exogamous, or in other words they are “incest groups.”’ 
It would be perhaps impossible for such large groups to 
exist and function without a name by which they can be 
distinguished or designated. Notwithstanding that 
the villages are numerous and widely scattered, and 
that four distinct languages are spoken in them the 
names associated with these clans are in meaning the 
same or atleast similar. According to Professor Kroeber 
the names and associations are as follows: 
1. a, Rattlesnake, 6, Panther; 2. a, Deer, b, 
Antelope; 3. a, Squash, b, Crane; 4. a, Cloud, ), 
Corn; 5. a, Lizard, b, Earth; 6. a, Rabbit, b, Tobacco; 
7. a, Tansy Mustard, b, Chaparral Cock; 8. Kachina, 
a, Raven, 6, Macaw, c, Pine, d, Cottonwood; 9. a, 
Firewood, b, Coyote; 10. a, Arrow, b, Sun, c, Eagle, 
d, Turkey; 11. a, Badger, b, Bear; 12. a, Turquoise, 
b, Shell Coral. 
While these precise designations do not occur in 
every instance they are clearly representative of the 
general meaning of the clan names. 
It will be noticed that these clans are grouped, 
usually in pairs. This grouping is more than merely 
formal since a definite degree of relationship is felt to 
bind together the members of one of the pair to the 
members of the other. This is in some instances so 
strong that the pair have become one exogamous group 
and no intermarriage takes place. This is true among 
the Hopi of the Kachina and Parrot clans. In the vil- 
lages on the Rio Grande the clans are grouped into two 
divisions or moieties known as the winter people and the 
summer people. This separation of the people and the 
year into two divisions plays a prominent part in social 
games, in political matters, and in the ceremonies. 
These clans seem to serve two functions in the com- 
munity. In the first place they are similar to families,
