C~?'emo?nes.–"They dance this in the fall before Ca'lako. This is not a kiva, dance. The kiva chiefs'have nothing to do with it. The young boys who want to dance get together and dance Pakoko without prayers. The song is very hard to sing, it is very high and only the young men with good voices can do it. They always have three groups and they take turns dancing, because the song is so hard to sing that they get tired quickly. Any young man who wants to and is a good singer will be the leader. Each group has its leader, and it is called by his ceremonial affiliation. The ne'we'kwe always come out for this dance. During the night the women bring food for the dancers and for the spectators. The Pakoko bring a whole sheep or a side of beef and give it to the ne'we'kwe to roast in the tire in the plaza. In the morning when the sun cornes up they start their last song. They always go out to the north. Yebitcai leads and after him corne the rest of the line, two by twp, one man and one woman. Another dancer, dressed diSerently, comes at the end and waves his arms as if driving the others before him."
Folklore.-Long ago the people were suffering from a siclmess of swellings.~ At that time the Navaho had nothing to eat. Theycame here to buy corn and paper bread and other things to eat. The Navaho thought the Zuni people were very kind because they gave them food in spite of the fact that they had just had a war and the Navaho had been cruel. While the Navaho were here the people were in great trouble on account of the sickness. There was one man who spoke Navaho very well and he told the Navaho what kind of sickness they were having. Then the Navaho said, "We have something to cure that kind of sickness. We have had trouble with that too, and we know all about it. We have a katcina who can cure swellings." So the Itiwana man and the Navaho decided that they should come and dance for the Itiwana people to cure the sickness of swellings. Then the Itiwana man took the Navaho to the katcina chief. They came in and the man said, "My father, I have brought this man to you. We have had much sickness and all our people are unhappy because of it. This man says he feels sorry for us because we have been kind to his people. They have treated us badly and have made war on us, but now they have corne here to buy paper bread and corn and we have been kind to them. So they want to help us to cure this sickness. That is why I have brought this man here to ask you if you want them to corne and dance for us. They say their dance cures. 23 Probably mumps.
