ERIO—SAN RAFAEL—CHOKUYEN. 195 
In their autumnal games, which continue as long as the provisions they 
have brought hold out, they have the spear dance, the dance of seven devils, 
the black-bear dance, ete. The dance of seven devils is like the devil dance 
of the Gualala, only there are seven devils instead of one, and they are more 
devilish, having horns on their heads, forked tails, and the like. In the 
black-bear dance they dress a man in a black bearskin and dance around 
him with hideous noise, being naked, but zebra-painted with black, and 
wearing coronals of long feathers. Possibly this may be an act of fetichism, 
performed, as the Indians cautiously say of all such doings, “ for luck”; 
because nearly all tribes regard the black bear in distinction from the griz- 
zly as peculiarly of happy omen. 
THE SAN RAFAEL INDIANS. 
Under this name the Spaniards collected at the San Rafael Mission 
most of the Indians of the peninsula who spoke a different language from 
the Gallinomero. Among them were the Té-mal from whom Mount 'Tamal- 
pais is named, and the Li-kat’-u-it, whose last great chief was Ma-rin’. Havy- 
ing lost most of their aboriginal usages they are not of interest here. 
THE CHO-KU-YEN. 
The same is true of this tribe, who occupied Sonoma Valley, which 
was named from one of their celebrated chiefs.
