Even to-day were we to see a representation in their crude way of a simple little Moki girl, with the singular arrangement of her hair in flat, circular puffs, like huge wheels, one on each side of the head, and had never seen or heard of this fashion of hair-dressing, we should be puzzled as to what it meant.

Sayewitalli wemiguma wokgetaki.—At first, in that place, at all times, above the earth. 2. Hackung kwelik owanaku wak yutali kitanitowitessop.—On the earth (was) an extended fog, and there the great Manito was. 3. Sayewis hallemiwis nolemiwi elemamik, kitanitowitessop.—At first, forever, lost in space, everywhere, the great Manito was. 4. Sohalawak kwelik hakik owak awasagamak.—He made the extended land and the sky. 5. Sohalawak gishuk nipahum alankwak.—He made the sun, the moon, and the stars. 6. Wemi-sohalawak yulik yuchaan.—He made them all to move evenly. 7. Wich-owagan kshakan moshakwat kwelik kshipe helep.—Then the wind blew violently, and it cleared, and the water flowed off far and strong. 8. Opeleken mani-menak delsin-epit.—And groups of islands grew newly, and there remained. 10.—Owiniwak angelatawiwak chichankwak wemiwak.—To beings, mortals, souls and all (spoke the Manito). There are sixty of these figures painted on the sticks. Each one recalls to the memory of those who have become acquainted with the associated idea, that special idea, and as an example nine of the signs are given here in connection with the associated idea, and also with the translation into English. There is seen here at once the resemblance to Genesis, and it is difficult to believe that this portion of the _Walam Olum_ was not inspired by the teachings of the missionaries. But Brinton says: “This similarity is due wholly to the identity of psychological action, the same ideas and fancies arising from similar impressions in New as well as Old World tribes. ] [Illustration: KATCINAS IN THE SOMAIKOLI CEREMONY, CICHUMOVI, ARIZONA, NOVEMBER, 1884 Photograph by the author ] [Illustration: KILLED TWO ARIKAREES]
