lli'hcu is ovidciitly an am-iont kiitciiui." and from his appoariuico in 

 many piiniitive ceremonies, public and ^secret, we may regard him as 

 connected with a very old ritual. 



The ATiiwi'itcinitu priests in the New-fire celebration at Walpi often 

 deccji'ate their faces (masks are not used in this rite) with the symbols 

 of Hehea, and he is intimately associated with Corn maids (Palahiko 

 niana) '' of the Mamzrau festival. 



HEHEA MAN A 



(Plate XII 



The Hehea mana. sister of Hehea. accompanies the Natacka ufi'oup 

 in Powamu. She is represented by the artist with the character- 

 istic coifl'ure of a maiden, and has the same zigzag facial lines as her 

 brother. On her arms are the same phallic symbols, and in her hand 

 she carries a lariat. 



If any one refuses to grant the re(|iiests of th(> Natackas for meat 

 or food. l)()th she and her brother try to lasso tiie delinquent. 



(I'late XI I 



This figure represents a warrior maid who sometimes appears in 

 Powamu. There is such a close resemblance between her and Tcak- 

 waina mana (see page 6-3) that they would seem to be identical person- 

 ages. The reason for her unfinished coitt'ure is given in the account 

 of the Tcakwaina maid. 



AWATOBI SOYOIv TAKA 



(I'Uitf XII 1 



The massacre at Awatobi took place just two centuries ago, but 

 there are several katcinas surviving in Walpi which arc said to have 

 been derived fi-om that pueblo. Among these may be mentioned two 

 bogies called Soyok taka and Soyok mana, male and female monsters. 

 These are occasionally personated at Walpi, and, as their names imply, 

 originally came from Awatobi. Soyok taka corresponds with Natacka, 

 and prol)al)ly lioth originally came to Tusayan from eastern pueblos. 



Soyok taka wears a mask without distinct symbolism, and has a 

 protu})erant snout, with teeth made of corn husks. He has goggle 

 eyes and hair hanging down over his face. His garment is a rabbit- 

 skin rug, and, like Natacka, he carries a .saw.'' On his back hangs a 

 basket containing a child whom he has captured. 



" Perhaps derived from Awatobi.
