100 SUMMER CEREMONIALS 



stood opposite them and both began the monotonous song 

 and accompanying dance. The flag leaves, borne by the 

 procession, were collected together and carried into a 

 neighboring house and a squaw sprinkled the dancers with 

 pinches of sacred meal. 



After they had danced at the west side of the pueblo 

 they marched to the small open space which opens in the 

 north side, then to the Sacred Piaza, then to that west of 

 the old Spanish church now in ruins, and finally at about 

 ten o'clock in the evening to the estufa adjoining the house 

 of the Cacique of the Sun. Here they unmasked and 

 danced apparently the same dance as in the plazas, but as 

 I was unable to enter I know nothing of their ceremonials 

 in that room. 



On the following day the Ko-ko and Lar-sJio-wah-wey 

 danced all da} 7 in the open places, passing at intervals in- 

 to the estufa. A grand feast was given them about noon 

 time in that place, the food being brought to them by their 

 squaws. 



The Koy-e-a-ma-shi kept up a continuous exhibition of 

 their foolery in the Sacred Plaza during the day, a spec- 

 tacle which was watched throughout the afternoon by the 

 men, women, and children of the pueblo congregated on 

 the neighboring housetops and in available places in the 

 plaza itself. 



Several Kor-kok-shi dances occurred in the course of 

 the summer, all resembling in general the one already de- 

 scribed, but in none of them was there a procession of 

 Ko-ko to the pueblo on the night before the dance or a 

 visit to the Sacred Lake for water. 



H A Y-A-M A-SHE-QUE . 



As the season wore on there occurred a tablet-dance 1 



1 So-called from the fact that the dancers wore painted tablets on their heads.
