c Ma''sakiia— ma — from mawe (salt), is .so named from a man having visited the Salt Mother before

rtThe shrine symbolizing the Middle of the world, the spot upon which He'patina stands. It is 

 claimed that this place received the name of Ko'lin from a tuft of grass pulled up by the ancients 

 exposing black water having the odor of burning sulphur. The shrine is a few hundred yards 

 southwest of Zufii. 



e Halona is the village which was occupied by the A'shiwi previous to their settling at I'tiwanna. 

 The two are separated by the Zufii river. 



/Supposed to occupy the middle of the world. 



ffThe body of one wearing a mask becomes the abode of the god he impersonates; he blows from 

 his heart the breath of A'wonawil'ona upon the plumes or the hand and carries these to the mouth 

 of another, that the sacred breath may be inhaled. The breath of A'wonawil'ona is everywhere; 

 it is life itself.
