Elaborate Festitals 



Some of the elaborate festivals involve nine days' active work, 

 others live. In years when the New-fire ceremony is brief, other nine- 

 day ceremonies are abbreviated to five, and five-day ceremonies are 

 shortened to one. A list of the festivals of the latter class is given 

 below, under Abbreviated Festivals. 



Among elaborate festivals with a nine-day duration may be men- 

 tioned the following: 



Naacnaiya. Leleflti (Lenpaki). 



Soyaluna. Lalakoiiti. 



Powamu. Mamzrauti (Maraupaki). 



Niuian. Owakiilti. 



Tctiatikibi (Tciiapaki")- 



With the exception of Powamu and Niman the above festivals have 

 two additional ceremonial days called the smoke talk and the public 

 announcement days. The ceremonial days of these elaborate festivals 

 are called: 



First ila}': Tcotcoyunya. Fourteenth day: Yufiya. 



Second day: Tiyuna. Fifteenth day: Cuskahimu. 



Tenth day: Yufiya. Sixteenth day: Komoktotokya. 



Eleventh day: Custala. Seventeenth day: Totokya. 



Twelfth day: Luctala. Eighteenth day: Tihiini. 

 Thirteenth day: Nahictala. 



The days betv?een the announcement (second day) ;uid Yufiya (tenth 

 dav) are generally seven in luimber, but may be less. The nine active 

 days begin on the first Yufiya and end on Tihiini, the public dance day, 

 which is followed by three or four days of purification. Practically 

 each of these ceremonies takes twenty days fi'om the smoke talk 

 (Tcotcoyunya) to the final day of purificjition.
