Content DescriptionReturn to Top
Linguistic research of Native speakers in Tewa Village, First Mesa of the Hopi Reservation. Dewy and Juanita Healing served as experts and key consultants of the language. Contents of the recorded materials include: personal narratives (as opposed to traditional narratives), plaza announcements (e.g. chants that announce the naming of a new born child and other public proclamations), and curing songs. Ethnographic data regarding the situated use of these genres was also collected from a variety of consultants.
Historical BackgroundReturn to Top
The Tewa are a linguistic group of Pueblo Native Americans who speak the Tewa language and share the Pueblo culture. Their homelands are on or near the Rio Grande in New Mexico north of Santa Fe. The Hopi Tewa, descendants of those who fled the Second Pueblo Revolt of 1680–1692, live on the Hopi Reservation in Arizona, mostly in Tewa Village and Polacca on the First Mesa. Other Hopi clans are known to be descendants of Tewa people. Tewa is one of five Tanoan languages spoken by the Pueblo people of New Mexico. The six Tewa-speaking pueblos are Nambe, Pojoaque, San Ildefonso, Ohkay Owingeh, Santa Clara, and Tesuque.
The Hopi-Tewa (also Tano, Southern Tewa, Hano, Thano, or Arizona Tewa) are a Tewa Pueblo group that resides on the eastern part of the Hopi Reservation on or near First Mesa in northeastern Arizona. The Hopi-Tewa are related to the Tewa communities living in the Rio Grande Valley, such as Santa Clara Pueblo and Ohkay Owingeh. Many Hopi-Tewa are trilingual in Tewa, Hopi, and English. Some speakers also speak Spanish and/or Navajo. Hopi-Tewa is a variety of the Tewa language of Tanoan family and has been influenced by Hopi (which is an unrelated Uto-Aztecan language).
