FEWKE8] ANCIENT CLAN MASKS 111 



OLD MASK (hONAU CLAN) 

 (Plate XLVIII) 



The ancient mask of the Honau or Bear clan is called Kotka's 

 katc'ina, and is in the keeping of this chief. The Bear people were the 

 first to arrive at Walpi, and their last village before they came there 

 was situated at Tiirkinobi, on the mesa above Sikyatki, where the 

 ruins of their old home are still pointed out. Kotka belongs to the 

 Spider (Kokj-an) clan of the Honau phratry, and is not only chief but 

 also the sole remaining male member of this ancient Hop! family. 



The similarity of the mask to other old heln:ets is striking. The 

 edge of the face is surrounded by plaited corn husks in which are 

 inserted eagle tail feathers forming the crest. The red marks 

 represent red horsehair. The two horns are commonly found with 

 Wtiwiikoti masks, and the beard is not an uncommon feature. The 

 red object protruding from the mouth represents a tongue. 



POHAHA (tE CLAX) 



(Plate XLVIII 1 



This picture represents a katcina called Pohaha by the Tewas, 

 Nahicala h\ the Hopis, the mask of which is owned by Wehe, a mem- 

 ber of the Te clan. The propriety of the name Nalucala (four horns) 

 appears from the picture. The face is divided as in other sun masks, 

 and there is a hideous mouth and beard. In the right hand the figure 

 carries a whizzer or bull-roarer, and in the left a bow and arrows. It 

 wears a bandoleer on the shoulder, over which is thrown a buckskin. 



The leggings remind one of those worn by the eastern or Plains 

 Indians, with whom the Tewas were formerly connected. This is 

 undoubtedly one of the katcinas which the Tewa colonists brought to 

 the East mesa in early times. 



HOPINTtj (iSAUf clan) 

 (Plate XLVIII) 



This picture represents an ancient personage of the Isauu (Coyote) 

 clan, and is commonly known as Lesu's katcina, from the fact that 

 the mask used in jwrsonatiug it is in the keeping of this man, who is 

 the clan chief. 



The face is divided by a median vertical line into two fields, one 

 colored white, the other green. The lower part of the face, separated 

 from the upper by a horizontal line, is colored red, and there is a 

 long, pointed snout. Both sides of the face are covered with small 

 crosses or stars.
