A- New Mexico Indian Villages, Towns and Settlements

                                <p>A complete listing of all the Indian villages,  towns and settlements as listed in Handbook of Americans North of Mexico.</p> <p>Abechiu (a Tewa onomatope representing the screech of an owl. <i>E. L. Hewett</i>).  A prehistoric Tewa pueblo at a place called La Puente, on a bluff close to the  south bank of Rio Chama, 3 miles South East of the present town of Abiquiu, Rio  Arriba County, New Mexico. <i>Bandelier in Arch. Inst. Papers, iv, 56. 58, 1892.</i></p> <p>Abiquiu (from <i>Abechui</i>, q. y. ). A pueblo founded by the Spaniards  prior to 1747 at the site of the prehistoric Tewa pueblo of Fejiu, on the Rio  Chama, Rio Arriba County, New Mexico. In Aug., 1747, it was raided by the Ute,  who killed a number of the inhabitants and compelled its abandonment. It was  resettled soon afterward, and in 1748 contained 20 families, but, owing to  further depredations by the Ute and Navaho, was again abandoned, and in 1754  reoccupied. In 1705 the settlement (the mission name of which was Santa Rosa,  later changed to Santo Tomas) contained 166 persons, and in the vicinity were  612 others. In 1779 the pueblo had 851 inhabitants, and at least as early as  1794 it was peopled in part by Genizaros, or Indian captives and fugitives,  chiefly Hopi, whom the Spaniards had rescued or purchased. In 1808 Abiquiu  contained 122 Indians and 1,816 whites and mestizos. The town was thoroughly  Mexicanized by 1854. <i>See Bancroft, Arizona and New Mexico, 280, 1889;  Bandelier in Arch. Inst. Papers, iv, .54, 1892. (F. W. H.) </i></p> <p>Abo (A-bo'), A former pueblo of the Tompiros division of the Piros, on the  Arroyo del Empedradillo, about 25 m. E. of the Rio Grande and 20 miles south of  Manzano, in Valencia County, New Mexico. Whether the pueblo was built on both  sides of the arroyo, or whether there were two pueblos" successively occupied,  has not been determined. It was first mentioned in 1598 by Juan de Onate; it  became the seat of the mission of San Gregorio, founded in 1629 by Fray  Francisco de Acevedo, who erected a large church and monastery, the walls of  which are still standing," and died there Aug. 1, 1644. Tenabo and Tabira were  the visitas of Abo mission. Considering the ruins now on both banks of the  arroyo as those of a single pueblo, the population during the early mission  period was probably 2,000. Owing to Apache depredations many of the inhabitants  fled to El Paso as early as 1671, and prior to the Pueblo insurrection of 1680  the village was entirely abandoned for the same cause. The Piros of Senecu del  Sur claim to be the last descendants of the Abo people. <i>See Vetancurt (1697),  Cr&oacute;nica, 325, repr. 1871; Bandelier in Arch.  Inst. Papers, iv, 270, 1892; Abert in Emory, Recon., 488, 1848. (F. W. H.)</i></p> <p>Acacafui. Mentioned by Juan de Onate<i> (Doc. In&eacute;d.,  xvi, 115, 1871)</i>, in connection with Puaray, apparently as a pueblo of the  Tigua of New Mexico in 1598. </p> <p>Acacagua. An unidentified pueblo of New Mexico in 1598.  Onate (1598) in <i>Doc. In&eacute;d., xvi, 103, 1871</i>.</p> <p>Acoli. Mentioned by O&ntilde;ate  ( Doc. Ined. , xvi, 114, 1871) as a pueblo of New Mexico in 1598. Probably  situated in the Salinas, in the vicinity of Abo, and in all probability a Tigua  or Piros village. </p> <p>Acomita. An Acoma summer village about 15 m. N. of the  pueblo of Acoma, near McCartys station on the Santa Fe Pacific railroad,  Valencia co., N. Mex. </p> <p>Aconchi. An Opata pueblo on the E. bank of Rio Sonora,  about lat. 29&ordm; 45'&nbsp; N. W. Mexico. It  was the seat of the Spanish mission of San Pedro, founded in 1639. Pop. 580 in  1678, 285 in 1730. <i>(Orozco y Berra, Geog., 344, 1864.)</i> </p> <p>Agawano (A-ga&prime;-wa-no}.  A prehistoric pueblo of the Narnbe, situated in the mountains about 7 in. E. of  the Rio Grande, on Rio Santa Cruz, lat. 36&ordm;,  New Mexico. Bandelier in Arch. Inst. Papers, IV, 84, 1892.</p> <p>Aggey. Mentioned by O&ntilde;ate <i>(Doc. Ined., xvi, 113, 1871)</i> as a pueblo of New Mexico in 1598. Doubtless  situated in the Salinas, in the vicinity of Abo, E. of the Rio Grande, and in  all probability occupied at that time by the Tigua or the Piros.</p> <p>Agua Nueva (Span. : new water ). A former pueblo,  doubtless of the <a href="https://accessgenealogy.com/native/piros-tribe.htm"> Piros</a>, on the Rio Grande between Socorro and Sevilleta, N. Mex. It was  apparently abandoned shortly before Gov. Otermin's second visit in 1681, during  the Pueblo revolt. <i>Davis, Span. Conq. N. Mex., 313, 1869.</i></p> <p>Aguas Calientes ( Span.: warm waters ) . A province  with 3 towns visited by Coronado in 1541; identified by J. H. Simpson with the  Jemez ruins at Jemez Hot Springs, near the head of Jemez r., Sandoval co., N.  Mex. </p> <p>Alameda (Span.: cotton wood grove). A ruined pueblo on  the E. side of the Rio Grande, about 10 m. above Albuquerque, Bernalillo co. ,  N. Mex. It was occupied by the Tigua until 1681, and was formerly on the bank of  the river, but is now a mile from it, owing to changes in the course of the  stream (<i>Bandelier in Arch. Inst. Rep., v, 88, 1884</i>). It was the seat of a  Spanish mission, with 300 inhabitants about 1660-68, and a church dedicated to  Santa Ana which was doubt less destroyed in the Pueblo revolt of 1 680-96 (<i>Vetancurt  (1697</i>), Teatro Mex., in, 311, 1871 ). The settlement was afterward  reestablished as a mission visita of Albuquerque. (F. W. H.) </p> <p>Alamillo. (Span. : little cotton wood ) . A former  pueblo of the Piros on the Rio Grande about 12 m, N. of Socorro, N. Mex., the  seat of a Franciscan mission, established early in the 17th century, which  contained a church dedicated to Santa Ana. The in habitants did not participate  in the Pueblo revolt of 1680, and most of them joined the Spaniards in their  flight to El Paso, Chihuahua. In the following year, however, on the return of  Gov. Otermin, the remaining inhabitants of the pueblo fled, whereupon the  village was destroyed by the Spaniards. The population in 1680 was 300. <i>See  Vetancurt (1697), Teatro Mex., in, 310, repr. 1871; Bandelier in Arch. Inst.  Papers, iv, 239, 1892. (F. W. H.)

A pueblo of New Mexico in 1598, doubtless  situated in the Salinas in the vicinity of Abo, and evidently occupied by the  Tigua or the Piros. <i>O&ntilde;ate (1598) in Doc. Ined., xvi, 114, 1871</i>. </p> <p>Allu. The Antelope clan of the Pecos tribe of New  Mexico. Hewett in Am. Anthrop., vi, 431, 1904.</p> <p>Amaxa. A pueblo of New Mexico in 1598, doubtless  situated in the Salinas in the vicinity of Abo, and evidently occupied by Tigua  or Piros. Onate (1598) in Doc. Ined., xvi, 114, 1871.</p> <p>Amo. A pueblo of the province of Atripuy in the region  of the lower part of the Rio Grande, N. Mex., in 1598. <i>Onate (1598) in Doc.  Ined. xvi, 115, 1871.</i></p> <p>Amushungkwa. A former pueblo of the Jemez on a mesa w.  of the Hot Springs, about 12 . m. N. of Jemez pueblo, N. Mex. It was abandoned  prior to the revolt of 1680. See Patoqua.</p> <p>Analco. A prehistoric pueblo of the <a href="https://accessgenealogy.com/native/tewa-tribe.htm"> Tewa</a> at the place where there is now the so-called "oldest house," adjacent  to San Miguel chapel, in Santa Fe, N. Mex. According to Bandelier this name was  first applied in the 18th century. Ritch (<i>N. Mex., 153, 196, 1885</i>)  asserts that the house referred to formed part of the old pueblo, and that two  of the old women then living therein claimed to be lineal descendants of the  original occupants (p. 113). Bandelier, however, in clines to the opinion (<i>Arch.  Inst. Papers, I, 19, 1881; iv, 89, 1892</i>) that the structure dates from  Spanish times, a belief substantiated by E. L. Hewett, in 1902, when the  building was partly dismantled and found to be of Spanish construction,  excepting about 18 inches of the foundation walls which were of Pueblo work. </p> <p>Anyukwinu. A ruined pueblo of the Jemez, situated x. of  the present Jemez pueblo, N. central N. Mex.</p> <p>Apena. A pueblo of New Mexico in 1598; doubtless  situated in the Salinas, in the vicinity of Abo, and occupied by the Tigua or  the Piros. <i>Onate (1598) in Doc. Ined., xvi, 114, 1871</i>.</p> <p>Aponitre. A pueblo of the province of Atripuy in the  region of the lower Rio Grande, N. Mex., in 1598. <i>Onate (1598) in Doc. Ined.,  xvi, 115, 1871.</i></p> <p>Aqui. A former Maricopa rancheria on the Rio Gila, s.  w. Ariz. <i>Sedelmair (1744) quoted by Bancroft, Ariz, and X. Mex., 366, 1889.</i></p> <p>Aquicabo. A pueblo of the province of Atripuy in the region of the lower Rio  Grande, N. Mex., in 1598. <i>Onate (1598) in Doc. Ined., xvi, 115, 1871.</i></p> <p>Aquinsa. Mentioned by Onate in 1598 as one of 6  villages occupied by the  <a href="https://accessgenealogy.com/native/zuni-tribe.htm">Zu&ntilde;i</a> in New Mexico.  In the opinion of Bandelier (<i>Arch. Inst, Papers, iv, 338, 1892</i>) it is  identical with Pinawan, a now ruined pueblo 1&frac12;  m. s. w. of Zu&ntilde;i pueblo. Gushing (<i>in  Millstone, ix, 55, 1884</i>) regarded Ketchina, 15 m. s. w. of Zu&ntilde;i,  as the probable Aquinsa of the Spaniards, and in 1888 (<i>Internal. Cong. Amer.,  vii, 156, 1890</i>) the same authority gave Kwakina in connection with Pinawan  as the pueblo to which O&ntilde;ate referred.</p> <p>Atepua. A pueblo of the province of Atripuy, in the  region of the lower Rio Grande, N. Mex., in 1598.</p> <p>Atripuy. Mentioned by Onate (<i>Doc. Ined., xvi,  114-116, 1871</i>) in 1598 as a province containing 42 pueblos in the region of  the lower Rio Grande, N. Mex. The name was probably derived from that of a  village of the N. branch of the Jumano. The first pueblo of this province,  journeying northward, was Trenaquel; the second Qualacu, both of which Bandelier  identifies as villages of the Piros who occupied the Rio Grande valley from  below Isleta to San Marcial, N. Mex. It may therefore be inferred that Atripuy  was the name applied to the country inhabited at that time by the <a href="https://accessgenealogy.com/native/piros-tribe.htm"> Piros</a>. (F. W. H.)</p> <p>Atuyama.
