They wear masks which have nose, eyebrows, and nK)uth repre-

PASKI 



(Plate LIIII 



These pictures of Paski represent a planting katcina. An examina- 

 tion of the masks shows one with red and green parallel lines on the 

 cheeks, the other with a broad I'ed liand. One has the hair done up 

 in a queue behind; the other has it hanging down the l)ack. Both 

 wear black belts on their loins and have white kilts thrown over the 

 shoulders in a peculiar \\ay. They are represented as using modern 

 hoes." 



Nakopan P?:rsonages 



(Plate IJV) 



A shoi't distance from the ruin of Sikyatki there is a cave in the 

 side of the mesa concerning which there is a well-known tradition 

 preserved to our time. It seems that when Sikyatki was in its prime 

 two children left their home and lived in this cave hidden from their 

 mother. Their hiding place, at first unknown to their parent, was 

 afterward discovered, and their mother daih' bi'ought them food and 

 laid it on the rocks above the cave. The children used to go to this 

 place to obtain the food, and a pictograph still visible there marks the 

 place where they sat. 



The authoi' was anxious to get a picture of the Nakopan hoya, or 

 the Nakopan children, as the}' are called, and this plate drawn by a 

 Hopi named Winuta is the result. The following personages are 

 depicted in the picture: 



ff, Telavai or Dawn katcina; J, Hahai wuqti: r. Manu. maid; d, 

 Paiak\'amu; e, Hehea katcina; /", Anya katcina; ;/. Tatciikti. 



On account of the illicit love of Hahai wi'iqti and Paiakyamu, 

 who are represented arm in arm. Telavai. her husband, sought the 

 maid, whose arms he grasps. Hehea, Aiij-a, and possibly Tatciikti, 

 the children, fled from Sikj-atki and lived in a neighboring cave. 



This picture, so far as the evidence goes, supports the belief that 

 the Sikyatki people were familiar with the katcina cult; and it is 

 instructive to notice that it portrays some of the most ancient katcina.s 

 of the Hopis. 



<" In old times a planting stick was employed.
