604 TUSAYAN MIGRATION TRADITIONS [ETH. ANN. 19 
CLANS FROM MUIOBI AND NEW MEXICAN PUEBLOS 
Honau CLAN 
The author has been unable to gather much information regarding 
the early history of the Bear clan. Kotka, the chief, asserts that his 
people were the first to come to the Hopi country; that they formerly 
lived at Muiobi, the Rio Grande region, and that they ** overcame” 
Masauti, the ancient owner of Tusayan. The author is inclined to 
regard the Bear clan as one of the groups of Pueblo people from the 
vast which migrated to Tusayan at an early date, founding a pueblo 
on a site assigned to it by the Kokop, with whom it lived in friend- 
ship until the advent of the Snake people; his interpretation of the 
‘overthrow of Masauti,” a tutelary god of Sikyatki, will be given later. 
There are at the present time only three members of the Honau 
clan in Walpi: Masaiumcei, the oldest woman, with her son, Kotka, the 
chief, and a daughter, Hofsi, wife of Tu"noa, the Flute chief. Hojisi 
has no children, and if none are born to her, the Honau clan, which 
was once most powerful in Walpi, will become extinct at the death 
of the chief and his sister.

The former home of the Kokop clans was Sikyatki, a pueblo now in 
ruins, about three miles north of Walpi. Archeologic evidence indi- 
cates that this pueblo was destroyed before the first contact of the 
Hopi with the Spaniards, and the Kokop legends declare that it was 
overthrown by Walpi. There was a clan in the Kokop group called 
the Masauti clan, and the Snake legends recount that Masauti formerly 
owned all the country, but that they, the Snake people, overcame him 
and received their title to the site of Walpi from him. This is believed 
to be a reference to the Sikyatki tragedy, and to indicate that Masaut, 
the God of Fire, was a tutelary god of the Kokop or Firewood people. 
Katci, the chief of the surviving Kokop clans, says that his people 
originally came from the pueblo of Jemez or the Jemez country, and 
that before they lived at Sikyatki they had a pueblo in Keams canyon. 
Others say that they also once lived at Eighteen-mile spring, between 
Cotton’s ranch (Pueblo Ganado) and Punci (Keams canyon); others 
that they drifted at one time into the eastern part of Antelope valley, 
where the ruin of their pueblo can still be seen. 
Archeologic investigation shows that Sikyatki was inhabited for many 
years, that its population was large, and that it had developed ceramic 
art in special lines characteristic of Tusayan ware. The technique 
2Kotka really belongs to the Kokyan (Spider) clan of the Bear phratry.
