290 TUSAYAN KATCINAS [kth. asn.15 



crated on tlie cloud-i'liarni altar.^ One yontli was told to deposit liis at 

 slirines in a i-ircnit, heyinning with Tawapa (Snn spring), and the other 

 at Kokyanba (Spider spring) and Tuveskyabi. Two sets of otterings 

 were left, and these with Katcinas were placed on the southwest juiint 

 of the mesa. Tiiis closed the ceremony, for Intiwa then replaced the 

 I)lng of tlie sipapfi and tied u]) his tii>oni and other ])arai)heinalia. 



The Natacka grouj) went to the Wikwaliobikiva, and there Soyoko 

 gave each of them and the Heheakatcina a handful of meal and a 

 nakwi'ikwoci. Talahoya blew puffs of smoke over tlieni. They th(^u 

 marched around the houses to tlie Xacabki, along the ])laza to Tciva- 

 toki, and then to Alkiva, where they begged for meat and held comic 

 dialogues with different chiefs. At the last-mentioned place there 

 came from the kiva six *men arrayed and costumed as tlie Mamzrauti 

 tcatumakaa, who, singing as they went, marched to the dance court and 

 halted close to the edge of the cliff, facing the houses. The Nat;icka 

 grou)) accompanied them, and two men personifying Heheakatcinas 

 assumed erotic paroxysms and lay down on their backs on the ground 

 close to the disguised Mamzrauti personages, endeavoring to lift up 

 their kilts and performing obscene actions. Then they rolled on tlie 

 ground in assumed fits. The Natackas, as usual, maintained their 

 prancing step around them, antf occasionally Soyokmann thumped 

 them with the butt end of her crook. After about five minutes of this 

 exhibition the Hehea seized the Mamzrai'iti personators and tumbled 

 them into an indiscriminate heap, fell on top of them, and did other 

 acts which need not be mentioned. The Natacka then retired for food, 

 and, unmasking m the kiva, did 7i(it again appear. 



Fchntary ii — Food was carried to all the kivas yesterday morning, 

 but there was neither dancing nor ceremonials. 



Fihruanj 7 — No ceremony took place on this day, but the kiva chief 

 and the Ileheakatcinas played a curious game of ball called sunwu- 

 winpa, in which the ball is attached to a looped string. The player 

 laj^ on his back and, passing the loop over the great toe, projected the 

 ball back over his head. Two groups of these players were noted.
