^4. THE RED EAGLE SONG.» 



Haliksai! A long time ago, when people lived in all the seven Hopi 

 villages, and also at Sikydtki, Red Eagle and his wife lived on the 

 bluff running westward, north of Sikyatki. He had four children. 

 He lived on a small steep bluff called Kw^katpe. One time, early in 

 the morning, they had a dance and sang the following song: 



Pu turzh huvam, umuh totim! 

 Now then come here, your youths! 

 Kuywaman ayalalwaahahay. 

 (To) behold send them! 

 Ura conwayningwu 

 Why pretty 



Kwakatpe palakwayo titooya 

 At Kwakatpe (the) Red Eagle hatches children. 

 Ura vungve tutunglainingwu. 

 Why when grown up (they) are, ask for them. 

 Haooo talti ! talti ! 

 Ah, it has dawned! It has dawned! 

 Haooo, talti! talti! 

 Ah, it has dawned! It has dawned! 



Kwa — ! (Here they all flew upward a little way and 

 alighted again). 



One of the men from Sikyatki heard them singing and saw them 

 dance and told his people about it. They soon afterwards went and 

 captured the small Eagles, and forever afterwards they used to get 

 young eagles there, the feathers of which they used for their prayer- 

 offerings, masks, etc.

Over yonder at Owl Gulch (Mongwupcovo) lived a large Owl with 

 her children, and north of there at a bluff lived a Red Eagle (Pald- 

 kwyaho), who also had children. The two were great friends. The 

 Eagle always hunted during the day. He often told his friend to go 

 with him on a hunt, but as his friend, the Owl, could not go during 

 the day, they never hunted together. One time the Eagle visited his 

 friend and found the latter sound asleep during the day. He sat 

 down and waited. Finally he scratched the Owl a little with his
