 SUMAIKOLI AND VATA 



(Plate XXXIV) 



This pictui'e represents a Sumaikoli led by a Yaya priest,' as they 

 appear in two festivals each year, one in the spring, the other in 

 summer. New tire is kindled by frictional methods in the former 

 and is carried by means of a cedar-bark torch to shrines of the 

 fire god at the four cardinal points. In abbreviated presentations 

 the masks are left in the kiva, where they are arranged in a row with 

 that of Kawikoli, and the men who carry the fire are unmasked and 

 not accompanied by a Yaya priest. The Sumaikoli are supposed to 

 be blind, and eyes in the masks are mere pin holes, so that when 

 they are worn a guide is necessary. 



There are six masks of Sumaikoli and one of Kawikoli in Walpi and 

 Jlano which differ slightly in colors and symbolism, but the accom- 

 panying figure gives a fair idea of one of the Sumaikolis. 



It will be noted that the figure wears the same embroidered sash 

 on the head that is seen in the picture of Masanu, and that the 

 appendages to the leggings are the same shell tinklers which are pre- 

 scribed for sun gods. 



KAM'IKOLI 

 (Plate XXXV) 



The picture of Kawikoli represents a being with a globular mask 

 painted black, having two white marks on each cheek. A bundle of 

 feathered strings is tied to each side, and the skin of a mountain 

 lion surrounds the neck. The chin has red and green curved bands 

 inclosing a white area. The iigure is represented as carrying fire in a 

 cedar-bark toivh from one shiine to another, accompanied by a Yaya 

 priest, who has a rattle in his right hand and an unknown object in 

 the left. The kilt is tied behind and has draperies of colored yarn. 



The mask of Kawikoli is displayed with those of Suraaikoli in the 

 festivals of these personages. Kawikoli is also personated at Zuui, 

 from which pueblo the name was probably derived. 



CIWIKOLI 



(Plate XXXV) 



The picture of Ciwikoli represents a being with mask painted 

 brownish red. having two parallel white lines on each cheek. There 

 are tadpole figures on the sides of the mask and a fan-shaped feather 

 appendage to the top of the head.
