ccsHiNG] JOURNEYINGS OF THE CLANS. 427 



ward and sat them down at last with other people of the way, in the 

 upper valley of Zuuiland (Shi'wiua Ten'hlkwaina), building Hesho- 

 tatsina (The Town of Si)eechmaikings) and many other towns, all 

 of them ronnd and divided into parts, ere they rejoined the people of 

 the Middle, when that they too had come nigh over the heart of the 

 world — all this and much else is told in the speeches they tbemselves 

 hold of onr ancient discourse. 



THE EASTWARD MIDDLE JOURNEY OF THE PEOPLE OF THE 



MIDDLE. 



How the People of the ^liddle, the Macaw people and their children, 

 journeyed straightway eastward, led by Ahaiyuta and the fathers of 

 all the people, this we tell in the mid-coming speech of our sacred an- 

 cient discourse, and in other speeches thereof. How, now, after time, 

 they settled at Kwakina, where the Brotherhood of Fire (Makekwe) 

 had its place of ancient origin in wondrous wise — told of by themselves — 

 and where originated their great dance drama of the Mountain Sheep, 

 and the power of entrance into fire, aTid even of contention with sorcery 

 itself. 



And at each place in which the people stopped, building greatly, they 

 learned or did some of the things for which those who be custodians 

 of onr olden customs amongst the Tik'yaiipapakwe (Sacred Brother- 

 hoods) are still marvelous in their knowledge and practice. But 

 after our father ancients had builded in Kwakina, lo! when the world 

 rumbled and the shells sounded, the noise thereof was not great, and 

 therefore no longer did they arise as a whole people, for seeking yet 

 still the Middle, but always many abode longer, some living through 

 the daugers which followed, and becoming the fiithers of " Those who 

 dwell round about the Middle." Still, for long the wartiings sounded 

 and the leaders would be summoning the people to seek the " very mid- 

 most place wherein the tabernacle of the sacred seed-contents might be 

 placed at rest safely for all time, and where might dwell in peace those 

 who kept it." 



THE SETTLEMENT OF ZUNI-LAND, AND THE BUILDING OF THE 

 SEVEN GREAT TOWNS THEREIN. 



It was in this way that first after Kwakina, Hawikuh was built, and 

 thereafter, round about Zuili, each (at first lesser because of the people 

 lelt behind each time) of all the others of the six towns of all the regious 

 the Midmost (Shiwina 'Hluella tHapna). 



First, then, Kwiikiua, then H4wikuh, K'yiVnawe, Hampasawan, 

 K'yiikime and MAtsaki. And in what manner the people dwelt in 

 each of these, how they talked and consorted wondrously with beasts 

 and gods alike is told in the telapnmve (tales of the olden time pass- 

 ing) of our ancients, alike in the "lies of the grandfathers" and in the 

 "strands" of their solemn sayings. But always, at each jjlace, were
