r an annual buffalo hunt, and henceforth were called Kohlkahin, Plains
People; while those who returned to the mountains received the name Sait
Nde, Sand People, from the pottery they made. Each of the two bands has a
sub-chief. There are no clans.

MARRIAGE--Marriage is consummated only by consent of the girl's parents.
The young man proves his worth by bringing to her family a quantity of
game, and by building a _kozhan_, which is consecrated on the night of the
wedding, by a medicine-man, with prayers to Naye{~COMBINING BREVE~}nayezgani.

ORIGIN--People, existent with the beginning of time, are guided by
Chunnaai, the Sun God, and Klenaai, the Moon God, out of an under-world
into this, where the various tribes wander about and find their several
homes.

PERSONS OF MIRACULOUS BIRTH--Naye{~COMBINING BREVE~}nayezgani, son of the virgin Yolkai
Estsan and the Sun, and Kobadjischini, son of Estsan Natleshin and Water,
perform many wonders in ridding the earth of its monsters. The former was
the more powerful and much mythology centres about him.

CEREMONIES--The Girls' Maturity observance, an annual feast whose main
features are borrowed from the Pueblos, and a four-days medicine rite are
the principal ceremonies of the Jicarillas. Numerous less important
medicine chants are held.

BURIAL--The dead, accompanied with their personal possessions, are taken to
elevated places and covered with brush and stones. Their situation is
known to only the few who bear the body away. Formerly the favorite horse
of the deceased was killed and the _kozhan_ burned, and relatives
frequently cut their hair and refrained for a time from personal
adornment.

AFTER-WORLD--When the good die their spirits are believed to go to a home
of plenty in the sky, where they hunt among great herds of buffalo. Those
who have practised "bad medicine," or sorcery, go to another part of the
sky and spend eternity in vain effort to dig through the rock into the
land of the good.
