All the gentes on the Tsi[c]u side use the “fire paint” or i[k]ama^n, which is red. It is applied by them with the left hand all over the face. And they use prayers about the fire: “As the fire has no mercy, so should we have none.” Then they put mud on the cheek below the left eye, as wide as two or more fingers. On the Hañ[k]a side this mud is put on the cheek, below the right eye. It is the young buffalo bull decoration (Tse-[t]ú-[c]iñ´[k]a kínŭ^n itáa[p]i aú). With reference to it, a man says, “My little grandfather (the young buffalo bull) is ever dangerous, as he makes attempts. Very close do I stand, ready to go to the attack” (Witsí[k]u [c]iñ´[k]a wáckŭ^n nŭ^n´pewá¢ĕ ehnu^n[p]i aú. Ecŭ^nqtsita wa[k]a^n´¢a [p]¢é atqa^n´hi aú!) The horse is painted with some of the mud on the left cheek, shoulder, and thigh. For the corresponding Hanka decorations, substitute _the right_ for _the left_ wherever the latter word occurs above. Some who act like a black bear paint with charcoal alone. Some paint in the wind style, some in the lightning style, and others in the panther or puma style. See also pages 85 and 162. When a Thlinkit arms himself for war he paints his face and powders his hair a brilliant red. He then ornaments his head with white eagle-feathers, a token of stern vindictive determination. See Bancroft, Native Races, etc., I, page 105. Blue signifies peace among the Indians of the Pueblo of Tesuque. See Schoolcraft, III, 306. In several addresses before the Anthropological Society of Washington, D. C., and papers yet unpublished, in the possession of the Bureau of Ethnology, by Mr. James Stevenson, Dr. Washington Matthews, U. S. Army, and Mr. Thomas V. Keam, the tribes below are mentioned as using in their ceremonial dances the respective colors designated to represent the four cardinal points of the compass, viz.: N. S. E. W. Stevenson--Zuñi Yellow. Red. White. Black. Matthews--Navajo Black. Blue. White. Yellow. Keam--Moki White. Red. Yellow. Blue. Capt. John G. Bourke, U. S. Army, in the Snake Dance of the Moquis of Arizona, etc., New York, 1884, p. 120, says that the Moki employ the following colors: yellow in prayers for pumpkins, green for corn, and red for peaches. Black and white bands are typical of rain, while red and blue bands are typical of lightning. The Central Californians (north of San Francisco Bay) formerly wore the down of Asclepias(?) (white) as an emblem of royalty. See Bancroft, Native Races, I, 387, 388, quoting Drake’s World Encomp. pp. 124-126. The natives of Guatemala wore red feathers in their hats, the nobles only wearing green ones. _Ibid_, p. 691. See with reference to the Haidas, Mr. J. G. Swan’s account, page 66, _infra_. The following extract relative to the color red among the New Zealanders is from Taylor’s Te Ika a Maui, etc., pp. 209-210.
