tokuu) was hanging on the north wall, a skin of a Kwayo and a skin 

 of the Hawk (Kisha) on the east wall. Here the mdna stayed for 

 some time grinding the corn meal and preparing food for these great 

 warriors. After some time she was told that they would now take her 

 home again. So the Hawk again took her on his back and swiftly 

 descended to the earth, where he deposited her near the village of 

 Oraibi, from where she went home. Complying with instructions 

 that she had received from the war chiefs before, she told her parents 

 that she had died, that these chiefs from above had rescued her and 

 that they had told her she should soon come back again, at least for 

 a visit, and that she would soon go back again; but whenever she 

 would die they should not wrap her up and tie her body. She stayed 

 in her home for a while and all at once had disappeared, but in four 

 days returned, saying that she had visited those war chiefs above. 

 After a while she went again and stayed six days. This she repeated 

 a third time, staying ten days the third time. Her mother, now get- 

 ting used to it, did not worry much about it, but after a while she 

 failed to awake one morning and they found that she had fallen 

 asleep never to awake again. They treated her body the same as 

 bodies of eagles are treated when they are buried. They tied 

 nakwakwosis to her hands and legs, laid a great many nakwak- 

 wosis on her breast and folded her garments over her and thus 

 buried her without wrapping her up or tying her body. She was 

 this time buried on the west side of the village. Her brother 

 watched the grave for four days, but this time it was not disturbed. 

 Important events had in the meanwhile occurred in the house of 

 the sorcerers where the latter had been destroyed. C6tukvnangwuu 

 had descended, entered the kiva, and restored his victims, but as a 

 punishment he had not given back to the different individuals the 

 parts and members that had been torn from their bodies, but had 

 thoroughly mixed up the different parts of the different bodies. 

 Before he left he told them: "You are bad, and this shall be your 

 punishment. You shall be ridiculed by the people. " Thereupon he 

 left them. In the morning when it began to become light the poor 

 people observed in great consternation what had happened to them. 

 Here an old man found that he had one of his own legs while the 

 other leg was that of some woman; one arm was of the natural size 

 while the other one was that of a little child; here the head of a 

 woman had been healed to the body of a man, and so on. They were 

 very much discouraged, and the old man suggested at once that they 

 had better not be among the living very long, and he said that when 

 they should come back to the kiva he was going to drop himself from
