Pl. IV. Two Prominent Oraibis. 



No. I. L61oloma, the Kikmongwi or Village Chief. 



Lololoma has for many years been a very prominent figure in the village of 

 Ordibi, not only on account of his position, but on account of his friendly atti- 

 tude towards the government and its efforts to civilize and educate the Indians, 

 which led to a serious rupture between the inhabitants of Ordibi. Lololoma re- 

 mained at the head of the liberal faction, while the conservative faction elected 

 its own chief, and contentions have existed between these two factions now for about 

 twelve years. This rupture has also done very much towards modifying, under- 

 mining, and even partly destroying some of the Ordibi ceremonies. Lololoma was 

 at one time, years ago, imprisoned by the hostile faction in one of the kivas, and 

 he believes to this day that he would have been left in that kiva to starve if the 

 representatives of the government had not rescued him. The plate shows the 

 chief as he returns from his field in the valley. 



No. 2. Lom.inkwa, the crier who has for a number of years announced pub- 

 licly the ceremonies controlled by the liberal faction of Ordibi, those of the con- 

 servative faction being announced by their own crier. This man perished about 

 a month ago in a ditch which he was digging, trying to find some moles that were 

 destroying his peach-trees. The ditch caved in on the man and his body was not 

 found until the next morning.
