Kuaua was a Tiwa village in the central Rio Grande valley when Francisco Vasquez de Coronado entered the area in 1540. It was established around AD 1325 and grew to a population of 1,200 people by the 16th century. Today, the descendants live in the Tiwa-speaking villages of Taos, Picuris, Sandia, and Isleta.
