Corn
The Supernaturals
also warn him of taboos connected with the use of corn. It should not be cooked
until it is ripe nor eaten before it is fully cooked, or frost and floods will
damage the crop. In the "vigil of the corn" ceremony the corn is fed
with dried meat; if it were to be fed with corn it would thus consume itself,
just as feeding meat to the masks would cause men to eat each other. When giving
this warning Talking God refers to the time that ugly woman fed corn to the corn
with result that " the people starved and men ate the flesh of other men."? More about this legend
Pottery

are relatively recent arrivals to the Southwest. They probably migrated from the
north in the 16th Century thereby becoming a part of the Pueblo IV period. The
Navajo have made pottery since their arrival; possibly they brought pottery with
them during their southern migration. They made a plain and decorated pottery.
The plain being considered the older style? More about this legend
