woman; south, kékanm4ko, red woman; east, gdciyandko, white 
woman; zenith, mo-nanako, dark, or black, woman; nadir, kwicti- 
rinako, brown or tan woman; there is no woman for the middle. These 
women-color-directions are mentioned in a rain song of the Kwiraina 
(Querranna) society as recorded by Stevenson (1894, p. 130), except 
that zenith and nadir are reversed. 
Animals —North, mo-kaite (mountain lion); west, kowdhaiya 
(bear); south, dyu-pi (badger); east, k’ak’ana (wolf); zenith, dyami 
(eagle); and nadir, maipyup" (shrew). ‘These animals are addressed 
in this order in the rain song mentioned above (see White, 1942 a, p. 83, 
for data on other Keresan pueblos). 
Birds.—North, h‘a-pyaiya (western tanager); west, ma-pewi (car- 
dinal); south, caiuactvtc (unidentified); east, cré6wakaiya (magpie); 
zenith, waiya’ana (unidentified); nadir, ga-wa (a night bird like the 
Poor-will, cpiyuka, but larger) ; see White (1947 b, pp. 227-29) for names 
of birds. 
Snakes.—I did not obtain their names, but Stevenson (1894, pp. 
69, 125-26) lists them as: north, Skatowe (Plumed Serpent); west, 
Kaspanna; south, Koquaira; east, Quissera; zenith, Huwaka [sky]; 
the earth, Ya’ai. Only one of these appears in my list of names of 
snakes (1947 b, p. 239), namely, ya’ai, which is the hognose snake 
(Heterodon nasicus). Perhaps Stevenson’s names are ceremonial 
terms (White, 1944 b). 
Trees.—I did not obtain their names but, as we have just seen, 
Stevenson identified them with the weather control spirits. 
To return to the ‘‘“Map of the World’: In the middle-north is the 
Place of Emergence where the people came up from Shipap in the 
yellow world, the lowest of the four (the place of emergence itself has 
often been called Shipap, but I understood my informants to say that 
this name designates the place of origin in the lowest world). Caiyaik, 
the patron spirit of the Hunters’ society, lives in Cloud-robe House 
(henati, cloud; naBack’, robe or ‘‘manta’”’; kai, house) in the north. 
Also in the north, but between the middle and the northern edge of 
the world, is Kacik&tcutiya (White House), the place in all Keresan 
origin myths where the people lived after their emergence and where 
they obtained most of their institutions and other cultural items. 
The modern pueblo of Sia is located in the center of the Earth, as are 
all Keresan pueblos (Zufii, also). 
In the northwest corner is Gyitibo-kai (northwest house), the home 
of the dead. The Ckoyo (Giant) society has its home in the north- 
west corner, also. 
In the middle-west is Wenima, the home of the Katsina, the anthro- 
pomorphic rainmakers, and the Gomaiyawic. Kapina lives in the 
southwest corner in Buniyana (westerly) Kacikactutiya (White
