 carry in the grinding stones and other paraphernalia, arrange it for 

 the katcina maidens, and beat time for the grinding. All their move- 

 ments are hasty and clumsy. (See also pp. 1007, 1066, 1077, for 

 Hehe'a's appearance in other ceremonies.)

Hopi: Hehe'a (Fewkes, Hopi Katcinas, pp. 73, 74; PL XI). 



Cochiti: "The iirst personage to appear to the onlookers is the heruta of chief 

 of the shiwanna. The koshare are as indispensable in the secret dances as in 

 everything. Their chief is absorbed by the heruta who says to him in signs (the 

 shiwanna never speak), "Here I have the shiwanna who have come to visit the 

 pueblo and present a dance." "What a liar!" says the koshare. "Where are 

 the dancers?" "Close by here. Ask the people if they want to see them." 

 Then the koshare begs the cacique to ask tlie people if they want to see the shi- 

 wanna, or if the koshare asks himself he spices his questions with pleasantries 

 which are a delight to the people. "This old man asks if you want to see his 

 dancers, the shiwanna. If you want to he bids you say 'Yes!'" The women 

 begin to call out, "Yes, yes." The heruta is always deaf as well as dumb. He 

 says in gestures "I hear nothing at all." The women then start to cry louder, 

 "Yes, yes." The heruta points to his ears and holds up one finger; he had heard 

 only one person. "Yes, yes," begins again. The koshare says, "Call louder. 

 This old man has ticks in his ears; he is deaf." Everybody laughs. Finally the 

 heruta has heard. The koshare says to him, "Come, go get your shiwanna.
