NO. 8 CREEK SlJUARE GROUNDS SWANTON 29 



Some of the medicine is swallowed, the rest spit out. The doctor sees 

 that tlie medicines are taken and fines those who neglect to do so. 



There is a town policeman called istikona'ha who carries out the 

 orders of the miko against those who have refused to obey him, and 

 collects fines from them. The incumbent in 1929 was Maxcy z'Makotci. 

 When I interviewed them they were using the tastanagi as the 

 town miko. 



The Hathagas are the Bear, Wind. Bird, and Alligator ; the 

 Tcilokis are the Raccoon, Aktayatci, Deer, and Potato. 



The Aktayatci are said to have formed one phratry with the 

 Raccoon. 



In match games, they played against Tukabahchee, Atasi. Laplako, 

 Eufaula, Hilibi, and Kealedji. Alabama was formerly of the same 

 fire but later drew away. 



This year (1929) they did not use the pasa. The Asilanabi square 

 ground is arranged just like this one, but the Okchai differ from these 

 two a little in the use of their medicines. It is thought that Asilanabi 

 is older than Lalogalga and that the latter branched off in order to 

 get the extra money that was paid to its six representatives in the 

 national assembly. 



Rxcept that there is more detail, the arrangement given here differs 

 only slightly from that which I recorded in 1912 (42d Ann. Rc]).. 

 Bur. Amer. Ethnol., p. 236). The only noteworthy divergence is 

 in the position assigned to the Deer clan by my earlier informants, 

 but this may be attributed to the fact that the miko apokta was then 

 a Deer and his clan was probably brought over to the west cabin 

 for that reason. As we should expect, the agreement is also close 

 with the arrangement of the Asilanabi ground though there are 

 minor divergencies in the allocation of clans to the south cabin. All 

 of my authorities agreed well in assigning clans to the two moieties, 

 but the oldest of all of them thought that the Beaver and Alligator 

 were prol)al)lv Tciloki. This may have been the ancient arrangement. 



TUKABAHCHEE 



The plan of Tukabahchee square ai>pears in bigure <) aiul a \iew ol 

 it as it looked in 1912 is given in Plate 5, Figure i. 



The number of tastanagis is indeterminate. The toba mawidine 

 were officers not otherwise named who always remained in the cabins. 

 There is one in each of the 12 beds except a part of the southeast 

 ca])in as indicated. They were selected from any clan, given names 

 taken from the father's clan, and seated with the latter. Thus, if
