Kuaua was the northernmost of the twelve villages. Its name means evergreen in Tiwa. It was first settled around AD 1325 and was occupied by approximately 1,200 people when Coronado arrived. Conflict with Coronado and later Spanish explorers led to the abandonment of this site within a century of first contact. Today, the descendants of the people of Kuaua live in the surviving Tiwa-speaking villages of Taos, Picuris, Sandia, and Isleta. • • ABOUT THIS LECTURE • Agricultural Ingenuity Expertise among the Jemez People - recorded July 23 2020 • The Jemez Mountains with its forested slopes, narrow valleys, and rocky crags appears at first glance unsuitable for cultivation. Yet, some of the earliest evidence of maize (corn) in the New Mexico is found there and a Spanish account from 1583 estimates that this rugged terrain may have produced an agricultural yield large enough to support a population of as many as 30,000 people. All Pueblo Peoples were masterful farmers, but the agricultural practices of the Jemez People are nothing short of extraordinary. This presentation will examine agriculture in the Jemez Mountains from its beginnings in the Archaic Period to its collapse in the eighteenth century. • • ABOUT THE SPEAKER • Matthew J.
