CHARACTERIZATION OF SINGERS<br />
ACOMA<br />
Philip Sanchez (Ho-ni-ya) (pi. 2, a) was born at Santa Ana Pueblo <strong>and</strong> was<br />
adopted at <strong>A<strong>com</strong>a</strong> as an infant. He was the only singer who required an interpreter.<br />
His songs <strong>and</strong> information were translated by Wilbert Hunt.<br />
ISLETA<br />
Anthony Lucero (Pawi'tla) (pi. 6, b) had been absent from his home in <strong>Isleta</strong><br />
only a few months when he recorded the songs here presented, <strong>and</strong> he expected<br />
to return home in a short time. He said that his <strong>com</strong>mon name is derived from<br />
a Spanish word meaning "light" or "brilliant." His native name is Pawi'tla,<br />
which was not translated.<br />
COCHITI<br />
Evergreen Tree (Ho'cuke) (pi. 6, a) is known by the English translation <strong>of</strong> his<br />
native name. He is a native <strong>of</strong> <strong>Cochiti</strong> Pueblo but is familiar with the songs <strong>of</strong> the<br />
entire region. In addition to the <strong>Cochiti</strong> songs, he recorded songs <strong>of</strong> the Zufii,<br />
Navaho, <strong>and</strong> Hopi which were transcribed but are not included in this work.<br />
Evergreen Tree has presented Pueblo songs <strong>and</strong> dances in public exhibitions for<br />
many years.<br />
ZUNI<br />
Falling Star (Mo'yatcun'ne) was born at Zufii where his father was a singer<br />
<strong>and</strong> dancer. He is also known as Tony Kaama'si, a name which has no meaning.<br />
When about 9 years old he went to the United States Government School at<br />
Sante Fe, N. Mex., remaining until he was about 16 years <strong>of</strong> age. Since that time<br />
he has lived in Zufii <strong>and</strong> taken part in all the dances, but has never been a leader<br />
<strong>of</strong> the dances. He had never taken part in a public exhibition until 1940 when<br />
these songs were recorded, <strong>and</strong> he expected to return to his quiet life in the Zufii<br />
Pueblo.<br />
