(Sp. model spelled same [naßáxo], either < Spanish nava 'plain surrounded by mountains' of pre-Roman origin or < Tewa naba 'cultivated field' via Spanish)The largest American Indian group in the United States. They inhabit regions of Arizona, New Mexico, and southeastern Utah. Their language is from the Athapascan group, and their economy is based primarily on agriculture and raising sheep. They are also known for their artwork, including silversmithing, sand painting, and blanket weaving.Alternate form: Navaho. -

10 Mexican
1) New York: 1912. Of inferior quality, shoddy or shabby; makeshift or stopgap; also illegal. The DARE notes that this meaning is derogatory, used chiefly in the West and Southwest.2) DARE: 1968. Regarding clock time or scheduled events, belated, tardy, or unreliable. Compare Navajo—Navajo time.3) DARE (from Texas to California): 1854. Spicy (said of foods).4) Southwestern California: 1962. As the DARE notes, in several combinations, such as Mexican toothache, Mexican disease, and Mexican sickness, it refers to diarrhea.5) A Mexican peso. Also known as adobe dollar, 'dobe dollar.6) The typical bean used in Mexican dishes: pinto or kidney bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris). The adjective Mexican is also used in various combinations, most of which denote plants and animals native to the border states and northern Mexico. Other adjectival constructions refer to aspects of southwestern culture, often reflecting the cowboy's sarcasm. Those that are especially pertinent to his era and profession are listed below. -
11 Apache
(Sp. model spelled same [apátfe] from the Zuni ápachu 'enemy' via Mexican Spanish)Clark: 1740s. The Zuni term for 'enemy' originally referred to the Navajo. After it was incorporated into Spanish, its reference broadened to include a number of southwestern or Mexican Indian tribes who spoke varieties of the Athapaskan language. The Apaches are especially famous for their bellicose behavior and are inextricably linked in the popular mind with the cowboy. Spanish sources concur with the principal meanings cited here. -
12 bayeta blankets
Blankets made by the Navajo out of bayeta cloth. These were popular among settlers and traders in regions of the Southwest, according to Clark. Some cowboys probably incorporated these blankets in their camas or bedrolls. -
13 chimayo
Glossed by Carlisle as a kind of Indian blanket made of colorful cotton-warp, machine-twisted yarn finely woven into intricate patterns. They are not as valuable as Navajo blankets. Cobos refers to Chimayó as a New Mexico place name and chimayó as a type of Indian blanket. -
14 conchas
Ornaments, usually made of silver, used to decorate saddles and other pieces of riding gear, including the chaps, saddleskirt, spurs, etc. Concha is Spanish for 'shell.' Cobos notes that in New Mexico and Southern Colorado Spanish, a concha may be a disc made of nickel or leather that serves as a washer for saddle strings, or a shell-shaped disc made of silver or copper used on Navajo Indian belts. With the exception of Cobos, Spanish sources do not reference the term as a silver decoration; it is evident that the southwestern definition is an extension of the meaning of 'shell' and refers to the shape of the decorations.Alternate forms: chonchos, conchos. -
15 corona
(carona [karóna], evolved along with the ancient locative adverb a la carona 'in direct contact with the skin of an animal or person' from an earlier, probably pre-Roman, term, * carón or a similar form)Southwest (west Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona): 1892. A saddle pad placed between the saddle and the animal's back. Watts notes that it was often form-fitted to the saddle and left open on top to allow ventilation. The DARE indicates that it was sometimes highly decorated and may have been made of "pigskin, embroidered broadcloth, brightly-colored Navajo blankets, woven horsehair," or other materials. Southwestern sources, including Watts, Adams, Blevins, Smith, Carlisle, and the DARE say that this term derives from Spanish corona, meaning 'crown.' This is inaccurate. Actually, the term derives from carona, a Spanish term that the DRAE defines as a piece of thick, padded fabric that fits between the saddle blanket and the (pack)saddle and serves as a protection for the horse. It may also refer to the interior part of a packsaddle or, according to both the DRAE and Islas, the part of the horse's back on which the carona sits. Islas glosses it as a thick saddle blanket or sudadero that fits between the saddle and the horse's back. It may also refer to a piece of canvas under a saddle or saddle blanket. Cobos indicates that a "saddle blanket used on donkeys and mules" is known as a carola in New Mexico and southern Colorado. He suggests that the term derives from Spanish escarola 'ruffled collar,' but it is more likely a variant form of carona.Alternate form: caronie. -
