To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
MODERN PUEBLOS. 117 The Snake Dance. The most widely known of these ceremonies is the snake dance, which is held every second year in all the Hopi pueblos except Hano and Sichumovi. The dances of Walpi and Oraibi are those which attract the largest number of visitors. The ceremony is given jointly by the antelope and snake fraternities. The former are concerned chiefly with the rites in the kiva, while the latter, originally a warrior society, gather and handle the snakes. To secure the snakes ...the snake priests go out in pairs provided with digging-sticks, with snake whips of feathers and with bags of buckskin or canvas. The first day they go to the north, the second to the west, the third to the south, and the fourth to the east, for this is the ceremonial circuit of the Hopi. If a suffi ciently large number is not secured during the four days, snakes are sought in any place and at any time until enough are found. Those used are chiefly rattle snakes but bull snakes and others are also employed.
