like a man," called k'oata~ (Fig. 7), of which it was said that "perhaps they brought it up with them." I take it that the k'oata is an antique war club. Kumpa or kabew'iride is also in possession of one. (See pp. 259,301,331.) In the keeping of the town chiefis a stone kick-ball (w1v) which in time of war, against whites or Mexicans, not against Indians, would be used to send lightning and thunder against the enemy.~ In connection with the kick-bail was mentioned a stone whistle (tup) to call the rain. A lightning stone (upini), described as an opalescent stone from water, figures in the solstice ceremonies; also a stone called leachi tainin, rain people, described as a spiral-shaped stone about 4 inches long. AU the stone
fetishes figuring in the solstice ceremonies are referred to collectively as wahtainin,~ ail the people. A very notable, and as far as I know unique, fetish at Isleta appears in the sun calling or "pulling do~vn" ritual. The object is described in vague terms as opening and closing and, presumably when open, glittering with the white brilliance of the sun. It is thought of as the sun himself, with power of flight. Presumably
there is a like fetish of the moon." Inferably (see p. 302) there is a fetish of the e homed serpent, ikaina, of the animal masktypefoundinotherpueblos. The cane of the war chief which is called tue'funiluli, cane prayer stick black old man, is "the one that came out with them." It is the "father" of the war chief. As elsewhere, the canes of the govemor and officers have also somewhat of a fetishistic character. In this connection may be mentioned the clay figurines of the domestic animais and of chili, corn, and melons, which are made by the women, and on the morning of December 29 taken by thé senior mâle of the household and buried in the corral, "so there will be more of them," that the household may be "never short." ALTAR
Of the medicine societies the altar (nake'e) consists of the terrace cloud design in white meal at the base of which are set in clay the Mothers.~ (Figs. 16 and 17.) This design is called kitu, meaning <' The oniy etymology my informant could suggest was koa, sheep (but koa also means rabbit stick), ta, "ail right," but this, he insisted, no doubt quite properly, was not the right etymology. See p. 368. In the tale the kick stick is also thrown to help the snn's daily progress. Compare Parsons, 7:60.
See p. 330.
Compare Parsons, 6; Parsons, 3: 260; also Gmening, illustration opposite p. 249.
Compare the altar of the pekwin of Zuni (Parsons 14: 17) and see p. 331. According to another informant there are painted wooden frames on the altars of the medicine societies, as at Laguna and Znni. (Parsons 7: 60.)
