6l4 FEWKES 



An analysis of other Katcinas shows that many of them are 

 ancients of clans, or that each clan originally had distinctive 

 divinized ancients in the Katcina cult. These gods are per- 

 sonated as brothers, sisters, uncle, mother, or grandmother, the 

 paraphernalia being determined by the particular clan totem. 



The relation of a Katcina to its clan can be traced in many 

 other instances, but in others, and perhaps the majority, it is 

 obscured by changes in nomenclature and sociologic develop- 

 ment. Katcinas often no longer bear their ancient names but 

 are called from some peculiarity of dress, prominent symbol of 

 the mask, or peculiar cry emitted by them, which has no con- 

 nection with the totems of their respective clans. 



The Ajia Katcina (brothers, men) and the Ana Katcina 

 manas (sisters) belong to this group. Originally introduced by 

 Patki (Raincloud clans) from settlements on the Little Colorado 

 River, their name has no relation to the clans which brought 

 them. In fact at Zuhi the dance of this Katcina is called the 

 Kokski, good dance, while the name of the same at Walpi is 

 the Ana or long hair. We have also at the latter pueblos other 

 names for the Ana manas, as Soy al manas, equally inapplicable, 

 so far as their clan relation is concerned. 



The popular names of Hopi gods, among which are included 

 Katcinas or clan tutelary supernaturals, are commonly of exo- 

 teric origin and are oftentimes very numerous. Unfortunately 

 the archaic name is often lost, although in a few cases it is the 

 same as the popular. In a future article I hope to show that 

 this is true of the nomenclature of the Sun God, the identity of 

 which can be recognized by morphology in its symbolistic rep- 

 resentation or resemblances in the masks. 



Fifth Act. 

 As after former acts, we waited a few minutes only for the 

 next, a fifth, which was somewhat similar in character to the 

 first. A call at the hatchway, and an invitation from within 

 to enter, led to the appearance of a procession of masked 

 men, who came down the ladder bearing paraphernalia for their 

 exhibition hidden under their arms or concealed in blankets. 

 The fire tenders shielded the fire once more with blankets so that
