28*) TUSAYAN KATCINAS Ictii an-n. 15 



were made, but tin- .same ceremonials were ])n)bably rejjeated. Alter 

 this tliey went off to [jerform the same eeremoiiies in the kivas of other 

 villages on the mesa. 



At 11 oclock a "froup of 12 meu and a boy IVom Ilauo, costumed but 

 accompanied by an uncostumed fiddler,' visited all the kivas in succes- 

 sion. Their bodies were jiaintcd white and they had i)lumes m tiieir 

 hair, but were unmaslied. Kadi wore a fox skin dc])endinjf from the 

 loins, was barefoot, and carried a gourd rattle in the light hand and a 

 sprig of spruce in the i(^ft hand. Their visits were expe<'t('d, but they 

 l)ersonated no especial Kalcina^ and after tlieir departure the men in 

 the Moukiva rehearsed a song. 



February .3— No ceremonial took place throughout the day. The 

 walls of the kivas were renovated by the girls with a wash of mud, and 

 every kiva on the mesa was replastered m this way during the festival. 



February 4 — This day the manufacture of tihus (dolls) went on in 

 all tlie kivas, and there was a continuation of the ic])lastering and 

 decoration of the walls of these chambers. 



At !) oclock a dialogue similar to that above recorded on the l-",tth of 

 January took place between Hahaiwiif|ti and the kiva chief. The 

 former wished to go among the children, but was told that it was very 

 dark and the children were asleep. She was finally i)ievailed on to 

 wait until the morrow. 



At I(» p. in 20 unmasked persons,^ men and women with flowing liair, 

 from Sitcomovi visited all the VValpi kivas. Each of the male per.son 

 ators carried a narrow green tablet (pavaiyikaci ),^ fringed with long red 

 hair and decorated with a symbol of the sun painted in colors. Each 

 had a gourd rattle, and a stick about 2 feet long, to the end of which 

 was attached half a gourd painted to represent a squash blossom, was 

 held in the right hand. The 10 men personating women were not cos- 

 tumed. The leader carried a large Oraibi basket tray with a broad, 

 brightly colored handle. In this was an efiQgy of <a bird. 



He set this tray on the fioor near the fireplace, and after the chief of 

 the kiva had sprinkled the visitors with meal a male and a female per- 

 sonator advanced from the western end of the kiva to the fireplace. 

 The man picked uj) the basket on the butt end of his stick anil pre- 

 sented it to the woman, who held it in both hands and danced a few 

 moments, while all the others sang. She then laid the tray down and 

 passed to the northern side of the chamber, the man retiring to the 

 southern side. After the other couples had performed the same cere- 

 mony they left the kivas. 



Immediately after their departure 28 persouators from llano entered. 

 These consisted of male and female deities, the latter personated by 

 men. The former passed to the southern, the latter to the northern
