Note 58 — RUINS IN TUSAYAN

Reading edition

When the Flute people approach Walpi, as is biennially dramatized at the present time, "an assemblage of people there (at the entrance to the village) meet them, and just back of a line of meal drawn across the trail stood Winuta and Hoñyi," also two girls and a boy. After these Flute people are challenged and sing their songs the trail is opened, viz: "Alosaka drew the end of his moñkohu along the line of meal, and Winuta rubbed off the remainder from the trail with his foot." "Walpi Flute Observance," Journal of American Folk-lore, vol. vii, p. 19.
