The Wakas'katsina is the Cow Katsina. He seems to have first appeared in the Hopi pantheon of Katsinas around 1900 and has appeared regularly since then. He represents an animal spirit messenger to the Rain gods. The songs and dance movements are prayers for rain, and are symbolic of animals' self-sacrifice in supplying food to sustain life. - Secakuku
