The society who are now exercising their calisthenics in the court has much similarity to the Koshare, yet their main functions are distinct. They are called the Cuirana.
The old man lowered his glance and sighed. "My child," he began softly, "when I was young and a boy like your son Okoya, I cared little about the Koshare. Now I have learned more."
"Why not!" His face darkened also. "Have I not told you what kind of man Tyope is?" "The girl is no Koshare," he answered evasively. "But her mother is, and he." Both became silent. Okoya stared before him; his appetite was gone; he was angry, and could not eat any more.
We recognize easily in this musician the head of the Koshare, Shyuote's late tormentor. At no great distance from the exit, the chorus comes to a halt, but the singing, gesticulation and beating of the drum proceed.
At this hour the Koshare Naua was its sole occupant. He sat on the floor, holding the drum in his lap and touching the instrument lightly from time to time. His vacant gaze was fixed upon a small heap of dying embers, nearly in the centre of the room and beneath the hatchway. Occasionally he raised his head to glance at the wall opposite him.
That position did not entail greater privations than the one which the old schemer occupied, but it secured for its incumbent much greater sway over the people, and placed him in the position to exert a degree of influence which was beyond the pale of Koshare magic. The Naua was working toward his end by ways and with means different from those employed by Tyope.
Other cave-dwellings were scattered along this trail and farther below. They were inhabited by the people of the Turquoise clan. All the Koshare had retired to this secluded spot, and the first day of fasting was nearly over when Shotaye called once more at the home of Say. The latter guessed the object of her coming and felt afraid.
They had their kiva between us and the Gourd People, but Tse-tse-yote, who had set his heart on being elected to the Warrior Band, the Uakanyi, made no secret of thinking small of the Koshare. "There was no war at that time, but the Uakanyi went down with the Salt-Gatherers to Crawling Water, once in every year between the corn-planting and the first hoeing, and as escort on the trading trips.
"So have I, and he promised to be wise." "Had we not better speak to Zashue?" suggested Say Koitza. Hayoue remained thoughtful for a while; then he said, "I dislike to say aught against my own brother, but in this matter I dislike to speak to him." "He is Okoya's father," objected Say. "True, but he is Koshare, and completely under Tyope's influence.
He and the Hishtanyi Chayan, who to some extent was his trusty friend, felt that a tempest was coming. Both saw that the disturbing powers were rooted in the society of the Koshare, that Tyope and the Naua must be the leading spirits. But how and to what ultimate end the machinations were intended escaped their penetration.
