These deities are generally regarded as animistic and subordinate to the greater gods.[32] They have been called intercessors between man and the highest supernatural beings. There are misty legends that long ago the Katcinas, like men, came from the under world and brought with them various charms or náhü with which the Hopi are familiar. By some it is said that a Honáni (Badger) chief came up from the Átkyaa, or under world, in the center of a square whose four sides were formed of lines of Katcinas, and that he bore in his left hand a buzzard wing feather and a bundle of medicine hats on his back. The Katcinas recognized him as their chief, and became Katcina Honáni, Badger Katcinas. The legend runs that in ancient times Hahaíwüqti[33] emerged from the under world followed by four sons, who were Katcinas, each bearing in his arms a pet called pálülükoñûh, plumed serpent. Following these four came other Katcinas with pets (pókomatü), of whom the following are mentioned: One bearing pákwa, frog (water-eagle). One bearing pátsro, water-bird. One bearing pawíkya, duck. One bearing pavákiyuta, water on the backs bearers, aquatic animals. One bearing yüñ′ocona, turtle. One bearing zrána, bullfrog. One bearing pavátiya, young water bearer (tadpole). The others with kwáhü (eagle), parrot, crow, cooper’s hawk, swallow, and night hawk. The Súmaíkoli pets for the six directions are: Sowüñwû, deer Kwiníwi. Pañ′wû, mountain sheep Tevyüña. Tcü′bio, antelope Tatyúka. Tcaízrisa, elk Hópoka. Sówi, hare Omyúka. Tábo, cottontail rabbit Atkyántuka. The first four Katcinas bear a startling yet foreign resemblance to the Navaho Etsuthçle.[34] The word pókomatü is difficult to translate, but “pets” seems a good rendering. Its usage is similar to that of certain Navaho words. A Navaho woman speaks of a favorite child as ciliⁿ; a man calls his pet horse ciliⁿ, and the shaman designates his fetich-emblem of a nature deity bĭliⁿ; a Hopi calls his dog póko. The pet of Tuñwup is depicted on the altar as elsewhere mentioned in my account of the reredos of the farewell Katcina at Walpi.[35] [Illustration: PL. CV. THE NATACKA CEREMONY AT WALPI] In the Hopi conception of the All Katcina there seems to be an idea that they dwell in four terrestrial places or world-quarters.[36] This may be looked on as an application of a general idea of world-quarter deities so common among them.
