[25] The horned _katcina_ is supposed to be either the Sun or other solar deity. The term katcina is often used in a very general way to mean any divine personage, but at Walpi this is believed to be a secondary use of the name. Originally it was applied to certain personifications introduced by clans from the east, and later came to have a general application. [26] Throughout the legend these are called the Micoñinovi people, but from the fact that the original settlers of the pueblo were of the Squash clans, the name of these clans is substituted in the remainder of the legend for the name of the pueblo which they founded. [27] That is, to the Sun, their father. [28] There is here such marked contradiction of other legends that this account must not be accepted as final. Probably Awatobi, and possibly other pueblos on the same mesa, had _Patuñ_ clans in their populations. [29] These are the two images found at Awatobi which this account considers in the opening pages, and the principal reason why the people from the Middle Mesa were so solicitous concerning them is shown in the closing paragraphs of the legend above quoted. [30] The Squash clan is extinct at Walpi. [31] In the horrible rites of the Aztec at their midsummer ceremony, Hueytecuilhuitl, a girl personating the Corn-mother, was sacrificed before the hideous idol of Chicomehuatl and her heart offered to the image. In the dances preceding her death this unfortunate girl wore on her head an _amalli_ or “pasteboard” miter, surrounded by waving plumes, and her face was painted yellow and red, symbolic of the colors of corn. She was called _Xalaquia_ (pronounced _Shalakia_). The Hopi Corn-maid, represented by a girl with a rain-cloud tablet on her head and a symbol of an ear of corn on her forehead, is called _Calako-mana_ (pronounced _Shalako-mana_). [32] The kiva rites are complicated at Walpi by the visits of these personifications from the two neighboring pueblos. [33] It is much to be hoped that the very elaborate _Powamû_ of Oraibi will be accurately described in detail. The indications are that it will be found to be the most instructive of all presentations of this ceremony. [34] Sikyatki was probably a flourishing pueblo when the Snake people first settled Walpi. The tutelary god was _Eototo_, or _Masauuh_, whom the early Walpians overthrew and who gave them the site for their pueblo. At the destruction of Sikyatki by the combined Horn-Snake and Horn-Flute people, some of the survivors settled at Walpi, and their descendants are intimately connected with the _Eototo_ cult which is incorporated in the _katcinas_. In the celebration of the Snake-Antelope ceremony he is known by the name of _Masauuh_, and a prayer-stick is made and consecrated to him at that time.
