Note 241 — Chapter XVI · CEREMONIALS AND RITUALS

Reading edition

Journal of American Folk-Lore, Vol. XXXI. Apparently a somewhat movable fiesta, always announced four days in advance by the Saint’s Crier. He also calls out that now it is time to bring in the wood. A portion of whatever is cooked that day is thrown on the house fire for ahappa awan tewa (“the dead their day”). These words, by the way, are Zuñi in origin.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
