Source term: bull-roarer
The bullroarer at Palm Springs kept to ceremony: whirled to assemble the people, and for nothing else. So testified Francisco Potencio, ceremonial head — the net — of the Kauisiktum clan, whose village stood among the palm canyons below Mount San Jacinto. Kauisiktum memory ran deep in the land: a string of sacred feathers was said to have been left near Saboba long ago, during the clan's migration to Palm Springs.
