On the 24th of this month (Pa), as after the Snake ceremonials,[50] the
Nüitiwa, or struggles of the maids with the men for bowls, etc., took
place, except that in this instance it was a struggle with a Katcina
and not, as in the Snake observance, between girls and young men.
From the foregoing table we learn that in the Return Katcina for 1894
the following[51] were personified:
1. Kütca (white) aña.
2. Coyóhim.
3. Tcakwaína.
4. Pópkotu.
5. Mucaízru.
6. Hü′iki.
7. Hehéa.
8. Avátchoya.
9. Tacáb.
10. Humís.
The accompanying clowns were the Tatcü′kti or knob-head priests. It is
an interesting fact that in the celebration of the departure of the
Katcinas the clowns took no part, but these priests were important
additions to the Síocálako.
