bring his soldiers to a place west of Walpi where there was a large 

 pool of water at that time. He said that they were tired and would 

 rest there awhile. He also explained that they had brought with 

 them a good deal of clothing which they had wanted to give to the 

 people which they had expected to take along. "Now," he said, 

 ' ' What shall we do with these clothes ? You tell your people that 

 they should come to-morrow when we are camping there at that 

 water and visit us, and if any of them have anything that they would 

 like to sell we would like to trade with them, giving them clothing 

 which we have brought along, and taking back some of your things. " 



The Shupaulavi chief consented to this and went home and told 

 his people about it. All were very happy now that the impending 

 danger had been averted. The next morning after they had eaten 

 their breakfast the people from all the villages proceeded to the camp 

 of the Spaniards where they were trading all day. In the evening 

 the Hopi all returned to their villages, the Spaniards camping there 

 for the night. In the morning after breakfast the latter returned. 



After that the Spaniards never encroached on the Hopi any more, 

 but the Shongdpavi chief, whose village at that time was very small, 

 spread the news that the Spaniards would come back again some 

 time to Shupaulavi and get them. This so scared the people at Shu- 

 paulavi that a majority of them left the village and moved over to 

 Shong6pavi, which it is said accounts partly for the small number 

 of inhabitants in the village of Shupaulavi.

Haliksai! This place, Ka6tukvi, is somewhere east of the 

 Pueblo Indians, and a long time ago many people lived there. West 

 of them was a large mountain like the San Francisco Mountains (near 

 Flagstaff). In these mountains lived many Katcinas. Those peo- 

 ple sometimes had ceremonies (hihta totdka y6ngwa), but they did 

 not yet know the Katcinas. 



One time some of the Katcinas also assembled in their kiva in 

 the mountains, and dressed up, getting ready for a dance. They 

 then descended and came to the village in the night, where they 

 commenced to dance on the plaza. The people were still sleeping, 

 but soon heard the noise of the dance and arose and came to the 

 plaza. Here they saw the Katcinas dance. The latter, however, 

 did not accompany their dance by singing. 



By the side of the line of dancers danced a Katcina Uncle (Katcina
