Moghwachi

The Moghwachi, or Muache, were a Southern Ute people whose country extended along the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains into northern New Mexico. They traded with Pueblo communities, especially Taos, and were known to some as the Taos Utes. Horses brought new possibilities for travel and hunting. The Muache and their Jicarilla Apache allies ranged southeast towards the plains, carrying relationships between mountain homelands and more distant grasslands.
