TroTCOYrxYA, Smokk Assembly. 
The opening event of the new fire ceremonies took place five 
days before their formal assembly, and was called the smoke 
assembly. This smoke talk occurred on November 8, 1898, at 
about new moon. 
The following persons were present at this gathering : — 
Hani, Tataukyamfi ; momoi^ chief. 
,Tr- 4. ' y AaltH ; momnovntii (pi. momoi). 
Wmuta, ) ' ^^ ' 
Stinoitiwa, Wutcutcimtil ; momci. 
Anawita, I^waktcant'd; monwi. 
The smoke assembly met at the home of the mother of the 
chief ■^ of the WawutcimtH,, and each of the above mentioned 
chiefs spun a short cotton string with a feather attached to the 
end. Hani spun longer strings also with feathers attached to the 
extremity. 
Stinoitiwa was a most important personage in tlie Mainzrauti, 
and his part in that kindred rite may be seen in my article upon 
it {op. C'it., p. 228, 287, etc.). 
The following list gives the families and totems of the chiefs : — 
Hani, Tobacco people ; totem, tobacco plant. 
Tuwasmi, Reed i)eople ; totem, reed, Phragmites communis. 
Winuta, Reed people ; totem, reed, Phragmites communis. 
Stinoitiwa, Tcakicaina people ; totem, head of Tcakwaina. 
Anawita, Water house people ; totem, rain cloud, and corn 
plant. 
1 1 have in my acx-ount of the ruin of Awatobi ( Anier. anth., Oct., 1893) inrtieated 
that the Mamzrauti originally came to Walpi from that place. The Patuna (Squash) 
people are also said to have lived in the same place with the Tublc (Sorrow), Atoko 
^C^ane), and Kele people all of whom are now extinct in Walpi. The Patuna brought 
the fetishes of the Wliwiltcimtu to Walpi. but there is some doubt to what phratry 
this people belonged ; some say to the Snake, others to an extinct group. 
2 This is a universal custom in the smoke talks when the times of the great 
ceremonials are agreed upon. The meeting place is at the home of the mother of 
the most important chief. The exact date is of course determined by observations 
of the sun on the horizon, as I have elsewhere explained.
