While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is
here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate
for this time of the year. Along with gardening, there's grilling, and getting
ready to diet so that you can fit back into that bathing suit this summer!
I- New Mexico Indian Villages, Towns and
Settlements
A complete listing of all the Indian
villages, towns and settlements as listed in Handbook of Americans North of
Mexico.
Ihamba (I’ha-mba).
An ancient pueblo of the Tewa on the s. side of Pojoaque r., between Pojoaque
and San Ildefonso pueblos, N. New Mex. Bandelier in Arch. Inst. Papers, iv,
85, 1892.
IshtuaYene (Keresan: ishtoa, 'arrow'). A place
above Santo Domingo, N. Mex., whence fled the Cochiti inhabitants of Kuapa when
pursued in prehistoric times by the mythical Pinini (q. v. ), or pygmies,
according to San Felipe tradition. The place is so called on account of numerous
arrowpoints found there. Bandelier in Arch. Inst. Papers, iv, 166, 1892.
Iza. A settlement of which Coronado was informed by the
Indian known as The Turk, while on the Rio Grande in New Mexico in 1540-41, as a
place, 6 or 7 days journey distant, at which the army could obtain provisions on
its way to "Copala" and Quivira. It was possibly imaginary; if not, it may have
been a settlement of the Eyish, a Caddoan tribe of Texas. (F. W. H.)
