TRES PIEDRAS [8:12]

This town, which lies west of the Rio Grande and northwest of Taos, is called in Taos and Tewa ' mountain-sheep rocks ' : Taos Kuwahiima (kuwa, mountain-sheep; hiuna, stone, rock); Tewa Kuwak'u (kuwa, mountain-sheep; k'u, stone, rock).

TRUCHAS CREEK [9:9]

Truchas creek, eastern tributary of the Rio Grande, is called in Tewa: 'Om3e n ?7ge'i n r7hu'u (obscure: 'i n ?7, gender postfix; hu'u,

arroyo).

TRUCHAS PEAK [22:13]

Truchas peak of the Santa Fe range is the Tewa K'use n mp'i n ?7, rock horn mountain (k'u, stone; se n ?7, horn; p'i n ??, mountain). It is curious that Bandelier, knowing nothing of the Tewa name of Truchas peak or its meaning, writes: "The summit of the Truchas is divided into sharp-pointed peaks, recalling the 'Horner Stocke' or 'Dents' of the Alps." 1

TSANKAWI [16:114]

Tewa Sse n k'ewi'i, sharp cactus gap (sae n, opuntia, leaf-cactus; k'e, sharp; wi'i, gap) is the name of the pueblo ruin and the gap where it stands. Sse n k'ewi'i is in the Pajarito Plateau.

TSAWARI [15:24]

Tewa Ts'se n wari, white wide gap (ts'ae n, white; wori, wide gap) is a place in the Canada de Santa Cruz four miles above its mouth. A broad stratum or belt of soft whitish rock crosses the Canada there. On the mesa on the south side of the Canada lies the pueblo ruin, and the Mexican hamlet of Puebla adjoins the ruin on the west. This ruin was a village of the Tano Indians. It was built by them after they left their ancient home in the Galisteo region, and was abandoned in 1696 when they migrated to the Hopi country. The Tewa have heard that the people of Ts'se n wari fled to the Hopi to escape from the tyranny of the Mexi- cans and to help the Hopi fight the Navajo and the Mexicans.
