mana (Flute Maid).1® In Palulukonti'® she is personated by the 
first method, and is called Calakomana. The most elaborate images 
of this being, also called Calakomanas, are secular in character, and 
are used as dolls. All her different names, and some others which 
might be mentioned, are aliases, sacerdotal society names of the same 
mythological conception, which may more accurately be called 
Muiyinwu, the Germ Goddess, who is likewise associated with rain. 
The symbolism of images on the left side of the Katcina altars 
of Miconinovi and of Oraibi is highly conventionalized, but clearly 
enough developed to show that the images represent the same Rain- 
Germ Goddess who, in some ceremonials, is personified by a girl; 
in others by a similar image. This image is called the Rain-Germ 
(Corn)?° Maid because in the most elaborate representations of her 
this bifid nature is strongly indicated by symbolism. Her idol on 
the Miconinovi Flute altar has four symbols of corn on the body, and 
bears three rain cloud tablets on the head. In numerous dolls ** she 
has a symbol of an ear of corn on the forehead and an elaborate rain- 
cloud tablet with a rainbow on the head. 
The other idol, likewise known in various ceremonials by tute- 
lary sacerdotal aliases, is the male cultus hero, the fructifying 
principle symbolized by lightning and personified according to 
the society, by such supernaturals as Cotokinungwu, Puukonhoya, 
Tcuatiyo, Lentiyo, and the like. 
In this totem-pole-like doll we have Hehea, the male, with two 
Calakos, females, as their symbolism clearly indicates. The Hopi 
have a legend that the Calako maids brought the first corn to their 
ancestors, and in that legend it is said that Calakotaka, or the male 
Calako, a sun god, initiated the youth into the Katcinas by flogging 
them, as Tunwup still functions in Powamu. 
The etymology of the word Calako is unknown to me, and it may 
have been derived from the same source as the Zuni word. A corn 
husk, and by derivation a cigarette paper, is called by the Hopi a 
calakabu. 
The symbolism of the male Calako is identical with that of Tun- 
wup and resembles that of the Zufii Shalako. The Hopi celebrate

7 As maize is the most important food of the Pueblo Indians there is a tendency to 
make this name more specific, ‘Corn Maid.” This appears to be the name of the doll 
Calakomana, “‘Corn Maid.” 
71The range of variation of the dolls of the Calakomana may be seen by consultation 
of my memoir on Tusayan Dolls (Int. Archiv fiir Ethnog., Band VII, pp. 45-74, 1894). 
One of the strangest of these represents two Germ Maids, one above the other, sur- 
mounted by a male figurine, Hehea Katcina, which has lightning emblenrs on the cheeks 
and phallic symbols on the body.
