the SUBMITS Of almost inaccessible cliffs. they remain
the same to-day that they were when the adventurous
Coronado marched TO the conquest OF the Pueblo
country In 1541. a.
One OF their strange ceremonies is that conbnsnly
spoken OF as the Snake Dance, which occurs every
alternate year. usually about the end Of July, on
some one OF the three mesas on which their villages
are built In this dance which l. an invocation or

arid conries in the world. Naturally enough, most
of their sacrcd dances intended 10 bring pentl-
ni supply OF rain moisture upon the crops Inc
rain gods are always symbollzcd as scrpcnts.
Another of these rain dances is the Paluli Kong OF
