Members are summoned to the corpse with an offering of corn meal held out in the left hand, routinely associated with the dead (Stevenson 1894, 143). The body is washed by kinswomen, and dressed by kinsmen, who also bury it. Four days after burial, the priesthood handling the funeral returns to the deceased's home to send the breath-heart back to Iatiku (Corn Mother), an alter ego of both U and T, at ShipopU (White 1962, 307). Death is called the birth into ShipopU (Stevenson 1894, 143). In all, death has manly associations through the left hand, priesthoods, and involved rituals. https://kb.osu.edu/server/api/core/bitstreams/ee9bab41-7ac3-5d7d-9a53-6868de5d1fd6/content 54 https://web.archive.org/web/20250815103311/https://kb.osu.edu/server/api/core/bitstreams/ee9bab41-7ac3-5d7d-9a53-6868de5d1fd6/content Derived terms en Keresan Proper noun - en Q35878 The language or language family traditionally spoken by the Keres Pueblo people.
