The men who personated these- being-.s jrathcrerl about 4 j). ni. at 

 a house of the Badger ehm on the Zuiii trail, far out on the plain — 

 and there dressed, putting on their masks and other paraphernalia. 

 They then marched in procession to the Sun spring (Tawapa), where 

 they were joined b}' Walpi men, who caule from the Mofi and Nacab 

 kivas. Those from the Mofi kiva represented Heliliilii. Kwahu 

 (Eagle). Kwayo (Hawk), Macikwayo (Dral) Hawk), Pawik (Duck), and 

 many mudheads or clowns; those from the Nacab kiva contributed 

 several personations of Tcakwainas. The procession, enlarged by 

 these additions, re-formed and continued on up the mesa, under lead 

 of the sun god pei'sonation, Pautiwa, past the Rabbit-ear shrine 

 (Sowinakabu) to the Sun shrine, on the east edge of the mesa, mid- 

 way between Walpi and Sichumovi. On their arrival there they 

 re-foi'med in platoons and continued on to the latter pueblo. 



The procession entered the pueblo about sunset, presenting a most 

 barbaric appearance in the rays of light from the western sky. The 

 numerous masked men walked in platoons, wearing painted helmets, 

 those representing birds prancing backward and forward, raising their 

 arms, to which feathers were attached to imitate wings; there were 

 also platoons of men with painted bodies, wearing horned knobbed 

 helmets closely fitting their heads, singing songs and shaking rattles. 

 Prominent among all was a naked boy, painted from head to foot 

 with spots of different colors. He was cjiUed Tcolawitze and carried 

 in his hand a cedar-bark torch, one end glowing with fire. The most 

 startling figure was perhaps that representing the Humis katcina, 

 or rather the Zuiii supernatural of this name. He was accompanied 

 by a relative, called their uncle (taamu), and two others known as the 

 Avatc hoya or Little Spotted Ones. These danced together with a full 

 chorus on the following day in the plaza of the pueblo. 



There was al.so on this day a dance in which more than twenty men, 

 personating the Duck or Pawik katcinas. appeared in line in the same 

 plaza. The procession entered Sichumovi back of Anawita's house, 

 continuing along the row of houses on the east side, toward llano. 

 Turning westward at the north end of the row it passed into the plaza 

 of the pueblo, where it divided into four groups, each of which sought 

 one of the houses of the four chif^f clans. stM)n to }>e mentioned, where 

 receptions had been prepared. 



At intervals along the route of their march through the pueblo six 

 temporary .shrines had been erected, consisting of a few upright stones 

 inclosing a prayer-stick. Connecting these shrines a line of sacred meal
