[60] The mound from which it was obtained is close to the base of the foothills eastward from Walpi, and all the sand for all the kivas was obtained from this particular mound.
[61] During the festival the women clip the hair of their children. The hair is cut over the entire cranium of the little boys, but in the case of the girls a fringe is left around the base of the head, especially on each side, for the characteristic whorls worn by maidens.
[62] The gap in the East mesa, known as Wala, whence the name of the pueblo of Walpi at the western end of the same height.

[64] At the tip of the lowest tail feather on each side a nakwákwoci stained with cúta was hung.
[65] Natácka carried a handsaw in the left hand.
[66] Bandoleer.
[67] Hahaíwüqti did not enter any of the houses, but merely went up the ladder two or three rungs and stood there just high enough to bring her helmet on a level with the first terrace. She then gave her shrill hoot, and when the women had brought out their children spoke to them in high falsetto.
[68] A figure of Tuñwúpkachina with his pet (pókema) appears on the reredos of the altar of the Nimánkatcina. (See Journal of American Ethnology and Archæology, vol. II, No. 1.)
