The Winter Solstice Altars at Hano Pueblo

The midwinter rite in which the altars are employed is called Tûñtai by the Tewa, who likewise designate it by the Hopi name Soyaluña . This latter term may be regarded as a general one applied to the assemblages of different families in all the kivas of the East Mesa at that time. The name of the Tewa rite is a special one, and possibly the other families who assemble at this time once had or still retain their own names for their celebrations. The Tûñtai altars were brought by the ancestors of the present people of Hano from their old eastern home, and the rites about them are distinctly Tewan, although celebrated at the same time as the Winter Solstice ceremonies of the Hopi families.
According to traditions the following clans have lived in Hano, but it is not stated that all went to the East Mesa together from Tcewadi: Okuwuñ , Rain-cloud; Sa , Tobacco; Kolon , Corn; Tenyük , Pine; Katcina , Katcina; Nañ , Sand; Kopeeli , Pink Shell; Koyanwi , Turquoise; Kapolo , Crane; Tuñ , Sun; Ke , Bear; Te , Cottonwood; Tayek (?); Pe , Firewood; and Tceta , Bivalve shell.

Tcaper ( Tom Sawyer ) may be enrolled in this or the preceding family. He is a Paiute, without kin in Hano, and was sold when a boy as a slave by his father. His sisters were sold to the Navaho at the same time. Tcaper became the property of an Oraibi, later of a Tewa man, now dead, and so far as can be learned is the only Paiute now living at Hano.
