DRUMS- Indian drums add much to the excitem,ent and pace of Indian ceremonials. There is something
compelling in the «boom-boom" of a big drum) sounding in the night)· but smaller ones~ such as the one
pictured abo ve , have their definite uses. Very few Indian dances are "put on)) without a drummer to es­tablish
the beat. However) chanting takes the place of a drum in some instances.

The Pow--Wow
WHO STAGE'S IT?
More than 10,000 Indians representing a score or
more of southwestern and western tribes swarm to Flag­staff
early in July to put on the great tribal get-together,
the outhwest All-Indian Pow-Wow.
INDIAN CAMP
One of the most interesting features of the Pow­Wow
is the huge Indian camp in the pine forest sur­rounding
the Pow-Wow grounds. You will enjoy walk­ing
through the camp, but before you take any pic­tures,
be sure and secure permission from the Indians.
If you treat them with proper respect and friendliness,
you'll find they quickly respond.
GENERAL INFO'RMATION
A non-profit organization of Flagstaff businessmen,
"Pow-Wow, Inc.," handles the countless details which
go into preparation of the big three-day celebration.
These men devote many weeks each year to carrying
on this work, which results in the fast-moving, exciting,
colorful events making up the big show. They work
ntirely without pay.
Who Are Members of the Pow-Wow
Com m i tt.ee?
A group of Flagstaff men stage the Pow-Wow, as­sisting
the Indians in planning events, arranging for ac­commodations,
preparing the programs and in other
ways. Members this year include Al C. Grasmoen, op­erator
of facilities at the famous Arizona Snow Bowl,
chairman; Ted Babbitt, merchant; Neil V. Christensen,
attorney; Andy Wolf, insurance man; Bill Fennell, ap­pliance
dealer; Robert W. Prochnow, businessman and
member of the Arizona State Senate; Sturgeon Cromer,
uperintendent of schools. Secretary is Noel Miller. Wolf
serves as announcer for the various events.
PRETTY GIRLS-Pretty Hopi ~irls would be pretty whatever their costume~ but these girls are especial­ly
attractive in old-time blanket dresses, modern silk blouses protecting their shoulders from the scratchy
wool. The bulkiness about their waists is caused by the ceremonial wedding sashes they are wearing, the
fringe showing below the outer garment.

It's summer. Fourth of July week. The sun is sink­ing

Navajo Artists
Examples of the work of some of the best known
Navajo artists are featured in this issue of the South­western
All-Indian Pow-Wow Magazine. Among those
whose work appears here are Beatien Yazz, Andy Tsih­nahjinnie,
Charlie Lee, Keetsie Shirley, Ed Lee Natay,
Stanley Battese, Quincy Tahoma, Gerald Nailor, Har­rison
Begay and Ha-So-De (Narcisco Abeyta).
Beatien Yazz, the well-known "Little No Shirt" of
the fascinating book, "Spin a Silver Dollar," has been
painting with increasing excellence since he was eight
years old. The book tells how traders at Wide Ruins dis­covered
the talent of the child and gave him paper, pen­cils,
crayons and watercolors, so that he could lay aside
the sharp rock which had been his only means of ex­pressing
his ideas.
His desert animals and delicate blue horses in­trigued
all who saw them, not only because of their
lifelike representation, but because of a sharpness of
detail that was all-Indian and distinctive.
He was born on the Navajo Reservation in 1926,
served during World War II with the avajo Signal
Corps of the U. S. Marines, and in 1943 was sent to
the anta Fe Indian Art School, Santa Fe, . M., where
he was encouraged to continue his work in his own in­dividual
style.
Quincy Tahoma, born in 1922 on the Reservation,
is also one of the young Navajo artists who has received
encouragement at the anta Fe school and from both
white and Indian artists.
His work was also interrupted by service in the
Army during World War II, but since then he has
forged ahead and his work is widely exhibited, both
here and abroad.
avajos, who live in the desolate desert land and
depend on their horses for transportation, seem to have
an affinity for the animals that extends into their artis­tic
creations. Quincv Tahoma. like Beatien Yazz, seems
to have a decided liking for blue hor es. He is a master
of anatomY, as evidenc~d in his painting, "The Winner
Takes An." in this jssue. Here the blue stallion and the
black stallion with the blue mane and tail are about to
do battle, the winner of the bloody encounter to take
over the other's following of mares and young stock.
Most interesting is Tahoma's signature in the lower
right hand which depicts the stallions in combat, a
graphic, though miniature, work of art above the word
"Tahoma. "
Those who own painting done by Gerald Nailor
cherish them, not only for their delicate execution and
interesting subjects, but because ailor's promising ca­reer
was brought to an abrupt end in 1952, when he
was murdered by a drunken assailant. His work shows
his interest in design and his animals are stylized and
decorative. His avajo women are often delicate and
beautiful as in "Navajo Family," featured here.
"Big Ears" and " quaw Dance" are paintings by
Andy Tsihnahjinnie, who was born near Chinle in 1912.
He also studied at Santa Fe Indian Art School and was

VISITING MATRON- With the utmost confi­dence
and dignity this visiting matron from New Mex­ico's
famous sky villages balances a beautifully deco­rated
piece of pottery on her head. The wide sleeves
of her blouse show the Spanish influence, but she
wears a hand-woven blanket dress, common to Pueblo
people. She also wears a ceremonial sash and her
heavy necklaces and big rings would net her a small
fortune should she care to sell them.
a soldier, serving with the Fifth Air Force in the South
Pacific, and with the avajo ignal Corps.
Collectors claim that his work is distinctly indi­vidual,
with odd color schemes and dramatic impact,
and with the Oriental mood which is outstanding in all
avajo paintings. The avajo children, however, had
never seen an Oriental painting when they were be­ginning
their own first sketches, so the competent ar­tists
they have become were not influenced by anything
other than their own natural leanings. One of the re­semblances
between Chinese and Japanese paintings and
those of Navajo artists is the uncluttered simplicity and
the true, sharp delineations of plant forms and land­scapes.
Ha- o-De, who is better known in Gallup as Nar­ci.
co Abevta, depicts force and a bold and simple de­sign
with' dramatic effectiveness. He served with the
Rangers in the South Pacific during the War and was
shell-shocked and wounded in battle.
Keetsie hirley, noted for his brush work, is a mas­ter
with horses in action, as shown by "Stampede." The
galloping horses are beautifully modeled and seem to be
coming on in a great wave of force and beauty of line.
Shirley's name, "Keetsie," means "small one." He
was so named because of his smallness at birth.

GRAPHIC EXAMPLES- The young dancers above are graphic examples of the agility of the Indian.
Indian youth is rapidly being absorbed into the culture of the white brother. Before too long a time, as
years are counted) the meanings that lie behind the fantastic costumes worn during Indian dances will be
lost to the younger men and women.

Superstitions
Superstition plays an important part in the live
of Indian people, but some of these superstitions seem
to have had a definite and well-grounded reason for
their initiation, and a direct bearing on the health and
welfare of the people.
For instance, the Navajo fear of death. This super­stitious
fear of the evil spirits (disease?) in the corpse
may have prevented epidemics in times pa~t. Traders
and missionaries are often asked by the Navajos to serve
as undertakers. Not only do they fear being in contact
with the dead, but should they be forced to bury a
corpse they must undergo a four-day rigorous purifica­tion
rite before joining their families or other members
of the tribe.
In ancient times, before there were doctors to help
prevent epidemics, this provision seems to have been
a very wise one.
The construction of the Navajo "hogan" is so sim­ple
that a new one takes very little time an? material.
Juniper logs for the walls and roof are easl~y ~ecured
from the forests and mud is everywhere for chmkmg the
interstices between the logs. When there is no white man
near to bury the dead, a dying person may be carried
outside before his demise, thereby saving the hogan. If
someone dies in the hogan a hole is cut in the north wall
for removal of the corpse, and the hogan is burned.
There are times when the corpse is left in the ho-
BEAUTIFUL BABE-If this future belle of the Na­vajo
people is to be a candidate in the babies' beauty
contest, she must have her soft black hair washed to
hining cleanliness before she is presented. Her moth­er's
face, bent above the child, is alive and alight
with modest pride in this pretty little one.
9
And Taboos
gan, the family moving out and securing the door with
a certain knot, called the "death knot," that warns oth­ers
away.
The horned toad is greatly revered among the Na­vajo
who take care not to step on one of the creatures,
Ie t they be stepping on the spirit of an ancestor.
A missionary related to the writer an instance of
uperstition connected with this little desert resident.
A female toad was giving birth to her many young
and seeing what was happening, a Navajo woman called
other women to the scene. Carefully, as each little toad
was born, the women sprinkled dust on them and, after
the mother toad had departed with her brood, they
gathered up the dust at the birth spot and poured it into
a small leather pouch.
"What are you going to do with that dust?" the
missionary asked.
"Oh, it is very strong medicine," one of them vol­unteered.
"We will keep it to help women have their
babies easily, as the toad does."
One of the most widely known taboos of the Na­vajo
is the "mother-in-law" taboo.
It is a Navajo belief that a man must not look upon
hi mother-in-law, and that to corne face to face with
her will cause him to go blind. The mothers-in-law at
one time cooperated by wearing warning bells on their
clothing.
Ahollt 20 vears ag;o a Winslow resident, recentlv
~rrived from the e~st. was horrified to see a Navalo
dowae-er slldden Iv fall to the sidewalk and cover her
he;:jd with her blanket. She discovered that the woman
had not suffered a seizure of some sort, but had sudden­ly
been told that her son-in-law was approaching.
Navajo newlywed of the old tradition will not
move into their new home without a "Blessing Way
Ceremony," performed by a Medicine Man, to take
away any evil spirit or curses the hogan may hold.
Sacred corn meal is tossed up through the smokehole, to
the four directions and around the floor to provide a
purified atmosphere for the beginning of their married
life.
Tourists are often provoked when a Navajo they
have singled out for a candid photo turns away or cov­ers
his face just as the photo is snapped. They do not
understand that the Navajo, if he is educated, believes
that the photographer should ask his permission as a
matter of courtesy. If he is not educated and is still held
by superstitions, he probably believes that the picture
may be used as a curse on him by an enemy. Hair comb­ings
and fingernail paring are carefully burned for the
same reason.
Coyotes are often synonymous with evil spirits in the
minds of the Navajo, hence the fear of traveling in
darkness when coyotes may be sneaking about nearby.
Mother Earth must not be angered by the digging
necessary for the planting of crops and, to appease her,
planting ceremonies are held in the spring.
The Thunder God sometimes lashes out with bolts
of lightning, therefore it behooves a Navajo to be quiet
during a thunder and lightning storm, lest the bolt strike
him.

at hand to their various uses. This is especially true in clothing. The Plains women made beautiful dress­es
of soft doeskin) bleached to sparkling whiteness and decorated with fringe) beadwork) elk teeth and
other ornaments. The Navajos) living in warmer country) wear full skirts of satin suitable for horseback rid­ing)

Kachina Dances And Mudhead Clowns
Of all the interesting and spectacular Kachina
dances to be seen on the Hopi Reservation, the Niman
(Going Home) Dance of the summer solstice is perhaps
the most appealing.
At that time the Kachinas are presumed to be go­ing
home to their resting place on the San Francisco
Peaks, after the busy schedule of dances in the sky-vil­lages.
The thought of saying goodbye is always touching;
the Hopi people see in this departure not only the end of
a season of color and activity and social gatherings, but
the ending of summer. For a time the earth will be
dead and dull. This knowledge is brought to them with
increased force during the Niman Dance. There is a
natural desire in them to delay this moment.
If it were not for the lively Mudhead clowns the
Niman Dances might be even more touching. The Mud­heads,
or Koyemsis, as they are called, add gaiety to
this festive affair.
They are called Mudheads because of their pecu­liar
masks. These earth-colored, simple contraption
have two holes for eyes, a doughnut-shaped mouth,
round knobs for ear and a larger round knob on top of
the mask.
Feather dangle from the ear knobs and sometime
the topknot is also adorned with feathers. Aside from
this the Mudhead costume consists of a ruff about the
neck, moccasins, a kilt and plenty of 'earth-colored body
paint.
The effect is humorous. In fact, the Mudheads
have a simple look about them that makes the little
children giggle with joy and older people smile good­humoredly.
Often the Mudheads go about in pairs, one dressed
as a woman. Sometimes one carries a drum, to the beat­ing
of which the second of the pair is supposed to keep
time. His efforts to keep up with the purpo efully un­even
and constantly changing drum-beat is one suc­cessful
device for stirring spectators to laughter.
The Mudheads work out clever little pantomime
which they enact for the amusement of their audienc ,
and the Hopis, understanding the dumb play fully, go
into gales of politely stifled mirth.
White spectators are often taken off by the Mud­heads,
this being their opportunity to make fun of any­one
without censure. There are times when the clown-

ing is done in a very crude manner. Sometimes the very
fact that the white spectator doesn't know what is meant
prevents him from taking offense.
Quite often little children are allowed to take part
in the Mudhead clowning. A group of small boys, some
of them dressed a girl will be co tum d by brother

ince kill i not the point, and the more clumsy
and inept they appear the funnier they are, the little
Mudheads are greatly enjoyed, especially by other chil­dren.
The mesa children look forward to the coming of
the Mudheads. The imple creatures have captured
their imagination. They ee Koyemsis in everything.
Spotting a knobby concretion in the sandstone, they
are apt to run to pry it loose so that it can be carried
home.
"See! I've found some Mudhead ears," they may
ay.
They point out to each other faces in the cliffs,
aying, ' Look! A Koyem i i staring at u ."
Each Hopi village ha it own Niman ance, but
the dance are attended by people from th other vil­lao
·e . .

child in the village. Not one little fellow is overlooked.
The gifts range from a stalk of corn with roasting ears
on it, to melons, green beans and other produce from
Hopi aardens. And, in the e day, Hopi parents also
buy toys from the stores to add to the pleasure of their
children at the ceremony.
To watch the long line of Kachinas as they come
up over the edge of the mesa at unrise is a privilege.

EXTREMES-Extremes in costumes are the rule at the Pow-Wow, especially among the dancers. Above,
left~ Hopi dancers who have never seen a buffalo except in parks and zoos, prepare to dance the legendary
Buffalo Dance of their people. Except for the buffalo horns and hair of their headdress, they are skimp­ily,
though colorfully, clothed. In decided contrast are the Zuni girls at right, above, who not onlv wear a
great deal on their heads but plenty of clothing, as well. H onon go to the Navajo Fire Dancers, lower
right, for wearing the least. Their costume consists of very little beside a thick daubing of mud to protect
them from the flames through which they run.

KACHINA DANCES-
(Continued from Pa.~e 14)
tablitas, evergreen branche serving as overskirt for
their ceremonial kilts and ruffs of spruce or cedar about
their necks. they move in single file to the clatter of
tortoise shell and deer-claw ornaments, following a line
of sacred cornmeal laid down by a leader of the village.
In their arms they carry the first of the summer
harvest: stalks of corn pulled out of the ground, roots
and all; green and white striped watermelons; early
peaches on plaques; plaques of beans, beets and other
produce, which they will later distribute to the children.
The children hold the Kachina in awe. They have
been taught that the e are per onages from a far away
other world and know no different until they are initi­ated
into the Kachina cult, when they learn that these
beings are their male relative in co tume. Therefore,
they receive their gifts with respect, dashing off to show
their mothers what they have been given.
·Hopis say this is only the beginning of the child's
happiness. There is another surprise awaitin~ it.
After examining the Kachina-given gift the mother
is apt to say: "This is beautiful. Now go put it on the
floor with the other gifts of your brothers and sisters and
we will cover them with a blanket. The Kachinas will
work under the blanket and perhaps there will be some­thing

dressed in women's costumes, and enacting the part of
sisters or sweethearts of the Kachinas.
The Kachina dances are actually beautifully con­ceived
pageants, performed for the in truction and leg­endary
information of the people. They are a deligh t

part of the performer .
They serve as opportunitie for the Hopi people to
meet socially; give them an unending interest in their
tribal life, and allow the performers to show off their

people) who see in them the fine qualities of
bravery and strength. Eagle feathers are cherished by
Indians for use in ceremonials and in making decora­tionl~

skill in a manner which will not be criticized by their
fellows.
When the Hopis discontinue these dances that have
survived centuries- if they ever do-they will lose a
great deal of their individuality as a tribe.
I t is doubtful if they would ever find another ac­tivity
which would give them, as a people, such pleas­ure
and satisfaction.

Hopi Bread 'Demands Skill
I t would be interesting to know how the first Hopi
woman learned to make "piki," the paper-thin, melt-in­your-
mouth daily bread of the old-time Hopi.
To watch a present-day Hopi woman engaging in
piki-making is to decide that surely there must have
been an easier way of providing nourishment for a
family.
To begin with, getting a piki stone ready for use
means slow labor on the part of the woman's husband
or father. When it has been correctly sized, smoothed
and tempered, it graces the piki room and is usually in
use for many years.
The piki batter is made with corn meal ground to
flour-like fineness, and water, seasoned sometimes with
a little water which has been poured over burned sage.
Blue cornmeal is the preference of the true Hopi, though
for commercial con umption white meal is tinted pink,
yellow and red with food coloring.
With her bowl of batter, which is very thin, the
H opi piki-maker kneels before her piki stone, beneath
which a bed of coals glows. With a deft movement she
swipes her batter-covered palm across the hot stone.
The film of batter makes a tissue over the stone. As
the edge begins to curl the piki-maker takes it gently
between her fingers and lifts the entire sheet from the
stone. Then, once more, she swiftly- becau e to linger is
to burn her hand- covers the stone with batter and
lays the finished sheet on it, lifting it and folding it as
team from the new layer softens it.
oon, by this process, she has a plaque stacked with
rolls of the delicate bread.
Piki is indispensable at wedding fea ts and on other
ceremonial occasions in Hopi Villages. But girls no long­erwant
to excell as piki makers. They have attended the
white man's schools and do not like the learning period
at the piki stone. Usually, this entail blisters on the
tender palms of the uninitiated.
trangely, perhaps, it is the white per on who is
learning to like piki. Each year more and more of the
rolls are made at the H opi craftsmanship shows at the
Mu eum of Northern Arizona near Flagstaff for sale to
spectators. Also, piki-makers on the re ervation are be­ing
asked to supply piki for people who have had a sam­ple,
liked it, and now want a larger supply for them­selves
and their friends.
Perhaps, with an increased demand for it, Hopi
women will learn an easier method of spreading the
batter and take away the most disagreeable part of the
work.

5UPERSTITIOINS AND TABOOS-
(Continued from Page 9)
Navajos are a happy and convivial people, but the
white man sometimes thinks them shy because they
speak in soft voices, this being a mark of politeness. Un­der
the influence of wine or stronger beverages they are
apt to forget this early training and talk loudly. How­ever,
in Indian Country, the picture the tourist carries
away with him is that of a very colorful and usually
fine-looking Indian, who goes about his busine s quiet­ly
and inoffensively.
Hopi people also have their superstition. One of
them is concerned ·with the water serpent.
Naturally, since water is such a vital part of their
lives, they want to keep its source pure. This may be,
at least in part, why they are taught to believe that the
water serpent is in the spring and is watching them.
Since he is a potent creature and capable of much harm
to them they are taught to be quiet when they approach
a spring. With a prayer to the snake not to harm them,
they dip water into their water jugs and leave with
downcast eyes.
No one would dare bathe in the spring within sight
of the orifice from which the water gushes. To do so
would be to tempt fate.
Broken taboos are the supposed cause for the fail­ure
of ceremonials, both Navajo and Hopi.
"Someone had bad thoughts," is the remark made
after a Snake Dance fails to produce rain. Or, "Some­one
didn't do his part according to the way of the fa­thers."
The Navajos have a "sing" to remedy matters when
they seem to have gotten out of hand due to a broken
taboo. A Medicine Man, with powerful medicine, ex­orcises
the evil spirits and the people go about their life
happily, knowing all is well.
Navajo hogans face east, as travelers often remark
with some surprise. This is because the Navajos, in com­mon
with most Indian people, look to the sun as life­giver,
since without its warmth no food would grow.
In many ways, customs point up this reverence for
the sun. The circular hogan is one way. Not only is it
round, it also has a round smokehole in the center of the
roof and the food is cooked at a mall round stove;
sometimes made of an oil drum.
Also, most Indians look at the rainbow with plea -
ure, ince it symbolizes o·ood.
