[Footnote 43: Sometimes called Nuesaki, a corruption of "Missa ki," Mass House, Mission. One of the beams of the old mission at Nuesaki or Kisakobi is in the roof of Pauwatiwa's house in the highest range of rooms of Walpi. This beam is nicely squared, and bears marks indicative of carving. There are also large planks in one of the kivas which were also probably from the church building, although no one has stated that they are. Pauwatiwa, however, declares that a legend has been handed down in his family that the above-mentioned rafter came from the mission.] [Footnote 44: Proceedings of the Boston Society of Natural History, January 2, 1895, p. 441.] [Footnote 45: Thus in Castaneda's account we are told: "Farther off [near Cia?] was another large village where we found in the courtyards a great number of stone balls of the size of a leather bag, containing one arroba. They seem to have been cast with the aid of machines, and to have been employed in the destruction of the village." It is needless for me to say that I find no knowledge of such a machine in Tusayan!] [Footnote 46: The ceremonials attending to burial of the eagle, whose plumes are used in secret rites, have never been described, and nothing is known of the rites about the Eagle shrine at Tukinobi.] [Footnote 47: Recent Archeologic Find in Arizona, _American Anthropologist_, Washington, July, 1893.] [Footnote 48: For a previous description see the Preliminary Account, Smithsonian Report for 1895; also "Awatobi: An Archeological Verification of a Tusayan Legend," _American Anthropologist_, Washington, October, 1893.] [Footnote 49: This important ceremony celebrates the departure from the pueblos of ancestral gods called _katcinas_, and is one of the most popular in the ritual.] [Footnote 50: Pacheco-Cardenas, Colleccion de Documentos Ineditos, XV, 122, 182.] [Footnote 51: Voyages, III, pp. 463, 470, 1600; reprint 1810.] [Footnote 52: Pacheco-Cardenas, Documentos Ineditos, op. cit., XVI, 139.] [Footnote 53: Menologio Franciscano, 275; Teatro Mexicano, III, 321.] [Footnote 54: San Bernardino de Ahuatobi (Vetancurt, 1680); San Bernardo de Aguatuvi (Vargas, 1692). I find that the mission at Walpi was also mentioned by Vargas as dedicated to San Bernardino. The church at Oraibi was San Francisco de Oraybe and San Miguel. The mission at Shunopovi was called San Bartolome, San Bernardo, and San Bernabe.] [Footnote 55: This article
