At all the Tewa pueblos in New Mexico, as well as at Cochiti, atSanto Domingo, and probably at other pueblos, the people are dividedinto two groups, ritually and socially complementary to each otherand sometimes politically opposed. One of these is Potowa, Cala-bash people, the other Kunsdowa, Turquoise people. At SantaClara the Potmoa are Winter people, temuiHn iowa, and their re-ligious chief is the ^ojilce.

The other, called kaivoto-pooT/wije because it is made at the kaivofo festival in February, is evidently derived from a rawhidetype; it is a flat-sided gourd transfixed by a wooden handle and painted in imitation of sewin
