ZUNI AND HOPI CEREMONIES

the Afiakatciua at Walpi. There is no doubt in my iiiiiul that they are 

 the same, but I can uot acc'e])t the dictum that what is observed in oue 

 is identical with what exists in the otlier. There are slight modifica- 

 tions which exist likewise in different Hopi villages, as will be seen by 

 a comparison of my descriptions of the two. One marked difference is 

 that several Kokokshi dances were performed in the summer I spent 

 at Zuni, and that this identical Katcina (the Ana) is xierformed but once 

 each summer in any one Hopi- village. 



The only other Kijko' dance which I know of from personal observa- 

 tion is the tablet dance, which is in many respects homologous with the 

 Humiskatcina. The symbolism of the mask and tablet, however, dif-

fers from the Iliimis, and while in a si)eculative way I regard them the 

 same we must await more research to prove them identical. The sub- 

 ject is still more comi)licated by the fact that the Hopi have a tablet 

 mask with still a third symbolic character, which they call the Zuni or 

 Siohumiskatcina. 



I think we need have no hesitation in supposing that the so-called Sio 

 (Zuni) Katcina, which I have elsewhere described, is a Zufii celebra- 

 tion derived from that pueblo. I do not know whether it is ever 

 performed there in the same way as at Walpi, since it has not been 

 described by any of the students of the Zunians. 



We have, however, as before mentioned, a partial description by 

 Gushing of the Zuiii ShAlako, and from his account we can gather a 



'Coco ill Spanish sijrnilies a bogy. In compounds it can be detected in Cocomaricopa, where it may
