The shield which the Asa carried before the Mohkiva altar had a star painted upon it.

The Kokop and Tciia families, in the Nacadkiva, had no altar, but on the floor of the kiva there was a stone image which was said to have come from the ancient pueblo of Sikyatki, a former village of the Kokop people.

There was no altar in the Alkiva, but the Ala (Horn) clan which met there had a stone image of Puukofihoya, and on the shield which they used in the Moiikiva there was a picture of Alosaka.

They still practice stick-swallowing. Pautiwa is chief of the Kalektaka % a warrior priesthood. He be- longs to the Eagle clan of the Pakab phratry, which may be related to the Awata or Bow clan of the former pueblo of Awatobi.
