Pueblo
of Tesuque
The
name Tesuque is a Spanish variation of the Tewa name Tetsugeh,
meaning "narrow place of cottonwood trees." The
small
Tewaspeaking
pueblo of Tesuque was established before 1200, and was first visited
by Europeans in 1591. It is one of the most
traditional
of the Tewa speaking pueblos and played an important role in the
1680 Pueblo Revolt, which drove the Spanish from
New
Mexico.
