Note 129 — COMPARATIVE STUDY OF KATCINA DANCES IN CIBOLA AND TUSAYAN

Reading edition

On page 314 she mentions six Ahshiwanni as “rain priests.” I am not able to definitely decide from the text whether these six are the same as the fourteen mentioned above. It is not clear to me in which group Mrs Stevenson places the “Mud-heads” and “Gluttons,” well described by Ten Broeck in 1852 from Tusayan, and later by herself and Cushing from Zuñi, and by other writers from the Rio Grande pueblos.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
