BUKZEL] THE INITIATION 997 



So then they tried the bhie Salimopiya and his call was just the same. 

 All the Salimopiya were the same. So then they tried the sweet com, 

 Lelacoktipona, and his call was a little one. Then they said, "Is 

 there anyone here who can sit in the swing?" (The swing was made 

 of a piece of wood hung on a red woman's belt, with valuable beads 

 for the katcina to sit on.) They wanted to try them all and see if 

 they could find anyone with a good voice to give all the calls. "We 

 must have someone who will sit in the swing before the other katcinas 

 come in, and when they come to the roof they will give their calls and 

 he Avill answer. One of them may have a big voice and one may have 

 a little voice, but the one who sits in the swing must answer them all 

 the way they call. Who will be the best to do this? Wlio has the 

 best voice to make all these calls and tell the people to come in? I 

 wonder if there is anyone at the sacred lake to do this for us." So 

 the rain priest said, and the yellow Salimopiya said, "We know who' 

 will be good for it. You tell Pautiwa to send you his young son, 

 UpoVona. He will be good for that, because when the mixed dance 

 comes he can make the calls of all the dancers." "All right, we shall 

 send for him." So they asked for bun in a prayer. They sat down 

 and prayed that they might have the son of Pautiwa for his sweet 

 voice to make the calls. Right away the same night he came. The 

 Salimopiya were still in the rain priests' ceremonial room with the 

 rain priests. Then Upo'yona came. He came in and sat down. 

 The sun priest made bun sit down. He presented bun to each direc- 

 tion and made him sit down. Then he said, "Now why have you 

 sent for me? I should like to hear." Then the chief priest answered 

 and said, "We are going to have an initiation to initiate our boys and 

 all those of our children who have been chosen to whip the boys are 

 in this room. Now we want them to call out and whoever has a 

 sweet voice should answer them just the way they call out. But 

 none of them has a voice that he can make sound like the others. 

 Then we thought of you and we have sent for you to see if you can 

 do it." So he said, "I shall try." Then the yellow Salimopiya gave 

 his call and right away Upo'yona called out just the way the yellow 

 Salimoi5iya had done. And when they had finished the blue Salimo- 

 piya gave his call, and Upo'yona called out right after liim, just the 

 way he had called. And so on. All the others gave their calls one 

 by one, and he answered them all in their own voices. Then the rain 

 priests were very much pleased and they said, "Isn't that nice! 

 Now you shall sit on the swing and wait for these others when they 

 come in. When they come up on the kiva, and before they come in 

 they will call out. And you wUl be sitting in the kiva and when they 

 call out you \vill answer them just as you have done now. And your 

 name will be Upo'yona Impiyona. You will be Impiyona sitting in the 

 swing." So that is the way he happened to come in for the initiation.
