parsons] ORAI'BI, the LAGUNA COLONY 357 



We may summarize the outcome of the Isleta-Laguna contact as 

 fourfold : 



1. The hinguage of the immigrants has been retained, but not 

 communicated to the hosts. 



2. Refinements in the craft of pottery making have been passed 

 on from immigrants to hosts. 



3. That part of the social organization which is affected by inter- 

 marriage and descent (moiety and clan) has been adopted by the 

 immigrants from the hosts. 



4. The ceremonial organization of the immigrants has been retained 

 and contributed or patched on to that of the hosts. 



Comparison of this recent Laguna immigration with that of the 

 Tewa to the Hopi early in the eighteenth century is of interest. The 

 contact between the Hopi and the Tewa immigrants to First Mesa 

 produced results quite similar to that between the Laguna immigrants 

 and the Isletans — retention of their language by the immigrants, 

 without comnnmicating it to their hosts ;^* adoption by the immi- 

 grants of the social organization as affected by intermarriage (adop- 

 tion of a difi'erent clanship system, and in this case the breakdown 

 of the moiety system of the immigrants); ceremonial contributions 

 by the immigrants. 



3s The conditions in regard to pottery making were quite different for the Tewa immigrants than for 

 the Laguna immigrants, as their Hopi hosts probably e.\celled them as potters. But it were of interest 

 to linow if the Tewa immigrants contributed any Rio Grande methods or designs to the First Mesa craft.
