NO. 8 CREEK SQUARE GROUNDS S WANTON 21 



In this town the Turkey and Ahigator clans belong in one phratry 

 and so do the Wind and Skunk. 

 The present officers are as follows : 



miko Nokos Aliko 



heniha JMiko Tcapko 



hilis haya Tastanakutci 



tutka oktidldja Hot;ilgi Hadjudji 



hilis tcalaba Ludja Yahola 



hoktagi iminiko W'otko Yahola 



When the present Nuyaka data are compared with that which I 

 obtained in 1912 for Nuyaka and the related towns Okfuskee, 

 Abihkutci, Talniutcasi, and Tcatoksofa, the agreement is found to 

 be close except in the cases of the two last where the square grounds 

 had long been given up and were described by individuals from 

 memories of their early years. The main correction is in locating 

 the miko, heniha, and hilis haya and the difference here is not great.

Figure 5 gives the plan and Plate 2, Figure 2, and Plate 3, Figure i, 

 views of the ground, one showing the three calrins, or arbors, and the 

 other the chunk yard and ball post. 



The tutka oktidldja, hilis tcalaba, hilis haya, and oldjawas, were 

 appointed every four years from any clan. The ta'palas and hilis 

 hoboia were appointed every four years from the same clan. The 

 miko and asimbonaias held their positions for life. 



Here we seem to meet some strange innovations. The Bears' 

 section of the south cabin receives one name connected with war, 

 tasikaialgi intupa, and the section of the Birds, Beavers, and 

 Alligators another, tastanagalgi intupa, while, at the same time, they 

 are White or Hathaga clans and their cabin is called hathagalgi 

 intupa. Yet one section of the west cabin is called tastanagalgi intupa 

 also, and the whole cabin receives the unusual name of laksafaskalgi 

 intupa, " bed of the Blacks," the Blacks being evidently the clans 

 elsewhere called tcilokogalgi. 



The tcokofa was to the northwest and this was the last town to 

 put up such a structure. 



The Birds' section was called istatcagagi intupa. The Deer and 

 Pahosalgi were formerly called the imah'igalgi. 



Three poles with white feathers attached were fastened to eacli 

 of the front posts for use in the feather dance. 



Back of the tastanagis' .section of the west ca1)in was a little 

 structure in which to inclose the medicine pots when they were not 

 in use.
