calf is a turtle shell. Woven in the hair are
stalks of grain and grasses, while down the
back of the head drop white eagle plumes.
The dance occurs late in the afternoon on
the shaded side of the community house.
Only one successful photograph has ever been
made of the scene and that is the result of
continuous efforts during ten years. 1t shows
several dancers with the writing snakes in
their mouths and companions at their side
stroking the serpents with the wands Of
eagle feathers. The dance is on a small
made plateau or plaza and its course is
around a rock highly venerated by the Mo-
quis. The house originally stood on the edge
of a cliff. From a shelf below arose a small
rocky column to a height of fifty feet, but
in filling in to make the level dancing plaza
the Moquis have buried about two-thirds Of
the sacred rock. In a niche rests a stone
idol. A tepi TO hold the snakes is made by
wrapping a buffalo robe around a frame
work Of cottonwood saplings in leaf, and the
reptiles are brought from the estufas In bags.
The sacred rock and the roof of the adobe
dwelling are covered with Moqui and visiting
spectators. Men are gay with gaudy blankets
and women with %cottons, while many of the
children are in their naked red. 1t Is a
bright, hot day and the waterless valley
below stretches away into the distance under
the quiyering air like q yellow and brown
sea.
ON WITH THE DANCE.
The approach of the dancers is heralded
by the rattle Of gourds filled with corn and
the whirrlng Of a sling. A barefooted old
man with a crown Of leaves emerges from
behind the sacred rock, sprinkling the
ground with medicine or holy water, from
an earthen dish. A second old man scat
tiers sacred corn meal. They are followed
by several devotees gently shaking ~rattles.
Then come a number OF boys with ~rattles,
followed by an old man with a bow in one
hand and twirling a sling with the other.
A few PAGES behind this party comes a sec
ord division, whose members bear wands
Of eagle feathers in both hands, and
are followed by another sling twirler.
rhe devotees march solemnly once
around the sacred rock, with sings whir-
ring. rattles and eourds shaking and with
turtle shell and sheep toe on the
