1020 ZUNI KATCINAS /eth. ann. 47 



"That is how Towa Tackwena comes. He comes at the end of 

 Ca'lako and sings like this and makes fim of individuals. But he par- 

 ticularly makes fun of the Koyemci. The poor Koyemci have been in 

 retreat for fifteen days and Towa Tcakwena comes and makes fun 

 of them and tells them what their wives are doing and tries to hurt 

 their feelings. They say, 'We have just come from the sacred 

 lake. And what do you think? We saw father Koyemci's wife 

 going over to Pautiwa's house while father Koyemci was here at 

 Itiwana.' Then the Koyemci say, 'Are they really doing things like 

 that at the sacred lake while we are here visiting our friends?' So 

 they make fun of them like that because the Koyemci have not 

 been home for fifteen days." 



(When Tcakwena danced after Ca'lako in 1927 and 1928 their 

 songs contained no dii'ect homilies addressed to the children, but had 

 many references to ceremonial breaches of various individuals. See 

 p. 889 for paraphrase of a Tcakwena song. — R. L. B.)
