Pl. IX. The Natsi Outside of the Kiva. 

 This ndtsi, or society emblem, is made during the fourth day, and placed out- 

 side of the kiva, at the south end of the hatchway, early in the morning of the fifth 

 day. It consists of a clay pedestal, into which is inserted a yellow ear of corn, 

 two eagle tail feathers, and a little twig of an herb. South of the kiva is shown 

 some brush which is used as fuel in the kiva.
