them introduce personifications of events which occur dur- 

 ing the summer. The existence of this curious modified 

 performance, by which the Navajo force the gluttons to 

 run and their refusal with many objections may, however, 

 be of ancient origin. 



The introduction of such personages as Ute-ce-e (Apa- 

 che) and Td-cdb-kd-tci-nd by the Hopi in their sacred 

 dances is an interesting fact. It must be borne in mind 

 that the village Indians of Tusayan have had frequent wars 

 with these tribes, often of most bloody character. I have 

 been shown a cleft in the East Mesa near precipitous cliffs 

 at the west end, where the dead, in one of their wars with 

 the cruel Apaches, were buried, and I have been told of a 

 certain struggle with them in which the hearts of the dead

Apaches were given to the Hopi women (the unmarried 

 women were especially mentioned) to eat, in order that 

 their children, Hopi warriors, might be brave against their 

 enemies. This story was told me on good authority and, 

 in a comparative way, one has no reason to doubt its pos-

Notwithstanding, however, this traditional hatred in the 

 Hopi mind against the Apache and Navajo the villagers 

 have introduced an Apache Kd-tci-nd in the Wd-wdc-kd- 

 tci-nd, while in the So-yo-him a sacred Kd-lci-nd dance a 

 personage called the Td-cdb (Navajo) is prominent. This 

 incorporation of foreign Kd-tvi^nds is suggestive. We 

 can readily see a good reason for the introduction of Ed- 

 tci-nds from the Zunis, but it might seem strange that others 

 should be derived from enemies. The way the Hopi re- 

 gard this question may, however, be summed up in a lib- 

 eral statement expressed by An-a-vvi-ta, viz. : that it is 

 wrong to speak of Kd-tci-nds as Zufii or as Hopi. The 

 Kd-tci-nds are without nationality, "they are for all," but
