wood rat a day. And besides we have no clothing. Near where we 

 live there are many people staying and when we go out to hunt we 

 are ashamed to stay out because we have nothing with which to 

 cover ourselves. We have to run home when people come because 

 we have nothing to wear. That is why we have come. We have 

 come for clothing, if there is anything that you can spare us.' . . .-'" 



Then Pautiwa listened and Sayataca and everyone listened. Pau- 

 tiwa said, "Yes, it is so. I shall see how we can fix you up." So 

 Pautiwa said, "Now here is a blue kilt." He took out two dark blue 

 kilts for them, and Komokatsik went and got two embroidered sashes 

 that were hanging from the deei horn. Then she took down the two 

 embroidered sashes and laid them down on top of the blue kilts. 

 Then Pautiwa said, "Now that is enough to cover you." They did 

 not have any beads, so Pautiwa said, "There are some beads there. 

 Those will do for them too." Then each of the katcinas took off a 

 string of beads and laid them down for them. There was a great 

 pile of beads for them. Then Pautiwa said to Sayataca, "Now who 

 shall dress them?" Then Hututu, bow priest chief of Sayataca, got 

 up and he put the beads around their necks and showed them how to 

 wear them, and he put strings of beads around their wrists. Their 

 necks were bare, so they brought fawn skins to hide their necks. Then 

 they put on the blue kilts and the embroidered sashes between their 

 legs and he put a leather wrist band on the left wrist of each one. 

 Then he said, "Now that is the way you will dress. You will live at 

 the sand hill and you will come out in the evening. You will hear 

 our songs every time we sing and when we come near you will notice. 

 We shall always come in early in the morning before the sun is up. 

 And when you hear the mixed dance coming you wiU always come 

 and join in and you need not be ashamed. You will always come in 

 the mixed dance." They had bare feet and their feet were greasy, 

 so Pautiwa said, "There are no moccasins to fit you. But it is not 

 right that you should walk all the time without moccasins. So when 

 the j'ounger brother is tired, the elder brothei will carry him, and 

 when he is rested he will take his turn and cany his elder brother. 

 You will alwaj's take turns carr^nng one another, and that is the way 

 you will change in the dance." 



After they had dressed them they told them they should come to 

 Itiwana to dance with the mixed dance when they heard them coming 

 in from Katcina Village. They told them what to do. Then again 

 Pautiwa said, "Now what else did you come for? Do you need any- 

 thing besides clothing?" They said, "We need good things to eat." 

 So they laid out large pieces of dried deer meat tied together with 

 yucca cord, and they both carried the meat. Then they said, "This 

 is all we came for. Now we are going home." So they started on
