Old Style Hopi Carved Hototo Traditional Guard Katsina Doll by Sean Macias

Hototo appears at all three mesas. At First and Second Mesas he is in the Bean Dance (Powamuya) and the Mixed Dance. He directs the Hopi to gather wood for the Kiva fires. He has many other roles, including those of guard, gift bearer and warrior. His name is derived from the sound he makes. This is a First Mesa Hototo.
