The following is a critical re-evaluation of the results and data pertaining to the analysis of biological relationships presented in a 2012 monograph on Tewa origins titled Winds from the North: Tewa Origins and Historical Anthropology by Scott G. Ortman. The present critique focuses on the biological evidence that ancestral Tewa populations of the Northern Rio Grande region (NRG) are the direct lineal descendants of Mesa Verde region residents from southwestern Colorado who migrated to the NRG around AD 1275, and that these Mesa Verde migrants formed the vast majority of the post-AD 1275 Tewa population in the NRG. The results of the re-evaluation presented here do not support these assertions. Instead, the results suggests that the pre-AD 1275 populations from the Mesa Verde region probably contributed to the genetic ancestry of multiple post-AD 1275 populations from different presumed ancestral ethnolinguistic groups throughout the Southwest.

以下是对 2012 年关于 Tewa 起源的专着《来自北方的风：Tewa 起源和历史人类学》中提供的与生物关系分析有关的结果和数据的重要重新评估斯科特 G. 奥特曼。目前的批评集中在生物学证据上，即北里奥格兰德地区 (NRG) 的祖先 Tewa 人口是来自科罗拉多州西南部的 Mesa Verde 地区居民的直系后裔，他们在公元 1275 年左右迁移到 NRG，并且这些 Mesa Verde 移民形成NRG 中的绝大多数公元 1275 年后的 Tewa 人口。此处提供的重新评估结果不支持这些断言。相反，结果表明，来自 Mesa Verde 地区的公元 1275 年前的种群可能促成了整个西南地区不同假定的祖先民族语言群体的多个公元 1275 年后种群的遗传祖先。
