274 TUSAYAN KATCINAS [kth.ann.15 



Fioiii tlie foregoing' table we Icaiii that in tiio iJetuiu Ivatciua for 

 1894 the following' were personified: 



1. Kiitca (white) aua. (>. Ilii'iki. 



2. Coyobini. 7. Heh<a. 



3. Tcakwaina. S. Aviitchoya. 



4. Popkotu. 9. Tacal). 



5. Mucaizru. Id. ITninis. 



The accoinpaiiyiiig clowns were the Tatcii'kti or knob-head priests. 

 It is au interestiug fact that in the celebration of tiie departure of the 

 Katcinas the clowns took no part, but these priests were important 

 additions to the Siocalako. 



The celebration of the Return Katcina, which occurs in the winter 

 Pa moon, is accompanied by elaborate rites i>erformed by either the 

 Snake-Antelope or the Flute fraternity, the society observing it being 

 that which will give its celebration in the summer Pa moon of the 

 same year. A description of these rites naturally falls in an account 

 of the group of unnnisked dances. They extend over several days 

 and appear to be wholly distinct from the celebration of the lleturn 

 Katcina. While these are being performed in the "upper world," 

 the comi)lemental Flute or Snake observances arc supposed to be 

 taking place in the "under world," where the summer Pa moon then 

 reigns. Precisely the same relationship is thought to exist between 

 the two as that between the seasons of the north and south temperate 

 zones.

This ceremony is one of the most elaborate in which the Katcmas 

 appear, and for want of a better name may be designated a renovation^ 

 or purification observance. In the year 1893 it took place near the 

 close of January and continued for nine days, and in a previous^ arti- 

 cle I have mentioned and figured the most striking personages, the 

 monsters or Natackas, who appear in its presentation (plates cv, OVi, 

 CXI). There are, however, certain other personages new to students 

 of Tusayan ceiemonials who are introduced, and 1 have therefore 

 thought it well to describe the i^resentation in exteuso. 

 The details of this ceremony in 1893 were as follows:^ 

 Jamwry ^0 — Early this morning Ilonyi went to all the kivas and 

 formally announced that the ceremony was soon to begin. There was 

 no public announcement, as no Katcina celebration is made known in 



* Numbers 1, 2, 7, 9 jiud 10 of this list have been described as abbreviated Katcinns. The sym- 

 bolism of 3 and 8 is showu in my figures of dolls; of the remainder my information is as yet very 

 limited. 



'Comparable with the Nalmatl Ocliiianitzli. The points of similarity between the two are the 

 predominance i)f the Eartli yoddess and the ceremonial renovatiim of tlie sacred gathering places.
