Taha). The people, not knowing what or who the dancers were, be- 

 came angry and concluded among themselves that they wanted to 

 kill them. The Katcinas heard what the people said about wanting 

 to kill them and ran away. West of the village they jumped from 

 a bluff into a large crack. These were the Snow (Nuva) Katcinas, 

 the Uncle being a Hot6to Katcina. The Katcina Uncle was in the 

 lead when they jumped in the crack. Here the people who had fol- 

 lowed them set fire to them and burned them up. The Katcina 

 Uncle who was at the bottom was not burned. Early in the morn- 

 ing he crept out and returned home to the mountains, singing the 

 following song as he walked along: 



Tanayo, tanayo, 



Kayohatii ! kayahatii !

Kayohatii! kayahatii!

 Hehea Katcinas in their dances. It was early in the morning. All 

 at once he heard somebody singing, raised his wika and listened, but 

 just then the singing stopped. The Katcina again commenced to 

 hoe, and again heard the singing. Listening again he heard the sing- 

 ing and the sobbing and behold ! somebody was walking along crying. 



When the Hot6to arrived at the Heh^a Katcina the latter asked : 

 ' ' Why are you walking along saying something and crying ? " " Yes, 

 the Hot6to replied, "We were there in the Hopi village dancing, then 

 they came out and threatened to kill us, so we ran away and jumped
