Figure 42.—Wolf and sheep game. 
On Saturday morning everyone goes to church about 10 a.m. The 
men bring their weapons as before and place them upside down. The 
services, conducted by the sacristan, consist of prayers and 10 rosaries 
said in Spanish. Then they begin to sing. At the beginning of the 
first song the weapons and shields are quickly turned right side up. 
The black cloth is removed from the image of Christ. Young men, 
outside the church by the door, fire guns (as they do when the image 
of the Blessed Virgin is carried out of the church on August 15). The 
kahera rolls hisdrum. ‘‘This opens the way for Jesus to go to Heaven.” 
The other way of celebrating Holy Week is like the one just de- 
scribed except that instead of the games they have a masked kachina 
dance. I shall now describe this procedure. 
Fiscale mayor tells Tiamunyi a month in advance that he wants to 
have the shiwana (katsina) come. At the same time he asks the 
head of the society, which owns the masks of the katsina he wants to 
have used in the dance, to make preparations for the occasion; some- 
times fiscale will ask two societies to bring their shiwana. If the head 
of a society does not have enough men to dance, he asks War chief to 
recruit more dancers. The members of the society, or societies, 
together with all men who are to wear the masks, vomit and observe 
sexual continence for 4 days before Holy Thursday. During these 
4 days the dancers practice songs and dances each evening. The 
dances will take place on Thursday and Friday. 
Early on Thursday morning fiscale summons everyone to church 
except the men who are to take part in the dance; they remain in the 
ceremonial house of the society in charge. Other men bring their 
weapons and shields to church as before described. Tiamunyi goes 
to the church, but comes right out again and goes to the hotcanitsa. 
Masewi decides when the dancing shall begin. He leads the dancers
