child running around. He looks, and lets maiden remain, but says she is to 

 stay there for day after they leave. It is dark, and Spider Woman, assisted 

 by Flute Priest, makes drawing on Avhite cloth. They sing songs over it, and 

 Spider Woman takes disk towards east. Soon moon rises, but it is not very 

 light. They then draw sun symbol on circular piece of buckskin and sing over 

 it. Spider Woman takes it away, and something rises again, and it becomes 

 light and very warm. They have rubbed yx)lks of eggs over sun symbol, and 

 this is why chickens know all about time. Chiefs make different kinds of 

 plants and other things. Hopi language is spoken, but chief asks Mocking- 

 bird to give to different people different language. Mocking-bird does so. 

 They sit down to common meal, and chief lays out many corn ears of different 

 lengths and tells people to choose of them before they start. Every one wants 

 longest ears. Small ears are left for Hopi, who only have com. Chief agrees 

 that elder brother shall go with party ahead towards sunrise. He is to touch 

 sun with forehead and remain where sun rises. An old woman goes with 

 each party. Each party takes stone having marks and figures and that fit 

 together. If Hopi live again way they did in lower world, elder brother 

 to come back and cut off heads of Powakas. Elder brother and party start 

 and become White Men. Chief and party take southern route. Maiden 

 Powaka follows them. People travel eastward in different parties with chief. 

 They stop at certain places, and this is why there are so many ruins. Pueblo 

 passed through while Hopi live. Spider Woman makes horses and burros for 

 White Men and they go along much faster. Parties stay where there are good 

 fields or springs for one or more years. They plant crops and create springs 

 by burying bauypi containing certain herbs, bdhos, etc. They can create rain. 

 Contentions arise among parties, and they war on each other. So they build vil- 

 lages on bluffs and mesas. Bear and other clans, whose names are taken from 

 dead bear, arrive at Mtienkapi. Another Bear Clan arrives at Shong6pavi, 

 which is first village started. Skeleton is living where Oraibi now is. Bear 

 and two other clans move towards Oraibi. Spider Clan make marks on bluff 

 east of Mtienkapi, claiming water for Hopi. Snake Clan arrives and after- 

 wards Burrowing Owl clan, and they write something on bluff. Skeleton 

 comes to meet Bear clan, who want him to be chief. Skeleton refuses, but 

 gives them land, and Bear clan builds houses east of Oraibi bluff where now are 

 ruins. Bear clan brings Aototo and Soyal Katcinas. Different clans arrive, 

 and fields are allotted to them. Bow clan one of first to arrive, and leader 

 arranges Katcina dance. On last day of dance it rains fearfully. Village chief 

 tells them they shall have their ceremony Wdwnchim, first. Other clans bring 

 other cults, and villages are built up slowly. Everything is good yet. When 

 Katcinas dance it rains. They are simple and good Katcinas brought by Hopi 

 from under-world. But Powaka maiden has taught others her evil arts, and 

 P6pwaktu have increased at Paldtkwapi, which is destroyed by great water 

 produced by Bd,l6l6okongs. Some of its people are saved and reach Wdlpi 

 and other villages, where they teach evil arts. They put sickness into people, 

 and make enemies of Utes, Apache, and Navaho, who used to be friends of 

 Hopi. White Men are called by P6pwaktu and worry Hopi. But Hopi are 

 still looking towards elder brother who arrived at sunrise first, and he is watch- 

 ing how they are getting along.
