this ceremonial these men assemble;
one of them enters the house and, greeting the mother of the boy with
"Good morning," inquires the name of her son. She replies: "He has no
name," and requests the K[=o]-y[=e]-m[=e]-shi to give him one. The
man then joins the group, repeating the words of the woman. In passing
from the kiva through the village the Indian screens his face with
a blanket, so as not to see the women as he passes. On the fifth
day they go on a rabbit hunt, the capture of but one rabbit being
necessary. The rabbit is carried to the He-i-i-que (or Kiva of the
North) by the [t]S[=i]-[t]S[=i] [t]ki, who, after skinning the
rabbit, fills the skin with cedar bark; a pinch of meal is placed for
the heart and the eye sockets are filled with mica; a hollow reed
is passed through the inside filling to the mouth. The sixth day
the inmates of the kivas again go for wood; the seventh day large
T[=e]-l[=i]k-tk[=i]-n[=a]-we are made of eagle plumes; the eighth day
is consumed in decorating the masks to be worn. As these people have
not the art of mixing their pigments so as to be permanent, masks and
altars have to be freshly decorated before using; and, when the masks
are completely decorated, they, with the other paraphernalia, are
carried on the same day by the men and youths who have to wear them to
some secluded nooks among the rocks, a distance from the town, where
they put them on, returning to the village by early moonlight.

The impressive ceremonial of initiating the youth into the order
of the K[=o]k-k[=o] occurs but once in four years. No male child
above the age of four years may, after death, enter the Kiva of
the K[=o]k-k[=o] unless he has received the sacred breath of the
K[=o]k-k[=o]. Those who personate the K[=o]k-k[=o] are endowed for the
time being with their actual breath. Besides the Sae-lae-m[=o]-b[=i]-ya
of the North, West, South, East, Heavens, and Earth, and a
number of younger brothers who appear on this occasion, there
are P[=a]-oo-t[=i]-wa (Plate XX), father of the Sun, ten
K[=o]-y[=e]-m[=e]-shi, and the K[=o]-l[=o]-oo-w[)i]t-si.

The Sae-lae-m[=o]-b[=i]-ya of the North wear yellow (hl[=u]p-si-na)
masks; those from the West, blue (hli-aen-na); those from the South,
red (shi-l[=o]-[=a]); those from the East, white (k[=o]-h[=a]n); those
from the Heavens, all colors ([=I]-t[=o]-p[=o]-naen-ni); those from
the Earth, black (quin-n[=a]). (Plate XXI.) These colors represent the
cardinal points, t
