Wizards and witches are tried and punished by the war priest; and it has been but a few years since a man and his wife suffered death for practicing this diabolical craft. Their child, a boy of some twelve years, Fig. 3, is a pauper who at times begs from door to door, and at other times he is taken into some family and made use of until they grow tired of dispensing their charity. The observations of the writer led her to believe that the boy earned all that he received. Socially, held in contempt by his elders, he seems a favorite with the children, though this unfortunate is seldom allowed the joy of childish sport. He is, however, a member of one of the most important cult societies (the knife) belonging to its several divisions. The clans (há-notc) now existing among these people are the Yá-ka Corn Shurts-ŭn-na Coyote Tá-ñe Squash Há-mi Tobacco Ko-hai Bear Ti-ä´-mi Eagle There is but one member of the eagle, one of the bear, and one of the squash clan, and these men are advanced in years. There is a second member of the squash clan, but he is a Tusayan by birth. The only clans that are numerically well represented are the corn and coyote. There is but one family of the tobacco clan. The following are extinct clans: Shi-kĕ Star T́a-wac Moon O´-sharts Sun Tä´ñe Deer Kurtz Antelope Mo´-kaitc Cougar Hĕn´-na-ti Cloud Shu´ta Crane Ha´-pan-ñi Oak Ha´-kan-ñi Fire Sha´-wi-ti Parrot Wa´pon White shell bead ᵗ´Zi-i Ant Ya´un-ñi Granite Wash´-pa Cactus The writer could not learn that there had ever been more than twenty-one clans, and although the table shows six at the present time, it may be seen from the statement that there are virtually but two. Marrying into the clan of either parent is in opposition to the old law; but at present there is nothing for the Sia to do but to break these laws, if they would preserve the remnant of their people, and while such marriages are looked upon with disfavor, it is “the inevitable.” The young men are watched with a jealous eye by their elders that they do not seek brides among other tribes, and though the beauty of the Sia maidens is recognized by the other pueblo people, they are rarely sought in marriage, for, according to the tribal custom, the husband makes his home with the wife; and there is little to attract the more progressive Indian of the other pueblos to Sia, where the eagerness to perpetuate a depleted race causes the Sia to rejoice over every birth, especially if it be a female child, regardless whether the child be legitimate or otherwise.
