Fewkes</span></p> + +<h2 class="nobreak" id="INTRODUCTION">INTRODUCTION</h2> + +</div> + +<p>In the following pages the author has endeavored to draw attention +to some of the most important symbols on Hopi pottery, especially +those of prehistoric times.</p> + +<p>Consideration of this subject has led to a discussion of the character +of pottery designs at different epochs and the interpretation, +by study of survivals, of ancient designs in modern times. This +chronological treatment has necessitated an examination of ceramic +material from ruins of different ages and an ethnological study of +ancient symbols still surviving in ceremonials now practiced. It has +also led to sociological researches on the composition of the tribe, the +sequence in the arrival of clans at Walpi, and their culture in distant +homes from which they migrated. It will thus appear that the subject +is a very complicated one, and that the data upon which conclusions +are based are sociological as well as archeological. There are +many ruins from which material might have been obtained, but only +a few have been adequately investigated. The small number of ruins +in the Hopi country which have thus far been excavated necessarily +makes our knowledge not only provisional but also imperfect. It is +hoped, however, that this article may serve to stimulate others to +renewed field work and so add desired data to the little we have +bearing on the subject.</p> + +<h3><span class="smcap">Chronology of Hopi Pottery Symbols</span></h3> + +<p>At least three well-marked epochs can be distinguished in the history +of Hopi ceramic symbolism. Each of these is intimately associated +with certain clans that have from time to time joined the Hopi +and whose descendants compose the present population. Although +these epochs follow each other in direct sequence, each was not +evolved from its predecessor or modified by it, except to a very +limited extent. Each epoch has left to the succeeding one a heritage +of symbols, survivals which are somewhat difficult to differentiate +from exotic symbols introduced by incoming clans. So that +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_216">[216]</span>while each epoch grades almost imperceptibly into the one directly +following it, an abrupt change is sometimes evident in the passage.</p> + +<p>In order to appreciate the relations between ceramic decoration +and history let me sketch in brief outline what I regard as the historical +development of the Hopi living near or on the East Mesa. +We know little of the group of people who first settled here except +that they belonged to the Bear clan, which is traditionally referred +to the eastern pueblo region. At about the time they entered +Hopiland there was a settlement called Sikyatki composed of Jemez +colonists, situated about 3 miles from the southern point of East +Mesa, and other towns or pueblos on Awatobi Mesa and in Antelope +Valley, 10 miles away.</p> + +<p>The first great additions to this original population were Snake +clans, who came from the San Juan, followed by Flute clans from +the same direction but originally of southern origin. Having become +well established at the point of the East Mesa, the combined +settlement overthrew Sikyatki and appropriated its clans.</p> + +<p>Then came the strenuous days of Spanish invasion and the destruction +of Awatobi in 1700. The Little Colorado clans had already +begun to seek refuge in the Hopi mountains and their number was +greatly augmented by those from Zuñi, a Rio Grande settlement +called Tewadi, and elsewhere, each addition bringing new forms of +culture and settling new pueblos on or near the East Mesa, as has +been shown in previous publications. Traditions point out their +former settlements and it remains for the archeologist to excavate +those settlements, now in ruins, and verify these traditions. This +can be done by a study of artifacts found in them.</p> + +<p>As a rule archeologists have relied on technique, form, and especially +color, in the classification of Pueblo pottery, leading, on the +technical side, to the groups known as (a) rough, coiled ware, and +(b) smooth, polished ware; and on that of form, to bowls, vases, jars, +dippers, etc. When color is used as the basis of classification the +divisions black and white, red, yellow, orange, and polychrome are +readily differentiated. Classifications based on these data are useful, +as they indicate cultural as well as geographical differences in +Pueblo ceramics; but these divisions can be used only with limitations +in a study of stages of culture growth. The fact that they are +not emphasized in the present article is not because their importance +is overlooked, but rather for the purpose of supplementing them with +a classification that is independent of and in some particulars more +reliable for indicating chronology and culture distinctions.</p> + +<p>The life-forms on ancient Sikyatki and other Hopi pottery are +painted on what is known as yellow ware, which is regarded by some +authors as characteristic of the Hopi area; but pottery of the same +color, yet with radically different symbolic life-forms, occurs also +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_217">[217]</span>in other areas. It thus appears that while a classification of Pueblo +pottery by color is convenient, differences of color are not so much +indications of diversity in culture as of geologic environment. Designs +on pottery are more comprehensive and more definite in culture +studies than color, and are so regarded in these pages.</p> + +<p>As there exists a general similarity in the form of prehistoric +pottery throughout the Southwest, shape alone is also inadequate for +a determination of Pueblo culture centers. The great multiplicity +and localization of symbols on Pueblo pottery furnishes adequate +material for classification by means of the designs depicted on vases, +bowls, and other pottery objects. Sikyatki pottery is especially suited +to a classification on such a basis, for it is recognized as the most +beautiful and the most elaborately decorated prehistoric pottery +found in the Southwest. Life-forms are abundant and their symbolism +is sufficiently characteristic to be regarded as typical of a well-defined +ceramic area. There can, of course, be no question regarding +the ancient character of the designs on Sikyatki pottery, nor were +they introduced or modified by white men, but are purely aboriginal +and prehistoric.</p> + +<p>Pottery from the Sikyatki ruin is chosen as a type of the most +highly developed or golden epoch in Hopi ceramics. Several other +ruins were inhabited when Sikyatki was in its prime and pottery +from these belongs to the same epoch, and would probably be equally +good to illustrate its character. Fortunately, specimens are available +from many of these, as Awatobi, and the ruins in Antelope Valley, +old Shumopavi, and other Middle Mesa ruins. The date of the +origin of this epoch, or the highest development of Hopi ceramics, is +not known, but there is evidence that it lasted until the fall of +Awatobi, in 1700. The destruction of Sikyatki occurred before 1540, +but Sikyatki has given the name to the epoch and is taken as the type, +not only because of the abundance of ceramic material available from +that ruin, but also because there can be no doubt of the prehistoric +nature of material from it.</p> + +<p>There is abundant evidence that the culture of Sikyatki was never +influenced by white man. After the overthrow of Awatobi there developed +on the East Mesa of the Hopi country a third ceramic epoch +which was largely influenced by the influx of Tanoan (Tewa) clans. +They came either directly from the Rio Grande or by way of Zuñi +and other pueblos. Among other arrivals about 1710 were those +clans which settled Hano, a Tewa pueblo on the East Mesa. The +Hano and other symbols introduced in this epoch are best known in +the present generation by the earlier productions of Nampeo, an +expert modern potter.</p> + +<p>The pottery of this epoch differs from that of the second in form, +color, and technique, but mainly in its symbolism, which is radically +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_218">[218]</span>different from that of the epochs that preceded it. The symbolism +of this phase is easily determined from large collections now in +museums. This epoch was succeeded in 1895 by a fourth, in which +there was a renaissance of old Sikyatki patterns, under the lead of +Nampeo. In that year Nampeo visited the excavations at Sikyatki +and made pencil copies of the designs on mortuary bowls. +From that time all pottery manufactured by her was decorated with +modified Sikyatki symbols, largely to meet the demand for this +beautiful ancient ware. The extent of her work, for which there was +a large demand, may be judged by the great numbers of Hopi bowls +displayed in every Harvey store from New Mexico to California. +This modified Sikyatki ware, often sold by unscrupulous traders as +ancient, is the fourth, or present, epoch of Hopi ceramics. These +clever imitations, however, are not as fine as the productions of the +second epoch. There is danger that in a few years some of Nampeo’s +imitations will be regarded as ancient Hopi ware of the second epoch, +and more or less confusion introduced by the difficulty in distinguishing +her work from that obtained in the ruins.</p> + +<hr class="chap x-ebookmaker-drop" aria-hidden="true"> + +<div class="chapter"> + +<h2 class="nobreak" id="THE_RUIN_SIKYATKI">THE RUIN, SIKYATKI</h2> + +</div> + +<p>The ruins of the ancient pueblo of Sikyatki, consisting of mounds +and a few outcropping walls, are situated on rocky elevations rising +from the sand hills at the eastern or sunny base of the East Mesa, +about 3 miles from the modern Hopi pueblo of Walpi in northeastern +Arizona. The founders of Sikyatki are said, in very circumstantial +migration legends, to have belonged to a [Keres?] clan called +the Kokop, or Firewood, which previously lived in a pueblo near +Jemez, New Mexico. Preliminary excavations were made at Sikyatki, +under the author’s direction, by the Smithsonian Institution in 1895, +when there was obtained, chiefly from its cemeteries, a valuable collection +of pottery, most of which is now installed in the National +Museum.⁠<a id="FNanchor_1" href="#Footnote_1" class="fnanchor">[1]</a>⁠</p> + +<p>Little is known of the history of Sikyatki save through tradition, +but enough has been discovered to show that it was abandoned before +1540, the year of the visit to Tusayan of Pedro Tovar, an officer of +the Coronado expedition. It was probably settled much earlier, perhaps +about the time the Bear clans, also said to have come from the +Jemez region, built the first houses of Walpi near the point of the +terrace at the west or cold side of the East Mesa, below the present +settlement.⁠<a id="FNanchor_2" href="#Footnote_2" class="fnanchor">[2]</a> Both of these prehistoric pueblos occupied sites exposed +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_219">[219]</span>to attack by enemies and were not built on mesa tops, hence it may +be assumed that there were no enemies to fear in Tusayan at the +time of their establishment. But later, when the Snake clans from +the north joined the Bear settlement at Walpi, trouble seems to have +commenced. As above mentioned, the Bear clans came from the +same region as the Kokop and were presumably friendly, probably +kin of the Sikyatkians; but the Snake clans came from Tokonabi, +in the north, and were no doubt of foreign stock, implying a hostility +that may have been the indirect cause of the overthrow of +Sikyatki and Awatobi by the other Hopi.</p> + +<p>The two epochs in Hopi ceramic development that can be distinguished +with certainty are (1) the Sikyatki epoch and (2) the +Tanoan or historic epoch. The third, or renaissance, of the Sikyatki +dates back to 1895, and may be called the modern epoch. The +Sikyatki epoch gave way to the Tanoan about the beginning of the +eighteenth century. It did not develop from any group preexisting +in the neighborhood of the present Hopi pueblos but was derived +from the east and it ceased suddenly, being replaced by a totally +different group introduced by radically different clans.⁠<a id="FNanchor_3" href="#Footnote_3" class="fnanchor">[3]</a>⁠</p> + +<h3><span class="smcap">Sikyatki Epoch</span></h3> + +<p>The most characteristic Hopi pottery bearing symbols of the +Sikyatki epoch occurs in a few ruins near the Hopi mesas, but from +lack of exploration it is impossible to determine the boundaries of +the area in which it is found.</p> + +<p>Several museums contain collections of Hopi ware of this epoch, +among which may be mentioned the National Museum at Washington, +the Field Columbian Museum of Natural History at Chicago, +the Museum of the University of Pennsylvania, the Peabody Museum +at Cambridge, and the Museum für Volkerkünde at Berlin, Germany. +Many bowls of this epoch are likewise found in the American +Museum of Natural History, New York, and in the Museum of the +Brooklyn Institute. Several private collections in Europe and the +United States likewise contain specimens of Sikyatki ware, among +them being that gathered by the late Dr. Miller, now at Phoenix, +Arizona. The collection of prehistoric Hopi pottery in the National +Museum is particularly rich, containing many specimens gathered by +the Stevenson expeditions, by the author, and by Dr. Hough, of the +U. S. National Museum.</p> + +<p>The symbols on the ancient pottery from the Middle Mesa of the +Hopi are almost identical with those of Sikyatki, indicating a similarity +of culture, a common geographical origin, and a synchronous +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_220">[220]</span>culture. From the character of the symbols on the ancient pottery +from the ancient Middle Mesa pueblos it is probable that the clans +who founded them came, like the colonists who settled Sikyatki, +from the Jemez plateau in New Mexico. Although the Field collection +is very rich in old Walpi ware, nothing of importance has been published +on the symbols of this collection; it contains some of the most +instructive examples of the Sikyatki epoch. A large and probably +the most valuable portion of this collection was gathered by Dr. +George A. Dorsey and Mr. Charles L. Owen, while many pieces were +purchased from Mr. Frank Wattron, of Holbrook, and from the +late Mr. T. V. Keam, of Keams Canyon, Arizona. The source of +many of the Wattron specimens is unknown, but it is evident from +their decoration that some of them are ancient Hopi and probably +belong to the Sikyatki epoch and came from Shongopovi, Awatobi, +or Sikyatki.</p> + +<p>Shortly before his death Mr. T. V. Keam sold to the Museum für +Volkerkünde at Berlin, Germany, a rich collection of pottery obtained +mainly from Awatobi and Sikyatki, containing several specimens +of the Sikyatki epoch which are highly instructive. Some of +the designs on the pottery of this collection are unique, and their publication +would be a great aid to a study of the most important epoch +of Hopi ceramics.</p> + +<p>A large proportion of life-forms used in the decoration of Sikyatki +pottery are mythological subjects, showing the predominance +of supernatural beings and their magic power in the minds of the +makers. Like a child, the primitive artist is fond of complexity +of detail, and figures in which motion is indicated appealed more to +his fancy than those objects that do not move. It needs but a glance +at the ancient Sikyatki life-figures to show a tendency to represent +detail and to convince one of the superiority of the Sikyatki potters +in this respect over those of modern times. There has been a gradual +deterioration, not only less care being now devoted to the technique +of the pottery but also to the drawing of the figures. This lack in +itself is significant, for while modern ware reflects in its hasty +crudeness the domination of commercialism, the ancient pottery +shows no indication of such influence. Pottery is now made to please +the purchaser; in ancient times another motive influenced the maker, +for then it was a product worthy of the highest use to which it +could be put, since it often formed a part of sacred paraphernalia +in religious ceremonies.</p> + +<h3><span class="smcap">Human Figures</span></h3> + +<p>Sikyatki pictures of human beings depict men and women, singly +or in company, and are few in number and crude in execution. Organs +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_221">[221]</span>of the body—hands, feet, arms, and legs—are often represented +separately. The hand is portrayed on two vessels, and the foot, +elaborately drawn, appears on another; +as a general thing when parts +of the body are represented they +are greatly conventionalized. The +few human figures on Sikyatki pottery +are crude representations as +compared with those of animals, +and especially of birds. Several of +the figures are represented wearing +ancient costumes and ornaments, +and one or two have their hair done +up in unusual styles; others have +the body or face tattooed or +painted; but as a whole these decorations +are rare and shed little light +on prehistoric customs. There is nothing that can be identified +as a time count, calendric, hieroglyphic, or phonetic signs, or any +record of historical events.</p> + +<div class="figcenter"> + +<figure class="figmulti illowp75" id="figure012" style="max-width: 18.75em;"> + <img class="w100" src="images/figure012.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption> + <p><span class="smcap">Fig. 12.</span>—Human head with hair in + characteristic whorls.</p> + </figcaption> +</figure> + +<figure class="figmulti illowp75" id="figure013" style="max-width: 18.75em;"> + <img class="w100" src="images/figure013.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption> + <p><span class="smcap">Fig. 13.</span>—Woman with serpent-like animal.</p> + </figcaption> +</figure> + +</div> + +<p>None of the human figures are represented with masks or headdresses +to indicate the impersonation +of kachinas, nor are there +double figures or animal heads depicted +on human bodies.

The woman with an +ear of corn recalls a figure on the elaborately painted wooden slab +carried by women in the Hopi Marau dance or that on the wooden +slab, or <i>monkohu</i>, carried by the priests representing Alosaka, Eototo, +and other ceremonial personages. These painted slabs do not always +bear pictures of corn ears, for those +of the priests known as the Aaltû +have, instead of pictures of corn, +the corn itself tied to them; in the +New-fire ceremony at Walpi members +of the Tataukyamû priesthood, +at Walpi, also hold ears of corn +with or without wooden slabs, while +those borne by the warrior Kwakwantû +are carved in the form of the +sacred plumed serpent, which is +their patron.⁠<a id="FNanchor_6" href="#Footnote_6" class="fnanchor">[6]</a>⁠</p> + +<div class="figcenter"> + +<figure class="figmulti illowp75" id="figure014" style="max-width: 18.75em;"> + <img class="w100" src="images/figure014.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption> + <p><span class="smcap">Fig. 14.</span>—Kneeling woman, showing + hair in characteristic whorls.</p> + </figcaption> +</figure> + +<figure class="figmulti illowp75" id="figure015" style="max-width: 18.75em;"> + <img class="w100" src="images/figure015.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption> + <p><span class="smcap">Fig. 15.</span>—Three human figures.</p> + </figcaption> +</figure> + +</div> + +<p>Different styles of hairdressing +are exhibited in figures 13 and 14, +that of <a href="#figure014">figure 14</a> being similar to +the modern Hopi.

It was +the custom of Sikyatki potters to give more attention to specific than +generic characters of flying creatures, distinguishing different kinds +of birds by the form of their feathers. The +symbol of a turkey, an eagle, or a hawk +feather was distinct from that of an owl, +and each kind of a bird had its own special +symbolic marking, especially +indicated in the +different kinds of feathers. +Thus it occurs that +Sikyatki bird designs, +instead of being realistically +represented, are +often so highly conventionalized +that the genus +can not be identified.</p> + +<figure class="figcenter illowp100" id="figure025" style="max-width: 21.875em;"> + <img class="w100" src="images/figure025.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption> + <p><span class="smcap">Fig. 25.</span>—Turtle.</p> + </figcaption> +</figure> + +<p>The flight of birds, like the movement of serpents, is regarded as +mysterious, and anything mysterious or uncanny has always profoundly +affected the mind of primitive man. The chief visible characteristics +connected with the flight of a bird are wings and feathers, +and the kind of feathers of a particular bird led to their association +with the supposed magic power of the bird itself among both the +ancient and modern Hopi. Different kinds of feathers have different +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_228">[228]</span>powers; thus the feathers of the turkey, for example, among the +modern Hopi, are potent in inducing rain; those of the eagle or the +hawk pertain especially to the power of the sun; a breast feather of +an eagle is chosen as an individual +prayer bearer. The feathers of an +owl, like the owl itself,⁠<a id="FNanchor_14" href="#Footnote_14" class="fnanchor">[14]</a> are generally +regarded as having a sinister +influence; but sometimes the +feather of this bird is beneficial, +it is believed, in making peach +trees yield abundantly.

There are two subdivisions of this type, +one with a dotted shaft (<a href="#figure058">fig. 58</a>), the other plain. +This form of feather design is found in most unexpected associations, +occurring on the heads of serpents or attached to various parts of the +body and under the wings of birds. It also hangs from diametrical +bands drawn across the inside of food bowls and from other objects +constituting the decoration of vessels. In a few instances this type +of feather is enlarged and constitutes the essential part of the design, +with other symbols attached.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_238">[238]</span></p> + +<p>This type of feather sometimes forms a part of a bird’s tail, but +it does not occur in the wings, although, as above stated, it occurs +under a wing or on the body or the head of a bird, a localization +that leads to the belief that the device was designed to represent a +breast feather, such as the Hopi now use in their prayers. In ancient +Hopi symbolism it is often attached to circles representing the sun +and represents a tail feather.</p> + +<p>In <a href="#plate76">plate 76</a>, <i>a</i>, three feathers are represented with pointed tips and +without interior markings. It is one of the simplest drawings of the +type mentioned.</p> + +<p>This figure illustrates a well-known type of feather symbol. It +has many variations, all clearly differentiated from the form last +described, from which it differs in its elongate form and pointed tip. +What may be regarded as a subtype of this is marked with diagonal +bands drawn either at right angles at one edge or extending across +the figure and terminating at right angles to the opposite edge. +Feather symbols of this type, which have not been identified with +any particular bird, are constantly found in birds’ tails and wings.</p> + +<p>The next design (<a href="#plate76">pl. 76</a>, <i>b</i>) is similar in outline, but the three +feathers are painted solid black and are separated by spaces. This +conventional form of feather is common on wings and tails of birds.</p> + +<p>The group of symbols shown in <a href="#plate76">plate 76</a>, <i>c</i>, has pointed tips, like +the others described, but part of the shaft is painted, while the other +is plain, the line of demarcation between which is drawn diagonally. +This form occurs on the tails rather than on the wings of birds.</p> + +<p>The tips of the feathers in <a href="#plate76">plate 76</a>, <i>d</i>, are connected by a black +band and are divided by short vertical lines. A distinguishing feature +of this symbol is the oblique marking of each feather on the +right side, by which the feathers are narrowed at the base. A solid +semicircular figure with a double notch ornaments the upper edge. +The few known examples of this type of feather symbol are from +the tails of unknown birds.</p> + +<p>The next form of feather, shown in <i>e</i>, differs from the last in that +the shaft is spotted and the proximal end is cut diagonally in a somewhat +different way.⁠<a id="FNanchor_23" href="#Footnote_23" class="fnanchor">[23]</a> The tips are slit as in the figure last described.</p> + +<p>The width of the feathers shown in <i>f</i> is uniform throughout.

The distal end is broad and pointed; the +proximal narrows almost to a point. The left half of the body of +the feather is black; the remainder, including the point, is plain. +The design <i>l</i> has the same general form as <i>k</i>, but its tip is marked +in a different manner.</p> + +<p>The double-pointed symbol represented in <i>m</i> was evidently designed +as a feather (possibly two feathers), with parallel sides, and +pointed tips painted black. The symbol <i>n</i> is similar to <i>d</i> in outline, +but it lacks the terminal slit and black bands. There project, however, +from the angles formed by the tips of the feathers three vertical +lines, each with an arrow point at the extremity and two short +crosslines, as in one of the bird designs previously described (<a href="#figure035">fig. +35</a>). The present design represents wing feathers; the complete +bird figure (<a href="#figure035">fig. 35</a>), where they also occur, represents a thunderbird.</p> + +<p>The three tail feathers shown in <i>o</i> are in no respect peculiar. The +two-pointed appendages seen above are an almost constant feature +of the drawings of birds as seen from the back. The feathers represented +in <i>p</i> are unlike others in their mode of attachment and in +the ornamentation at the base.</p> + +<p>Thus far we have considered a type of feathers with pointed tips +(<a href="#plate76">pl. 76</a>, <i>a-p</i>) imparting to the whole tail a serrate appearance. While +in the next figure, <i>q</i>, the tail feathers still terminate in points, a black +band connecting their extremities is prolonged at each side, recalling +the tail of certain swallows.</p> + +<p>Feathers are often represented on Sikyatki pottery as elsewhere in +the Southwest by parallel straight lines. The feathers represented +in <i>r</i> are exceptional in that their length varies considerably, the +median feather here being the longest.</p> + +<p>While undoubtedly the series of designs shown in <i>s</i> to <i>bb</i>, inclusive, +in each instance representing the feathers in the tail of a bird, are +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_240">[240]</span>all highly conventionalized, in one or two instances, as <i>u</i> and <i>bb</i>, the +relation to feathers can be recognized only by comparative studies.</p> + +<p>The design illustrated in <i>cc</i>, taken from the neck of a vase, represents +several peculiar feathers of a type not yet described but highly +characteristic. Comparison of this with that of <i>dd</i> shows the similarity +of the two and suggests that they pertain to the same kind of +bird. The tails represented in <i>v</i>, <i>aa</i>, and <i>bb</i> are characteristic; the +last represents tail feathers hanging from the band later described.</p> + +<p>The series of feathers (possibly tail feathers) shown in several figures +have rounded tips, and as a rule are of uniform size and without +ornamentation. In <a href="#plate77">plate 77</a>, <i>a</i>, the three feathers composing the tail +are painted black and are slightly separated, while those of <i>b</i> are +half black and half plain, the solid area being separated from the +plain by a diagonal line extending from the proximal to the distal +extremity.</p> + +<p>The four feathers in <i>c</i> are separated by slight intervals and lightly +shaded; otherwise they are similar to those in <i>a</i>. The two outside +feathers of <i>d</i> are much broader than the middle feather, which is +reduced to a narrow line. In <i>e</i> the three feathers are broader at the +tips, in which respect they differ from <i>c</i>.</p> + +<p>In the tail shown in <i>f</i>, the feathers are indicated by shallow notches +from which short parallel lines extend inward. They are without +superficial markings. Figure <i>g</i> belongs to the notched type represented +above.</p> + +<p>The four feather symbols shown in the drawing of the bird’s tail +illustrated in <i>h</i> differ from all others in the shape of their distal ends, +which are alternately black and plain, and are without superficial +ornamentation. Evidently this feather design, which is represented +on a single vessel from Sikyatki, is of a distinct type.</p> + +<p>There is some doubt whether <i>i</i> represents a bird’s tail, the head +and body from which the design was taken being more like those of a +moth or a butterfly. The meaning of the design in <i>j</i> is also doubtful. +Figure <i>k</i> represents a single “breath” feather like that shown in +<a href="#figure057">figure 57</a>.</p> + +<p>There is a general resemblance between the tail feathers of the +bird designed in <i>e</i> and <i>l</i>; the latter represents the tail of a bird, hanging +between two triangles under a star design.</p> + +<p>Figure <i>m</i> represents a bird’s tail with three tail feathers and +lateral extensions, while in <i>n</i>, where we also have a figure of the tail +of a bird, each feather is marked by a rectangular pattern.

The occurrence of crossbars near the dot (<i>g</i>, <i>h</i>, <i>i</i>) vary +in number from one to four, and are always parallel, but usually +are placed on one side of the knot, although in some cases (<i>i</i>) they +appear on both sides. In one example (<i>j</i>) no ball or knot is provided, +the <i>nakwakwoci</i> consisting merely of the string intersected +by pairs of equidistant crosslines. A special modification of the +dot with crosslines is shown in the figure with the leaflike attachment +(<i>q</i>).</p> + +<p>One of the most significant of the stringed-feather designs is +shown in <i>a</i>, where a feather of the first type is attached to the string +intersected by crosslines. As a terminal element in corresponding +designs is a typical feather symbol, this figure is also identical. The +figure of a string with enlargements and a pair of lines (<i>g</i>) probably +represents that form of stringed feather called by the Hopi a <i>purhu</i>, +“road,” an offering laid by the Hopi on the trails approaching the +pueblo to indicate that ceremonies are being performed, or on altars +to show the pathway of blessings.</p> + +<p>In another stringed-feather design (<i>n</i>) appears a triangular symbol +attached to the enlargement, the string terminating in radiating +lines.

Representations of a similar band with like appendage +girt the necks of small pottery objects and are, so far as is known, +characteristic of prehistoric Hopi pottery.</p> + +<figure class="figcenter illowp42" id="plate79" style="max-width: 28.125em;"> + <img class="w100" src="images/plate79.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption> + <p>BUREAU OF AMERICAN ETHNOLOGY <span class="spacer">THIRTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT</span> PLATE 79</p> + <p>SKY-BANDS</p> + </figcaption> +</figure> + +<p>Lines identified as sky-bands shown in <a href="#plate79">plate 79</a> vary from single +(<i>a</i>) or double (<i>b</i>) to a broad undecorated band (<i>c</i>). In its simplest +form the sky-band extends entirely across the inside of the bowl, +but in the more complicated examples it surrounds the vessel parallel +with the rim surrounding the design on the inside of the bowl. +Appendages of several kinds as dots (<i>d</i>) or as stars (<i>f</i>), made up +of oblong figures in terrace form placed at intervals, are attached +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_243">[243]</span>to this band. The sky-band itself varies in width, being broad or +narrow, crossed by series of vertical parallel, zigzag, or other lines +arranged at intervals, or alternating with geometrical figures (<i>g</i>, <i>h</i>). +In a single example (<i>i</i>) the decoration is etched into the burnt clay, +although in most instances the decorations are painted.</p> + +<p>Various explanations of the meaning of this band have been suggested, +it being regarded by some of the priests as the Milky Way, +by others as the path of the sun through the sky, but so far as +known this ancient design is rare on modern Hopi ware.⁠<a id="FNanchor_24" href="#Footnote_24" class="fnanchor">[24]</a> According +to Harrington the Tewa recognize a “backbone” of the sky.</p> + +<p>In several Hopi legends there are allusions to a monster bird that +had been killed and hung in the sky by a cultus hero; and the +general character of this decorative band in Sikyatki pottery decoration +renders it probable that it was intended to represent some +supernatural being, as the Sky god.</p> + +<p>The chief interest of the Sikyatki sky-band lies in the figure or +figures attached to it, or suspended from it, and regarded as the +conventionalized representation of a bird. Sometimes the creature +is placed longitudinally, sometimes vertically. In some instances +it is elaborately drawn, in others it is a simple geometric figure +bearing so little resemblance to a life form as to make it one of the +most highly conventionalized of all ancient Hopi designs.</p> + +<p>Like other bird designs, these suspended figures may be considered +under two heads: (1) Those attached to the band in such a way +as to be seen from above (the dorsal side) or from below (the +ventral side); and (2) those suspended lengthwise of the band, +showing one side in which the tail and other parts are twisted into +a plane at right angles.

When these figures are placed in the same +position it is possible to recognize three or four components which +are designated (a) spiral, (b) appendage to the tip of the spiral, +(c) a bundle of feathers recalling a bird’s tail, and (d) and (e) +other parts of unknown homology occasionally represented. In <a href="#plate85">plate +85</a>, <i>A</i> the appendage <i>b</i> to the spiral <i>a</i> is two triangles and two supplemental +spirals arising from their attachments. There is no representation +of <i>c</i>, <i>d</i>, or <i>e</i> in this figure.</p> + +<p>In <i>B</i> of the same plate the elements <i>a</i>, <i>b</i>, <i>c</i>, and <i>d</i> are represented. +The appendage <i>b</i> attached to the tip of the spiral <i>a</i> has the form +of a feather of the first type (see <a href="#plate76">pl. 76</a>), and four parallel +lines, <i>c</i>, indicating feathers, are attached to the body. The two +toothlike appendages <i>e</i>, of unknown significance, complete the figure. +In <a href="#plate85">plate 85</a>, <i>C</i>, the design <i>a</i> has two dots <i>b</i> on the distal tip, +from one of which arises a number of lines. The fact that <i>b</i> in figure +<i>B</i> is a feather leads to the belief that <i>b</i> in figure <i>C</i> is the same +design.</p> + +<p><a href="#plate85">Plate 85</a>, <i>D</i> and <i>E</i>, have a resemblance in form, <i>a</i> and <i>c</i> being represented +in both; <i>b</i> and <i>e</i> are wanting in <i>E</i>. The different elements in +these designs can be readily seen by comparing the same lettering in +<i>F</i> and <i>G</i>, and in <a href="#plate86">plate 86</a>, <i>A</i> and <i>B</i>, where a new element, <i>t</i>, is introduced.</p> + +<p><a href="#plate86">Plate 86</a>, <i>B</i> and <i>E</i>, are highly conventionalized designs; they suggest +bird form, examples of which have been already considered +elsewhere, but are very much modified.</p> + +<p>There can be no doubt that it was intended to represent birds or +parts of birds as feathers in many of the above figures, but the +perspective is so distorted that their morphology or relative position +on the bird to which they belong can not be made out. In <a href="#plate86">plate 86</a>, <i>A</i>, +for instance, the bird’s body seems to be split in two parts and laid +on a flat plane. The pendent body, <i>t</i>, in the middle would be a +representation of a bird’s tail composed of three feathers and with +a double triangle terminating in dots from which arise lines of +would-be feathers.</p> + +<p>Two of the parts, <i>a</i> and <i>t</i>, that occur in the last mentioned, are +found in <a href="#plate86">plate 86</a>, <i>B</i>, in somewhat modified form. Thus the position +of the tail feathers, <i>t</i>, figure <i>C</i>, is taken by feathers of a different +form, their extremities being cut off flat and not curved. The bundles +of feathers in <i>B</i> and <i>C</i> are here reversed, the left side of <i>B</i> corresponding +to the right of <i>C</i>, and the appendage on the left of the tail +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_252">[252]</span>of <i>B</i> being represented by the appendage on the right of <i>C</i>. There +are other remote likenesses between them.</p> + +<h3><span class="smcap">Spider and Insects</span></h3> + +<p>Other flying animals, like bats and insects, are depicted on Sikyatki +pottery, but not as constantly as birds. The spider, and +insects like the dragon fly, moth, and butterfly, are the most common. +In Hopi mythology the spider⁠<a id="FNanchor_28" href="#Footnote_28" class="fnanchor">[28]</a> and the sun are associated, the +former being the symbol of an earth goddess. Although no design +that can be referred to the spider has yet been found on Sikyatki +pottery, it is not wanting from Hopi (<a href="#plate87">pl. 87</a>, <i>c</i>).</p> + +<p>The symbol of the dragon fly, which occurs on several bowls from +ancient Hopi ruins, is a line often enlarged at one end to form a +head, and always with two crossbars near this enlargement to indicate +wings. As this insect lives near springs and is constantly associated +in modern symbolism with water it is probable that its occurrence +on ancient Hopi pottery has practically the same significance +as in modern conceptions.</p> + +<h3><span class="smcap">Butterfly and Moth</span></h3> + +<p>Five typical figures that may be referred to the butterfly or moth +occur on Sikyatki pottery. These figures have in common a triangular +body which suggests a highly +conventionalized picture of a bird. +Their wings are, as a rule, extended +horizontally, assuming the +attitude of moths while at rest, +there being only one of the five +examples where wings are folded +above the back, the normal position +of these organs in a butterfly. +With one exception, all these conventional +butterfly figures bear +two curved rows of dots on the +head, probably intended to represent +antennæ.</p> + +<figure class="figcenter illowp75" id="figure079" style="max-width: 18.75em;"> + <img class="w100" src="images/figure079.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption> + <p><span class="smcap">Fig. 79.</span>—Butterfly and flower.</p> + </figcaption> +</figure> + +<p>The figure of a moth in <a href="#figure079">figure 79</a> +has a body of triangular form, +and the extremities of the wings are shown on each side of a medially +placed backward-extending projection, which is the posterior end +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_253">[253]</span>of the abdomen. These wings bear white dots on their posterior +edges suggesting the markings on certain genera of butterflies.⁠<a id="FNanchor_29" href="#Footnote_29" class="fnanchor">[29]</a> +There arises from the head, which here is circular, a single jointed +appendage curved at the end, possibly +the antenna, and an unjointed +appendage, like a proboscis, inserted +into a figure of a flower, +mounted on a stalk that terminates +at the other extremity in five +parallel extensions or roots. A +row of dots about the periphery +of the flower suggests petals. The +figures are accompanied by crosses +representing stars.</p> + +<p>The second moth design (<a href="#figure080">fig. 80</a>) +has even a closer resemblance to +a bird than the last, for it also has +a single antenna or row of dots +connected by a curved line. It +likewise has several curved lines resembling a crest of feathers on +top of the head, and lines recalling the tail of a bird.

Purely decorative designs, not being symbolic, +will not be specially considered, as they do +not come within the scope of the present treatise. An +interpretation of the significance of many of the second group of +geometrical designs is not possible, although they probably represent +animal forms.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_256">[256]</span></p> + +<p>The strictly geometrical figures so frequently found on pottery +from Sikyatki recall the linear decorations almost universal in ancient +southwestern ware.</p> + +<p>No one who has carefully compared specimens of decorated pottery +from Sikyatki with examples from any other southwestern region +could fail to be impressed with the differences in some of the +geometrical designs from the two localities. Such designs on the +Sikyatki ware are almost always rectangular, rarely curved. As +compared with pottery from cliff-dwellings there is a paucity or +entire absence of terraced designs in the ancient Hopi ware, while +zigzags representing lightning are comparatively rare. The characteristic +geometrical decorations on Sikyatki pottery are found on +the outside of the food bowls, in which respect they are notably different +from those of other ceramic areas. Designs on Sikyatki pottery +show few survivals of preexisting materials or evolution from +transfer of those on textiles of any kind. Such as do exist are so +masked that they shed little light on current theories of art evolution.</p> + +<p>The designs on ancient Hopi pottery are in the main mythological, +hence their true interpretation involves a knowledge of the religious +ideas and especially of such psychological elements as sympathetic +magic, so prevalent among the Hopi of to-day. The idea that by +the use of symbols man could influence supernatural beings was no +doubt latent in the mind of the potter and explains the character +of the symbols in many instances. The fact that the bowls on which +these designs are painted were found with the dead, and contained +food for the departed, implies a cult of the dead, or at least a belief +in a future life.</p> + +<h3><span class="smcap">Rain Clouds</span></h3> + +<p>The most constant geometric designs on Pueblo pottery are those +representing the rain cloud, and from analogy we would expect to +find the rain-cloud figures conspicuously on ancient Hopi pottery. +We look in vain on Sikyatki ware for the familiar semicircular +symbols of rain clouds so constant among the modern Hopi; nor do +we find the rectangular terraced form which is equally common. +These modifications were probably lately introduced into Hopiland +by those colonists of alien clans who came after the destruction of +Sikyatki, and consequently are not to be expected on its pottery. +Their place was taken by other characteristic forms closely allied +to rectangular terraced figures from which hang parallel lines, representing +falling rain in modern symbolism.⁠<a id="FNanchor_34" href="#Footnote_34" class="fnanchor">[34]</a> The typical Sikyatki +rain-cloud symbol is terraced without rain symbols and finds its +nearest relative on pottery derived from the eastern pueblo region. +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_257">[257]</span>The form of rain-cloud symbol on Sikyatki pottery may be regarded +as characteristic of the Kokop clan which, according to legends, +settled this ancient pueblo.

A simple equal armed +cross is the sole decoration on the interior +of numerous food bowls, and there are several examples of St. +Andrew’s crosses, the triangular arms of which have been interpreted +as representing four conventionalized birds; no example +of a cross with unequal arms has yet been found on Sikyatki +pottery.</p> + +<figure class="figleft illowp100" id="figure090" style="max-width: 12.5em;"> + <img class="w100" src="images/figure090.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption> + <p><span class="smcap">Fig. 90.</span>—Rain cloud.</p> + </figcaption> +</figure> + +<p>These crosses, like that with four arms representing the Sky god +in modern Hopi symbolism, probably represent the Heart of the Sky. +A similar cross is figured on paraphernalia used in modern Hopi +rites or on altar slabs; when it is represented by a wooden frame, it +is called <i>tokpela</i>, and hangs before the altar.

Sometimes the ring predominates, sometimes +the feathers, and sometimes a bird figure replaces all, the ring +being lost or reduced in size. This variation is primitive and quite +consistent with the Pueblo conceptions +and analogies known to occur +in Hopi ceremonial paraphernalia. +This variation illustrates what is +elsewhere said about the influence of +the magic power on the pictorial art +of Hopi.⁠<a id="FNanchor_41" href="#Footnote_41" class="fnanchor">[41]</a>⁠</p> + +<p>The sun, to the Hopi mind, is +likewise represented by a bird, +or a compound of both becomes +a Sky-god emblem; the horned +serpent is the servant of the Sky +god.</p> + +<p>We find among the modern Hopi several disks with markings +and decorations of such a character that they are identified as +representations of the sun.

These shrines are regarded as +sacred by the Hopi and are particularly numerous in the neighborhood +of the Hopi mesas.⁠<a id="FNanchor_43" href="#Footnote_43" class="fnanchor">[43]</a> They are ordinarily simply rude inclosures +made of stones or flat stone slabs set on edge, forming boxes, +which may either be closed or open on one side. The simplest pictographic +representation of such a shrine is the same as that of a +house, or a circular or rectangular figure. A similar design is drawn +in meal on the floor of the kiva or traced with the same material on +the open plaza when the priest wishes to represent a house or shrine. +Elaborate pictures made of different colored sands to represent gods +are often inclosed by encircling lines, the whole called a house of +the gods. Thus the sand picture on the Antelope altar of the Snake +dance is called the house of the rain-cloud beings.⁠<a id="FNanchor_44" href="#Footnote_44" class="fnanchor">[44]</a> When reptiles +are washed on the ninth day of the Snake dance they are said to be +thrown into the house, a sand picture of the mountain lion. It is +customary to make in some ceremonies not only a picture of the god +worshiped, but also a representation of his or her house. The custom +of adding a picture of a shrine to that of the supernatural can be seen +by examining a series of pictures of Hopi kachinas. Here the shrine +is a rain-cloud symbol introduced to show that the house of the +kachina represented is a rain cloud.</p> + +<p>Sikyatki bowls decorated with figures identified as supernaturals +often bear accompanying designs which may, from comparative +reasoning, be interpreted as shrines of the supernatural being depicted. +They have at times a form not unlike that of certain sand +pictures, as in the case of the curved figure accompanying a highly +conventionalized plumed serpent. A great variety of figures of this +kind are found on Sikyatki bowls,⁠<a id="FNanchor_45" href="#Footnote_45" class="fnanchor">[45]</a> and often instead of being a +rectangular figure they may be elongated more like a prayer offering.</p> + +<p>The rectangular figure that accompanies a representation of a +great horned serpent (<a href="#figure100">fig. 100</a>) may be interpreted as the shrine +house of that monster, and it is to be mentioned that this shrine appears +to be surrounded by radial lines representing curved sticks +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_263">[263]</span>like those set around sand pictures of the Snake and Antelope +altars of the Snake ceremonies at Walpi.⁠<a id="FNanchor_46" href="#Footnote_46" class="fnanchor">[46]</a>⁠</p> + +<p>It is suggested +that the figure +below the +mountain sheep +(see <a href="#figure018">fig. 18</a>) +and the circles +with dots accompanying +the butterfly +and bird designs +may also +represent +shrines.

The route of +their migration is fairly well known from legendary sources supported +in late years by some limited excavations that have been made +in ruins along its course, +so that we know something +of the character of the +Snake pottery and the symbols, +which these early colonists +brought to the Bear +settlement at the base of +the East Mesa. These are +not unlike those found +along the San Juan and its +tributaries from the Mesa +Verde to Wukoki near the +Black Falls on the Little +Colorado, west of the Hopi +Mesa.</p> + +<figure class="figcenter illowp75" id="figure103" style="max-width: 21.875em;"> + <img class="w100" src="images/figure103.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption> + <p><span class="smcap">Fig. 103.</span>—Conventionalized winged bird with + shrine.</p> + </figcaption> +</figure> + +<p>This ware is commonly +either black and white, or +red, and can be readily distinguished from that of Sikyatki by the +wealth of geometrical decorations and the poverty of such animal +figures as birds, reptiles, and insects. The designs of that early epoch +appear to be uniform and hardly distinctive from those that occur +in all parts of the Southwest.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_265">[265]</span></p> + +<p>We may judge of the character of the symbols and designs on +pottery from the San Juan and from the ruins of Wukoki on the +Black Falls of Little Colorado. It is characterized by an abundance +of geometric figures and an almost total absence of life forms +or painted figures of men and animals. The pottery is thin, well +made, and sometimes colored red, but the majority of specimens are +gray or black-and-white ware not especially different from a widespread +type occurring pretty generally throughout the Southwest. +Coiled and incised ware is more abundant than smooth painted, but +these are not as varied in form as later examples. There is no evidence +available that there was any very great difference between the +Hopi pottery decorations of the first epoch and that of contemporary +time in the Southwest. When the Snake clans arrived at Walpi +they found the village of Bear people living on the terrace at the +base of the East Mesa, possessed of a symbolism like that of Sikyatki. +The combined clans, Bear and Snake, were later joined by the Horn +and Flute, and it is not unlikely that some of the likenesses between +the pottery symbols of the settlement on the terrace below Walpi +and Sikyatki may have developed about this time.⁠<a id="FNanchor_49" href="#Footnote_49" class="fnanchor">[49]</a>⁠</p> + +<p>The designs on the ceramics of the Snake clans are best illustrated +by the prehistoric pottery from ruins and cliff-dwellings in +Utah and along the San Juan area, where geometrical patterns +far outnumber those representing life forms. This does not deny +that many of the pieces of pottery from this region are finely made, +equal in technique perhaps to some of the Sikyatki, but the geometric +designs on San Juan pottery and that from Sikyatki are +radically different. This difference conforms with tradition that +the Snake clans left their homes at Tokonabi, in the San Juan +region, and came to Hopi after the foundation of Sikyatki, which +had probably developed its beautiful ceramic art before Walpi was +settled. There is no evidence that the potters of the Snake clan +ever introduced any modification in the symbolic decoration of +pottery by the women of Sikyatki.</p> + +<h3><span class="smcap">Symbols Introduced by the Snake People</span></h3> + +<p>The designs on pottery taken from prehistoric ruins of pueblos +or villages once inhabited by the Snake clans claim the archeologist’s +especial attention. These clans were the most important early additions +to the Hopi villages and no doubt influenced early Hopi +symbolism. There is little trace in early pottery that can be recognized +as peculiar to the Snake. The Snake clans formerly lived +at Betatakin, Kitsiel, and neighboring ruins.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_266">[266]</span></p> + +<p>Among many significant differences that occur between the designs +on pottery from the ruins in Navaho National Monument and +those of Sikyatki may be mentioned the rarity of bird designs and +the conventional feathers above described. Parallel lines and triangles +have been found on the pottery from Kitsiel and Betatakin. +Terraced figures are common; spirals are rare. Pottery designs +from this region are simpler and like those of the Mesa Verde cliff-houses +and the ruins along the San Juan River. Not only do the +designs on prehistoric Sikyatki pottery have little resemblance to +those from Tokonabi, a former home of the Snake clan, but the +pottery from this region of Arizona is of coarser texture and different +color. It is the same as that of the San Juan area, the decorations +on which are about uniform with those from the Mesa Verde +and Chelly Canyon. The best vases and bowls are of red or black-and-white +ware.</p> + +<p>In the pottery symbols of the clans that lived at Tokonabi (Kitsiel, +Betatakin, etc.) the archaic predominated. The passage architecturally +from the fragile-walled dwelling into Prudden’s pueblo +“unit type” had taken place, but the pottery had not yet been +greatly modified. Even after the Snake clans moved to Wukoki, +near the Black Falls of the Little Colorado, we still find the survival +of geometrical designs characteristic of the prepuebloan epoch. +Consequently when the Snake clans came to Walpi and joined the +Hopi they brought no new symbols and introduced no great changes +in symbols.

The Badger, Kachina, Asa, +and Hano clans seem to have been the most numerous and important +in modifying sociological conditions, especially at the East Mesa of +the Hopi. Some of these came directly to Walpi, others entered by +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_267">[267]</span>way of Zuñi, and still others by way of Awatobi.

Among +these clans are those known in migration legends as the Patki peoples. +Although we can not distinguish a special Patki epoch in Hopi +ceramics, we have some ideas of the nature of Patki symbolism +from large collections from Homolobi, Chevlon, and Chavez Pass. +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_268">[268]</span>From traditions and ceremonial objects now in use we also know +something of the nature of the objective symbols they introduced into +Walpi, and we can detect some of these on pottery and other objects +used in ceremonies at Walpi. Some of these symbols did not come +directly from the Little Colorado ruins, but went first to Awatobi +and from there to Walpi⁠<a id="FNanchor_52" href="#Footnote_52" class="fnanchor">[52]</a> after the destruction of the former pueblo +in the autumn of the year 1700. The arrival of southern clans at the +East Mesa with their characteristic symbols occurred approximately +in the seventeenth century, about 200 years after the date of the +discovery of Hopi by Tovar. Awatobi received the Rabbit, Tobacco, +and other clans from this migration from the south between the years +1632 and 1700, and Walpi received the Patki shortly after or at the +same time the Hano clans came from the far east. The similarities +in ancient pottery from the Little Colorado and that belonging to the +Sikyatki epoch can not be ascribed to anything more profound than +superficial contact. It is not probable that the ancient pottery of +Awatobi or that of Kawaika and other Keres pueblos on the Awatobi +mesa or in the adjacent plain was modified in any considerable degree +by incoming clans from the south, but survived the Sikyatki epoch +a century after Sikyatki had been destroyed.</p> + +<p>The advent of the clans from the Little Colorado into the Hopi +country was too late to seriously affect the classic period of Hopi +ceramics; it appears also not to have exerted any great influence on +later times. Extensive excavations made at Homolobi, Chevlon, and +Chavez Pass have revealed much pottery which gives a good idea of +the symbolism characteristic of the clans living along this valley, +which resembles in some respects the classic Hopi pottery of the time +of Sikyatki, but several of these likenesses date back to a time before +the union of the Hopi and Little Colorado clans. As a rule the bird +figures on pottery from Homolobi, Chevlon, Chavez Pass, and other +representative Little Colorado ruins are more realistic and less conventionalized +and complex than those from Sikyatki. The peculiar +forms of feathers found so constantly in the latter do not occur in the +former, nor does the sky-band with its dependent bird figure ever +occur on Little Colorado ware. We are here dealing with less-developed +conventionalism, a cruder art, and less specialized symbolism. +Even if the colors of the pottery did not at once separate them, the +expert can readily declare whether he is dealing with a bowl from +Sikyatki or Homolobi. There are, to be sure, likenesses, but well-marked +differences of local development. The resemblances and differences +in the case of bird figures on prehistoric Hopi ware and that +from the ruins on the Little Colorado can be readily shown by considering +figures 105, 106, and 107, found at Homolobi and Chevlon, and +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_269">[269]</span>the corresponding preceding bird figures. It may be interesting to +instance another example. <a href="#figure104">Figure 104</a> shows a lateral view of a bird +with wings extended, bearing marginal dentations representing feathers +on the breast and a tail composed of four triangular feathers and +two eyes, each with iris and pupil. The upper and lower jaws in this +figure are extended to form a beak, as is customary in bird designs +from the Little Colorado ruins, but never found at Sikyatki. In +<a href="#figure105">figure 105</a> we have another lateral view of a characteristic bird design +from the Little Colorado region, and <a href="#figure106">figures 106 and 107</a> show hourglass +bodies, a special feature of the same region.</p> + +<figure class="figcenter illowp75" id="figure104" style="max-width: 31.25em;"> + <img class="w100" src="images/figure104.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption> + <p><span class="smcap">Fig. 104.</span>—Lateral view of bird with double eyes.</p> + </figcaption> +</figure> + +<p>In the same way many other distinctive characteristics separating +figures of animals from the two regions might be mentioned. Those +above given may suffice to show that each is distinctive and in a way +specialized in its development, but the main reason to believe that +the clans from the Little Colorado never affected the symbolism of +Sikyatki is the fact that the latter ruin was destroyed before these +clans joined the Hopi villages.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_270">[270]</span></p> + +<p>The ruins Homolobi and Chevlon were probably inhabited well +into historic times, although there is no archeological evidence that +artifacts from them were modified by European influences.

Some of the clans, as the Tobacco, that peopled these settlements +joined Awatobi before its overthrow, while others settled at +Pakatcomo, the ruins of which near Walpi are still visible, and later +united with the people of the largest village of the East Mesa. So +far as known, Sikyatki had been destroyed before any considerable +number of people had entered +the Hopi country from the +Little Colorado,⁠<a id="FNanchor_53" href="#Footnote_53" class="fnanchor">[53]</a> the event occurring +comparatively late in +history.</p> + +<figure class="figcenter illowp75" id="figure105" style="max-width: 18.75em;"> + <img class="w100" src="images/figure105.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption> + <p><span class="smcap">Fig. 105.</span>—Lateral view of bird with double eyes.</p> + </figcaption> +</figure> + +<p>The pottery from the Little +Colorado differs from prehistoric +Hopi ware much less +with respect to geometrical +designs than life forms.

The first settlements in Zuñi Valley were made by colonists +from the Gila. There are several ceremonies in the Walpi ritual +which, like the New Fire, although immediately derived from Awatobi, +came originally from Little Colorado pueblos, and other ceremonies +came directly to Walpi from the same original source. +Among the former are those introduced by the Piba (Tobacco) clan, +which brought to Walpi a secret fraternity called the Tataukyamû. +This brotherhood came directly from Awatobi, but the Tobacco clan +from which it was derived once lived in a pueblo on the Little Colorado, +now a ruin at Chevlon, midway between Holbrook and Winslow.⁠<a id="FNanchor_55" href="#Footnote_55" class="fnanchor">[55]</a> +The identification of the Chevlon ruin with the historic +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_272">[272]</span>Chipias has an important bearing on the age of the Little Colorado +ruins, for Padre Arvide, a Franciscan missionary, was killed in 1632 +by the Chipias, who lived west of Zuñi.

While the +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_273">[273]</span>Little Colorado clans did not influence the Sikyatki pottery, they did +affect the potters of Awatobi to a limited extent and introduced some +symbols into Walpi in the middle of the seventeenth and eighteenth +centuries. Among these influences may be mentioned those derived +from Awatobi after its destruction in 1700. It is not possible to +state definitely what modifications in pottery symbols were introduced +into Walpi by the potters of the clans from Awatobi and the +Little Colorado. Possibly no considerable modification resulted +from their advent, as there was already more or less similarity in +the pottery from these geographical localities. The southern clans +introduced some novelties in ceremonies, especially in the Winter +Solstice and New-fire festivals and in the rites of the Horned Serpent +at the Spring Equinox.</p> + +<h3><span class="smcap">Symbols Introduced by the Badger and Kachina Clans</span></h3> + +<p>As the clans which came to the Hopi country from Zuñi were comparatively +late arrivals of Tewa colonists long after the destruction +of Sikyatki, their potters exerted no influence on the Sikyatki potters. +The ancient Hopi ceramic art had become extinct when the clans +from Awatobi, the pueblos on the Little Colorado, and the late Tewa, +united with the Walpi settlement on the East Mesa. The place +whence we can now obtain information of the character of the symbolism +of the Asa, Butterfly, Badger, and other Tewan clans is in +certain ceremonies at Sichomovi, a pueblo near Walpi, settled by +clans from Zuñi and often called the Zuñi pueblo by the Hopi. One +of the Sichomovi ceremonies celebrated at Oraibi and Sichomovi +on the East Mesa, in which we may find survivals of the earliest Tewa +and Zuñi symbolism, is called the Owakülti. The Sichomovi variant +of the Owakülti shows internal sociologic relation to the Butterfly or +Buli (Poli) clan resident in Awatobi before its fall. This statement +is attested by certain stone slabs excavated from Awatobi +mounds, on which are painted butterfly symbols. The Walpi Lalakoñti, +first described by the author and Mr. Owens in 1892, has also +survivals of Awatobi designs. It appears that while it is not easy +to trace any of the rich symbolism of Awatobi directly into Walpi +pottery, it is possible to discover close relations between certain +Awatobi symbols and others still employed in Walpi ceremonials. +Sikyatki and Awatobi were probably inhabited synchronously and +as kindred people had a closely allied or identical symbolism; there +is such a close relation between the designs on pottery from the two +ruins that Awatobi symbols introduced into Walpi have a close +likeness to those of Sikyatki.⁠<a id="FNanchor_57" href="#Footnote_57" class="fnanchor">[57]</a>⁠</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_274">[274]</span></p> + +<p>The natural conservatism in religious rites of all kinds has brought +it about that many of the above-mentioned designs, although abandoned +in secular life of the Hopi, still persist in paraphernalia used +in ceremonies. It is therefore pertinent to discuss some of these +religious symbols with an idea of discovering whether they are associated +with certain clans or ruins, and if so what light they shed on +prehistoric migrations. In other words, here the ethnologists can +afford us much information bearing on the significance of prehistoric +symbols.</p> + +<p>One great difficulty in interpreting the prehistoric pictures of +supernaturals depicted on ancient pottery by a comparison of the +religious paraphernalia of the modern Hopi is a complex nomenclature +of supernatural beings that has been brought about by the +perpetuation or survival of different clan names for the same being +even after union of those clans. Thus we find the same Sky god with +many others all practically aliases of one common conception. To +complicate the matter still more, different attributal names are also +sometimes used. The names Alosaka, Muyinwû, and Talatumsi are +practically different designations of the same supernatural, while +Tunwup, Ho, and Shalako appear to designate the same Sky-god +personage. Cultus heroines, as the Marau mana, Shalako mana, +Palahiko mana, and others, according as we follow one or another +of the dialects, Keres or Tewa, are used interchangeably. This +diversity in nomenclature has introduced a complexity in the Hopi +mythology which is apparent rather than real in the Hopi Pantheon, +as their many names would imply.⁠<a id="FNanchor_58" href="#Footnote_58" class="fnanchor">[58]</a> The great nature gods of sky +and earth, male and female, lightning and germination, no doubt +arose as simple transfer of a germinative idea applied to cosmic +phenomena and organic nature. The earliest creation myths were +drawn largely from analogies of human and animal birth. The +innumerable lesser or clan gods are naturally regarded as offspring +of sky and earth, and man himself is born from Mother Earth. He +was not specially created by a Great Spirit, which was foreign to +Indians unmodified by white influences.</p> + +<p>As the number of bird designs on Sikyatki pottery far outnumber +representations of other animals it is natural to interpret them by +modern bird symbols or by modern personations of birds, many +examples of which are known to the ethnological student of the Hopi.</p> + +<p>In one of a series of dances at Powamû, which occurs in February, +men and boys personate the eagle, red hawk, humming bird, owl, +cock, hen, mocking bird, quail, hawk, and other birds, each appropriately +dressed, imitating cries, and wearing an appropriate mask +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_275">[275]</span>of the birds they represent. In a dance called Pamurti, a ceremony +celebrated annually at Sichomovi, and said to have been derived +from Zuñi, personations of the same birds appear, the men of Walpi +contributing to the performance. Homovi, one of the Hopi Indians +who took part, made colored pictures representing all these birds, +which may be found reproduced in the author’s article on Hopi +katcinas.⁠<a id="FNanchor_59" href="#Footnote_59" class="fnanchor">[59]</a>⁠</p> + +<p>In the Hopi cosmogony the Sky god is thought to be father of all +gods and human beings, and when personations of the subordinate +supernaturals occur they are led to the pueblo by a personator of +this great father of all life. The celebrations of the Powamû, at +the East Mesa of the Hopi, represent the return of the ancestors or +kachinas of Walpi, while the Pamurti is the dramatization of the +return of the kachinas of Sichomovi whose ancestors were Zuñi kin.</p> + +<p>Life figures or animal forms, as birds, serpents, and insects, depicted +on Little Colorado pottery differ considerably from those on +Sikyatki ware. Take, for instance, bird designs, the most abundant +life forms on ancient pueblo pottery on the Little Colorado, as well +as at Sikyatki. It needs but a glance at the figures of the former +to show how marked the differences are. The leader of the kachinas +in the Powamû, which celebrates the return of these ancestral gods +to the pueblo, Walpi, wears an elaborate dress and helmet with appended +feathers.

This +takes for granted that the pottery +symbols characteristic of this people +are directly connected with certain +clans. There have from time to time +been sudden changes in symbols, or +previous designs have suddenly disappeared +and others have taken their +places, as well as a slow development +of existing symbols into more complicated +forms. There persist everywhere survivals of old prepuebloan +symbols inherited from the past and a creation of new +products of Hopi environment not found elsewhere.</p> + +<p>The author will close this paper with +a brief theoretical account of the unwritten +culture history of Hopi, part of +which explains certain pottery symbols. +If we take that segment of southwestern +history extending from the earliest to the +present, we find evidences of the existence +of a prepuebloan culture existing +before terraced houses were built or circular +kivas had been used for ceremonial +purposes. This epoch was antecedent to +the construction of the great walled compounds +of the Gila, illustrated by Casa +Grande. At that epoch known as the prepuebloan +there extended from Utah to the +Mexican boundary and from the Colorado to the Rio Grande a culture +architecturally characterized by small fragile-walled houses not united +or terraced. These houses were sometimes like pit dwellings, either +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_282">[282]</span>partially or wholly subterranean. When above ground their walls +were supported by upright logs in which canes or brushes were woven +and covered with mud, the roofs being made of cedar bark or straw +overlaid with adobe.</p> + +<p>The pottery of this early prehistoric epoch was smooth, painted +mainly with geometric patterns, corrugated, or indented. Rectilinear +or curved lines constituted the majority of the superficial decorations +and life designs were few or altogether wanting. In addition to +these architectural and ceramic characteristics, this prepuebloan +cultural stage was distinguished by many other features, to mention +which would take us too far afield and would be out of place in this +article. Evidences of this stage or epoch occur everywhere in the +Southwest and survival of the archaic characters enumerated are +evident in all subsequent epochs.</p> + +<p>The so-called “unit type” or pure pueblo culture grew out of this +early condition, and was at first localized in northern New Mexico +and southern Colorado, where it was autochthonous. Its essential +feature is the terraced communal house and the simplest form of the +pueblo, the “unit type,” first pointed out by Dr. T. Mitchell Prudden—a +combination of dwelling houses, with a man’s house or kiva +and a cemetery. The dwellings are made of stone or clay and are +terraced, the kiva is subterranean and circular, embedded in or +surrounded by other rooms. The “unit type” originated in Colorado +and, spreading in all directions, replaced the preexisting houses +with fragile walls. Colonists from its center extended down the +San Juan to the Hopi country and made their way easterly across +the Rio Grande and southerly to the headwaters of the Gila and +Little Colorado, where they met other clans of specialized prepuebloan +culture who had locally developed an architecture of Great +House style characteristic of the Gila and Salt River Valleys.</p> + +<p>The essential differences between the terraced pueblo and the previously +existing fragile-walled house culture are two: The terraced +architecture results from one house being constructed above another, +the kiva or subterranean ceremonial room being separated or +slightly removed from the secular houses.</p> + +<p>An explanation of the origin of the terraced pueblo is evident. +This form of house implies a limited site or a congestion of houses +on a limited area. An open plain presents no limitation in lateral +construction; there is plenty of room to expand in all directions to +accommodate the enlargement which results as a settlement increases +in population. In a cave conditions are otherwise; expansion is limited. +When the floor of the cavern is once covered with rooms the +only additions which can possibly be made must be vertically. +In protection lies the cause of the development of a terraced +architecture such as the pueblos show, for the early people constructed +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_283">[283]</span>their fragile-walled habitations in a cavern, and as an enlargement +of their numbers occurred they were obliged to construct +the terraced pueblos called cliff-dwellings, with rooms closely approximated +and constructed in terraces. In the course of time these +cliff-dwellers moved out of their caverns into the river valleys or to +the mesa summits, carrying with them the terraced architecture, +which, born in caverns, survived in their new environment. This +explanation is of course hypothetical, but not wholly without a basis +in fact, for we find survivals of the prepuebloan architecture scattered +throughout the Southwest, especially on the periphery of the +terraced house area, as well as in the area itself. The ancient terraced +house architecture is confined to a limited area, but around its +ancient border are people whose dwellings are characterized by +fragile-walled architecture. These are the survivals of the prepuebloan +culture.</p> + +<p>The environmental conditions along the San Juan and its tributaries +in Colorado and New Mexico render it a particularly favorable +culture center from which the pure pueblo type may have originated, +and although observations have not yet gone far enough to prove +that here was the place of origin of the unit type, and therefore of +pueblo culture, there are strong indications that a fable of the +Pueblos, that they came from the caves in the north, is not without +legendary foundation so far as their origin is concerned.</p> + +<p>The term “cliff-dwelling,” once supposed to indicate a distinct +stage of development, refers only to the site and is a feature inadequate +for classification or chronology. All cliff-dwellings do not +belong to the same structural type. There is little similarity save in +site between Spruce-tree House on the Mesa Verde, and Montezuma +Castle in the Verde Valley; the former belongs to the “pure pueblo +type,” the latter to another class of buildings related to “compounds” +of the tributaries of the Gila and Salt River valleys.</p> + +<hr class="chap x-ebookmaker-drop" aria-hidden="true"> + +<div class="footnotes"> + +<div class="chapter"> + +<h2 class="nobreak" id="FOOTNOTES">FOOTNOTES</h2> + +</div> + +<div class="footnote"><p><a id="Footnote_1" href="#FNanchor_1" class="label">[1]</a> A report on the field work at Sikyatki will be found in the <i>Seventeenth Ann.

The origin of this transformation was due partly to the author, +who in the year named was excavating the Sikyatki ruins and graves. Nampeo and her +husband, Lesou, came to his camp, borrowed paper and pencil, and copied many of the +ancient symbols found on the pottery vessels unearthed, and these she has reproduced on +pottery of her own manufacture many times since that date. It is therefore necessary, +at the very threshold of our study, to urge discrimination between modern and ancient +pottery in the study of Hopi ware, and careful elimination of imitations. The modern +pottery referred to is easily distinguished from the prehistoric, inasmuch as the modern +is not made with as much care or attention to detail as the ancient. Also the surface of +the modern pottery is coated with a thin slip which crackles in firing.</p></div> + +</div> + +<hr class="chap x-ebookmaker-drop" aria-hidden="true"> + +<div class="chapter"> + +<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_284">[284]</span></p> + +<h2 class="nobreak" id="AUTHORITIES_CITED">AUTHORITIES CITED</h2> + +</div> + +<p class="hanging"><span class="smcap">Fewkes, Jesse Walter.</span> Snake ceremonials at Walpi. <i>Journal of American +Ethnology and Archæology</i>, vol. <span class="allsmcap">IV</span>, pp. 1-126.
