Description
In general, an Indian regards his name as a personal possession, and does not willingly reveal it to strangers. Tact and experience usually overcome this reluctance, but in a brief visit at Isleta there seemed to be an understanding that no individual should admit the possession of a Tiwa name. Only Spanish names were recorded.
