The Queres Indians live all along the Rio Grande in pueblos, since there is no need of their living now in the cliffs. You can read about them at Ty-uonyi in "The Delight-Makers." A kiva is the underground chamber of the house, or if not underground, at least without doors, entered from the top by means of a ladder.
"Tse-tse looked right and left to see who listened. 'Kokomo is a strong man in Ty-uonyi, he said; 'it was he who made the treaty with the Dine. And Pitahaya is blind. "'Aye, said the turkey girl; 'when you are a Delight-Maker you can make a fine jest of it. "She had been brought up a foundling in the house of the old chief and was fond of him.
"True enough, at the next festival the Koshare set the whole of Ty-uonyi shouting with a sort of play that showed Tse-tse scared by rabbits in the brush, and thinking the Dine were after them. Tse-tse was furious and the turkey girl was so angry on his account that she scolded him, which is the way with women.
'Wait, he said; 'one Dine has not two blankets. We could see them lying in a little heap not far from the camp. Presently in the dusk another man came up the canon from the direction of the river and joined him. "We cast back and forth between Dripping Spring and the mouth of the Ty-uonyi most of the night, but no more Dine showed themselves.
"Softly," said Moke-icha. "Though I slept in the kivas and am called Kabeyde, Chief of the Four-Footed, I did not know all the tales of the Queres. They were a very ancient people. On the Salt Trail, where it passed by Split Rock, the trail was bitten deep into the granite. I think they could not have been more than three or four hundred years in Ty-uonyi when I knew them.
You will find Tiguex on the map, somewhere between the Ty-uonyi and the place where the Corn Woman crossed the Rio Grande. Cicuye is on the map as Pecos, in Texas. The Pawnees at this time occupied the country around the Platte River.
