STEVENSON] THE CLANS. 19 



witli luouuted guardsmen at tUe time of a dance of the Ka'-'su-na. A 

 Mexican, especially, must not look upon cue of these anthropomorphic 

 beings. The war chief also directs the hunt under the instruction of 

 the war i>riest and vicar. It is not obligatory that he participate in 

 the hunt; liis vicar, as his representative or other self, may lead the 

 liuntsmen. The governor sees that the civil laws are executed, he 

 looking after the more important matters, leaving the minor cases in 

 the hands of the nuxgistrate. He designates the duties of his people 

 for the coming day by crying his commands in the plaza at sunset. 



Wizards and witches are tried and punished by the war priest; and 

 it has been but a few years since a nmu and his wife suffered death for 

 practicing this diabolical craft. Their child, a boy of some twelve years, 

 Fig. 3, is a pauper who at times begs from door to door, and at other 

 times he is taken into some family and made use of until they grow tired 

 of dispensing their charity. The observations of the writer led her to 

 believe that the boy earned all that he received. Socially, held in con 

 tempt by his elders, he seems a favorite with the children, though this 

 unfortunate is seldom allowed the .joy of childish sport. He is, how-

 belonging to its several divisions. 



The clans (hA-notc) now existing among these people are the

Ko-hai Bear 



Ti-ii'-mi Eagle 



There is but one member of the eagle, one? of the bear, and one of the 

 squash clan, and these men are advanced in years. There is a second 

 member of the squash clan, but he is a Tusayan by birth. The only 

 clans that are numerically well represented are the corn and coyote. 

 There is but one family of the tobacco clan. 



The foHowing are extinct clans:

The writer could not learn that there had ever been more than twenty- 

 one clans, and although the table shows six at the present time, it may 

 be seen from the statement that there are virtually but two. 



Mari'ying into the clan of either i^arent is in opposition to the old 

 law; but at present there is nothing for the Sia to do but to break 

 these laws, if they would preserve the remnant of their people, and 

 while such marriages are looked upon with disfavor, it is "the inevit- 

 able." The young men are watched with a jealous eye by their elders 

 that they do not seek brides among other tribes, and though the beauty
