FEWKES] KATCINAS APPKARING IN POWAMU 73 



Xatacka Mana 



The sister of the Natackas, called also Xatacka maua and Soyok 

 mana," accompanies her brothers on their begginu- trip through the 

 pueblos of the East mesa. Her picture represents a person with black 

 mask and white chin, and with hair arranged in two whorls over the 

 ears, as is customary with maidens. She has round, green e\'es, a 

 square mouth with red teeth, and a beard. On her back she carries a 

 basket suspended b}- a band which pa.sses across her forehead. In 

 this basket she collects the meat and bread which the Natackas obtain 

 from the different households. Her clothing is a woman's l)lanket, 

 over which is thrown a buckskin, and she carries in one hand a large 

 knife. 



(Plate XI) 



Hehea katcina, like many others, may be personated without kilt 

 or in complete dress. In the former case a sheepskin replacing an 

 old-time buffalo skin is hung over the shoulder and phallic emblems 

 are painted on arms, legs, and body. The mask is dec(jrated with the 

 zigzag marking on each cheek. In this form Hehea appears in 

 certain kiva exercises at the ceremonial grinding of meal by the Ai5a 

 katcina manas. We also find him associated with the Corn maids and 

 with the Natackas. The phallic symbols are depicted on the bodies 

 of the Wiiwiitcimtu and Tataukyamu in the New-fire ceremony, and 

 there are other evidences which associate the former with Hehea. 



A picture of this form of Hehea was drawn, but has not l)een repro- 

 duced. It represents a large and small Hehea, each with character- 

 istic zigzag symbols on the face and with oblique eves and mouth. 

 Both have phallic symbols on body and limbs, and wear artificial 

 flowers on their heads.'-' 



The body has a sheepskin covering stained black and leggings of 

 same material, which have replaced buffalo skins formerly used for 

 the .same purpose. Each carries a lariat, the use of which is 

 explained in the account of the visits of the Natackas on their begging 

 trips to different houses. 



Another picture of Hehea, which also represents a primitive con- 

 ception of this personage, has a kilt and the elaborate dress in which he 

 sometimes appears in ceremonial public dances. It is reproduced in 

 plate XI.

''Compare this artificial flower with that of the Wiiwiitcimtu society. The meml>er.-* of lx»th 

 this society and the Talaukyamii have similar phallic symbols painted on body and limbs. For a pic- 

 ture of the doll, see Internationales Archiv fiir Ethnographie, Band vii, pis. vn, vin, figs. 16, IS.
