Dec, 1903. The OrAibi OAqol Ceremony — Voth. 25 



Masdtoiniwa had a gourd rattle and baho in 1897; a mosilili and 

 honey pot in 1901. 



Homikini had a mosilili in 1897; a gourd rattle in 1901. 



Yeshiwa had a tobacco pouch and pipes in 1897; a meal tray in 

 1 90 1, etc. 



When everything (as far as I could see) that is not attached to 

 the altar frame is distributed, Ngdsi, taking the tiponi, takes a posi- 

 tion in the south-east corner of the deeper portion of the klva; a girl 

 with the Oaqol-mana figurine stands behind her; another girl with the 

 new ndtsi to her left. The sprinkler stands northeast of the fireplace. 

 All stand in the deeper portion of the kiva between the altar and fire- 

 place, facing to the south-east of the kiva, which, from the position of 

 the kiva, would be to the place where the sun rises. A long song is 

 then sung, during which all wave the objects which they hold, consist- 

 ing of altar accessories, bells, rattles, corn-ears, etc., towards the 

 direction mentioned. The sprinkler whistles into the medicine bowl 

 and asperges with the aspergil six times, I believe. I have been 

 unable to settle the question whether several songs are chanted or 

 only one, repeated several times. Masdtoiniwa claims the latter to be 

 the case, but he is old, his knowledge of the Odqol songs is sadly lack- 

 ing, and it is difficult to get any systematic information from him. 

 He dictated me the following song as the one being used. It has, like 

 many other Hopi songs, two parts: 



I. Downwards. 



Maahaaamahaaayahaiahai I 

 Maahaaamahaaayahaiahai ! 

 Conway qoyangwunkuiwahai. 

 Conway sikangwunkuiwahai. 

 Mahaahahahaiahai. 

 Mahaahahahaiahaha ! 

 (The above prelude is repeated.) 



II. Upwards. 



Yupavo taalaokuiwaa! 

 Yupavo taaladokuiwaa! 

 Tuvevolimanatu. 

 Qoyavolimanatu, Hao! 

 Shoshoko hihtaa yawoma hao 

 Tuvevolimanatu. 

 ^ Qoyavolimanatu Hao, hao!
