Tsitoto is seen most often in the Powamuya or Bean Dance. During this ceremony, which is in February, the Kachinas arrive in force to help the Hopi people prepare for the next growing season. In addition, children between the ages of six and ten years old are initiated into the Powamuya Society. They then are allowed to participate in the Kachina performances |
