Native American Tribes series.Jemez
Prounounced "Hay-mess," or traditionally as "He-mish", the Jemez are a federally recognized American Indian tribe with 3,400 tribal members, most of whom reside in the pueblo village known as Walatowa, a Towa word meaning "this is the place". Oral traditions say their ancestors originated from a place called "Hua-na-tota," which is apparently identical with the Shipapu and Cibobe of other Pueblo tribes. They migrated to the "Canon de San Diego Region" from the four-corners area in the late 13th century. By the time of European contact in the year 1541, the Jemez Nation was one of the largest and most powerful of the Puebloan cultures, occupying numerous pueblo villages that were strategically located on the high mountain mesas and the canyons that surround the present Pueblo of Walatowa. Today, it is the last remaining Towa-speaking pueblo, having absorbed the Towa-speaking survivors of Pecos Pueblo when it was abandoned in the 1830's. The pueblo itself is closed to the public except during feast days. However, Walatowa, the main village, is open to the public. It is located on the north bank of Jemez River, about 20 miles northwest of Bernalillo, New Mexico.
11/23/2018 By mblatch #41948 Found while passing through the area on my way out to Fort Morgan. Parked in a convenient spot nearby and made the short walk over to the cache. Found it easily after a short search. Signed in and headed off down the road. TFTC
