Temtfmci 



(Plate 32, c) 



Costume. — "The face is painted blue and is spotted all over. The 

 spots are from the blood of the little boy, because he was with Hai'nawi 

 and Ho'matci when they killed him. His face is marked with the 

 bear's paw. Around the face a fringe of black hair. He has wing 

 feathers of the eagle in his large ears. The black of the head is 

 painted white. On his head lacowanlana. When he conies to 

 frighten people he wears it with the tips forward the way the war 

 chief wears it when he goes to war. But when he comes to dance he 

 wears it with the tips back. He wears other feathers too. These 

 are dyed red. When they killed the little boy he dipped his feather 

 in the blood. He did not want to spoil his lacowanlana, so he took 

 downy feathers and dipped them in. Coyote skin collar, because the 

 children are afraid of coyotes. 



" His body is spotted with red from the blood of the little boy. He 

 painted his arms and legs over with pink clay so that the people would 

 not be afraid of him. He wears a white kilt and a white-fringed sash. 

 Fox skin. He wears arm bands \vith lahacoma so that they will like 

 him in spite of the fact that he helped them kill the little boy. He 

 wears a bandoleer of supiatonane. Blue moccasins. Yarn on left 

 leg, turtle-shell rattle on right. Yucca in both hands. He carries 

 it with the points back because he never strikes anyone. 



" He has a loud voice. He went with Hai'nawi and Ho'matci when 

 they killed the little boy and gave his call to frighten everyone. His 

 voice still frightens the little children and the growTi people too. 

 His call is 'Tem-tem-ci! Tem-tem-ci!' "

 came in August, 1925. R. L. B.)
