[Illustration: AMERICAN ANTHROPOLOGIST No. 8., VOL. 1, PL. XVII Drawn by MARY M. LEIGHTER ALTAR IN THE MOÑKIVA AT HANO] KIVAS AT HANO There are two kivas in Hano, one of which, called _Tewakiva_, is situated at the head of the trail to the pueblo. The other, called the _Moñkiva_, is built in the eastern part of the plaza, and, as its name implies, is the "chief" Hano kiva. Both these semi-subterranean rooms are rectangular[22] in shape, and in structural details resemble the kivas of Walpi. Each has a hatchway entrance in the middle of the roof, and is entered by means of a ladder which rests on the floor near a central fireplace. Neither of the Hano kivas has a window, but each has a raised platform for spectators east of the fireplace.[23] ALTAR IN THE MOÑKIVA AT HANO Anote,[24] the chief of the _Moñkiva_, constructed his altar (plate XVIII) on the day above mentioned as _Paic-tala_. He anticipated the others in making it, and began operations, about 10 A.M., by carefully sweeping the floor. His fetishes and other altar paraphernalia were in a bag on the floor at the western end of his kiva, but there was no _típoni_, or chieftain's badge, even on the completed altar. Shortly after Anote had finished sweeping the floor of the kiva, Satele entered, followed a few minutes later by Patuñtupi.[25] These three men, with Kalakwai, who was weaving a blanket, were the only persons in the kiva while the altar was being made. Immediately after the other chiefs came in, Anote began the making of prayer-sticks. Four of these were made, each of characteristic Tewa form. Each of these prayer-sticks was double the length of the middle finger, and was painted black with green pigment at the blunt end. On one of the two sticks which compose this prayer offering, there was cut a facet which was painted green with black dots representing eyes and mouth. The stick without the facet was called the male, and upon it a ferrule was incised. The two sticks were bound together with two cotton strings in two places, but no packet of prayer-meal was appended as in Hopi prayer-sticks (_pahos_).[26] A string with a terminal feather was attached to that which bound the two sticks together. Anote likewise made many feathered strings called _nakwakwocis_, and Satele fashioned two prayer-sticks; all of these were laid in a basket-tray on the floor.
