin where the mountain lions lie', referring to [28:27] (kd'-matsgfoma 'pueblo ruin' <Jk<ifmatx% 'settlement', forna 'old'). Cf. Tewa (1), Jemez (2), Eng. (4), Span. (5). A very interesting find was made at this pueblo in 1885, by Governor L. Bradford Prince of New Mexico, who obtained a number of stone idols, rudely carved human figures, some of them of large size, belonging to the kind called by the Queres Yap-a-shi.1 The name of Pueblo of the Yap-a-shi has accordingly been applied to the...
Stran 296 - It also shows one angle, which ' is substantially, but not exactly, a right angle ; and it was so adjusted that the long edge was on the doorway, and short one in the wall of a chamber or apartment, with the right angle at the corner between them. This stone was evidently prepared by fracture, probably with a stone maul, and the regularity of the breakage was doubtless partly due to skill and partly to accident. It shows no marks of the chisel or the drove, or of having been rubbed, and where the...
Stran 255 - Eg el primer pueblo del valle de las Salinas [29:110]'.] The inhabitants of Chilili say that metates and arrowheads are still occasionally found. I noticed some black and red potsherds, and later I saw a handsomely decorated water urn, well preserved and ornamented with symbols of the rain, the tadpole, and of fish, painted black on cream-colored ground, which had been exhumed at Chilili. It is in possession of the Hon. RE Twitchell of Santa Fe.
Stran 459 - Pimas claim to have been created on the banks of the river. After residing there for some time a great flood came that destroyed the tribe, with the exception of one man, called Ci-ho. He was of small stature, and became the ancestor of the present Pimas. The tribe, beginning to grow in numbers, built the villages now in ruins and also spread to the north bank of the river. But there appeared a monstrous eagle, which, occasionally assuming the shape of an old woman, visited the pueblos and stole...
Stran 157 - Bandolier says of it: Cave dwellings have been excavated in the rear wall of the cave, and 15 meters (48 feet) above the floor are indentations showing that chambers had also been burrowed out at this height. The steps therefore may have been made in order to reach this upper tier of rooms; for it appeared to me that the paintings were more recent than the cave village, as they are partially painted over walls of former artificial cells, the coating of which had fallen off before the pictographs...
Stran 214 - VALLEY 205 mesas he discovered a third pueblo, recently built there by the people of Santo Domingo, who had joined the Jemez tribe upon the approach of the Spaniards. That village is said to have been situated three leagues farther north...
Stran 150 - Puncomts columbinus (called Pifionero in Spanish and Sho-hak-ka in Queres), a handsome bird, which ruthlessly plunders the nut-bearing pines, uttering discordant shrieks and piercing cries. The forest of the Potrero de las Vacas is therefore not so silent and solemn as other wooded areas in that region, where a solitary raven or crow appears to be the only living creature. To the right of the trail yawns the deep chasm of the Canada Honda [28:21], from which every word spoken on the brink re-echoes...
