cine bowl surrounded with ears of corn 

 pointed toward the cardinal points, is 

 temporarily used. The construction of 

 the altar, the rites performed before it, and 

 its destruction form interesting features 

 of Hopi ceremonies and date back to an- 

 cient times. Numerous shrine altars are 

 mentioned, some near, others distant 

 from, the present pueljlos, and many have 

 been observed which were the worship- 

 ing places of inhabitants of the ancient 

 pueblos, (w. H.) 



Altinin (from Altau, the native name 

 of a place in their territory). A Yokuts

Amahami {ama 'land,' khami 'broken': 

 'mountainous country'). A former dis- 

 tinct Siouan tribe, long since incorporated 

 with the Hidatsa; also the name of their 

 Tillage. Along with the Hidasta they 

 claimed to have formerly constituted one 

 tribe with the Crows. Their language, 

 however, indicated closest affinity with 

 the Hidatsa, differing l)ut slightly from 

 it, although they occupied a separate vil- 

 lage and long maintained separate tribal 

 organization. They were recognized as a 

 distinct tribe by Lewis and Clark in 1804, 

 but had practically lost their identity 30 

 years later. In Lewis and Clark's time 

 their village was at the mouth of Knife r. , 

 N. Dak., and was one of three, the other 

 two being Hidatsa, which for many years 

 stood on the banks of that stream. " Their 



strength was estimated at 50 warriors. 

 After the epidemic of 1837 all or the 

 greater part of the survivors joined the 

 Hidatsa and were merged with that tribe. 

 Lewi.s and Clark state that they had been 

 a numerous and prosperous agricultural 

 tribe which once divided the upper Mis- 

 souri valley, w. of the Dakota group, with 

 the Arikara, ^landan, and Hidatsa, the 

 remains of the old towns of these four 

 tribes being visible on every prairie ter- 

 race along the river for 600 miles. The 

 remnants of all four were found by Mat- 

 thews ( Ethnog. Hidatsa, 13, 1877) at Fort 

 Berthold, numbering fewer than 2,500.
