The fetich is placed between the heads. The
others of the K[=o]k-k[=o] repair to their respective kivas, the
H[=e]-i-i-que or Kiva of the North, the Moo-h[=e]-i-que or Kiva of the
West, the Choo-p[=a]-ae-que or Kiva of the South, the [=O]h-h[=e]-i-que
or Kiva of the East, and the Oop-ts[=a]n-[=a]-[=a]-que or Kiva
of the Heavens. From each of these kivas men and youths from the
secret orders to which I have referred are assembled to receive the
K[=o]k-k[=o]. When all the K[=o]k-k[=o] have gone to their kivas, the
ten K[=o]-y[=e]-m[=e]-shi, who reach the village after the others, go
to their house, which is not one of the sacred assembly houses, but
chosen from among the S[=u]s-ki-i-que, or people of the Wolf gens.
The K[=o]k-k[=o] sing and dance in their own kivas, then change about,
those of the North passing to the West and those of the West going to
the South, and so on. This is continuous until the first white streak
warns them that day is approaching. At this time the head of the
K[=o]-l[=o]-oo-w[)i]t-si is put through the opening in the side
wall of the kiva, when all who choose may look upon it. Behind this
creature the old priest stands and blows through the body, making the
same peculiar noise, representing the roaring of a sea monster, that
he has kept up throughout the night. The image is only seen by the
uncertain light of the faintest impression of day. P[=a]-oo-t[=i]-wa
remains with the K[=o]-l[=o]-oo-w[)i]t-si in the Kiva of the Earth.
