The altars or fetishes in the five Walpi kivas are as follows :
The altar described in a former publication l is the most elab- borate of all the Winter Solstice fetishes at Walpi, and belongs to the Patki and related clans.
The Asa family in the Wikwaliobikiva had no altar, but the following fetishes : (i) An ancient mask resembling that of Na- tacka and called tcakwaina? attached to which is a wooden crook and a rattle ; (2) an ancient bandoleer (tozriki) ; and (3) several stone images of animals. The shield which the Asa carried before the Mohkiva altar had a star painted upon it.
The Kokop and Tciia families, in the Nacadkiva, had no altar, but on the floor of the kiva there was a stone image which was said to have come from the ancient pueblo of Sikyatki, a former village of the Kokop people.
There was no altar in the Alkiva, but the Ala (Horn) clan which met there had a stone image of Puukofihoya, and on the shield which they used in the Moiikiva there was a picture of Alosaka.
The Pakab* (Reed or Arrow) people had an altar in the Tcivatokiva where Pautiwa presided with the tiponi or palladium of that family.
��1 The Winter Solstice Ceremony at Walpi, op. cit.
' The Asa people are also called the Tcakwaina clans. The ruins of their old village, near the western point of Awatobi mesa, are called Tcakwaina-ki. Its walls do not appear above the surface.
- The particular ceremony of the Pakab peoples is the Momtcita, a single day's rite
which occurs just after the Soyaluna, under direction of Pautiwa. Connected with this ceremony are the performances of the *' stick swallowers " or Nocoto priests who were thought to be extinct at Walpi, but Eewa is chief of the Nocotana priests, and the society includes Wikyatiwa, Talahoya, Sikyaventima, and others. They still practice stick-swallowing. Pautiwa is chief of the Kalektaka % a warrior priesthood. He be- longs to the Eagle clan of the Pakab phratry, which may be related to the Awata or Bow clan of the former pueblo of Awatobi.
