A second celebration of the Wa-ivdc-kd-lci-nd took \)\'dce 

 on the eve of the IIu-7ins-kd-lci-nd, four days after, at the 

 vilhige of Si-tcum-o-vP . This celebration closely i-esem-

 The T'd-tcuk-ti and Kd-tci-nds dressed themselves in the re-

 and around which certain ceremonials are performed by novices and others on 

 certain occasions. Their form varies somewhat but they are ordinarily simple 

 square or rectangular cairns of stone, often uncovered., in which often a curious 

 waterworn botryoidal stone is placed. Simple heaps of stones dedicated to iV/«'. 

 sau wuh may often be termed bdho ki, and small cavities in boulders have the same 

 designation. The bdho ki in which certain offerings, as those of the "Farewell 

 Kd tci nd", are placed is a covered chamber and the flat slab over it may be luted 

 in place after use with adobe. 



20n the afternoon before the race the plaza was carefully swept in preparation. 

 The celebration took place at a little before sundown before a large assemblage of 

 si)ectators. Many of the racers, possibly all, were from the neighboring village of 

 Wal-pi.
