chʾilhaang-yaatciin awar"Early the next morning stakes were placed at thirty yards' distance and shot at. After hitting these targets the band rushed off to combat. Once the enemy was sighted, it was deemed essential to arouse their anger. All joined in taunting the foe, except the chief, who merely talked to his own people. A scalp was produced, tossed from one warrior to another, and exhibited to possible relatives among the enemy. The Kato would taunt, "He is here. He is all right. He has just come to see you." (cuncone conan tietce kanastiai ye, he good, he sees you, he has come back again.)
In fighting, the forces were ranged in two long rows, and surged backward and forward. Close combat was avoided. The only weapons used were the bow and arrow and the deer-hide sling (sintoʟ). The warriors kept shooting and dodging sidewise as if dancing. If any one fell, his comrades tried to recover the body while the enemy rushed forward to obtain the scalp. Mortalities were never heavy; in the war recorded by Kroeber six men were killed on one side during one battle and three on the other." (Loeb, p.17)

chʾilhgain awar attire, "with something white""Special attire was worn for war. The Kato painted themselves with red ochre and put black charcoal across their foreheads. Fine white braided feathers of the eagle or owl were worn across the head. The customary double deer-hide aprons were worn and the deer-hide anklets and wristlets. Hair nets decorated with buzzard feathers were worn. The war attire was called tcuʟkai (with white)."
