First sentence: When I began my studies of the Snake dance at Walpi, in 1891, it was said by all the white men whom I consulted that this wield ceremonies was confined to the pueblos of Walpi and Miconinovi, and there was no mention in the literature dealing with the subject of its existence in other villages of Tusayan.
