Abstract
The cosmology of the Tewa people is based on place. Places are defined through the Tewa names given to the various parts of the cosmos and include the places or regions sacred to the Tewa. These places and the associated living beings including animals, plants, and humans are highly valued within the Tewa world duality where everything in the cosmos has a spiritual component.
