little correspondence in the individual masks.

to represent the sky, and the white spots are the stars. On the back
of his head is painted a large butterfly. Over each ear he wears a
squash blossom. On the head yellow parrot feathers, and at the back
standing upright parrot tail feathers with downy feathers and small
parrot feathers, spruce collar, the twigs tipped with popcorn to repre-
sent stars. He is a sky katcina.
His body paint is red paint mixed with pink clay. The arms and
legs are yellow. He wears arm bands of blue buckskin with scallops
and fringes of red buckskin. White cotton kilt with blue band, em-
broidered sash and red woman's belt. Fox skin. Blue moccasins s
with yam on both legs. He carries yamuwo in both hands, "because
he is the sky." On the yamuwe are turkey feathers and feathers of
ail the little birds.
He is thé leader of the mixed dance. He used to come with Tcak-
wena, but now he comes with the mixed dance as their solo dancer
and gives the calls for them. He comes with the mixed dance that
uses thé drum.
Myth.-Long ago, Hainawi and Homatci and Temtemci and some
other katcina village people used to come in to dance at Itiwana.
Then other people came from outside, like Salt woman and Deer kat-
cina and Bear katcina, and Pautiwa always sent them in to dance
with thé mixed dance. Now the mixed dance had no drum, and some
of them wanted to have a buckskin bundle and to dance like
Tcakwena.9
Now they were getting ready to go to Itiwana and Pautiwa said,
"AU these outside people have come and joined us. Is everyone
here?" Then they thought of a,U the directions. The bear bad come
from the east and the white bear had come from the south and tbe
wild goat had come from the north, and there were coyote and deer
and all different animals from all the directions. Then Pautiwa
asked again, "Is everyone hère?" The stars and the clouds from ail
different directions were there, and the only one that was missing was
The buckskin bundle is called teseanane. It is made by bundling different kinds of clothing and cloth
of all kinds in a buckskm, wrapping it very tight and tying it with rawhide thongs. The bundle is very
hard and resounds when stmck.
