SYMBOLS INTRODUCED FROM AWATOBI

The women saved at Awatobi in the massacre of 1700, according to a

legend, brought to Walpi the paraphernalia of a ceremony still observed,

called the Mamzrauti. Naturally we should expect to find old Awatobi

symbolism on this paraphernalia, which is still in use. The cultus

heroine of the Mamzrauti is the Corn-mist maid, known by the name of

Shalako mana or Palahiko mana.[61] We have several representations of

this maid and their resemblance to the pictures of Shalako mana depicted

by Hano potters would imply a common Tanoan origin.
