The Hopi Salakotaka and Salakomana appear as a pair and they tower eight or more feet tall.  They are tall and slender and without arms.  They move in a graceful manner and dip as they move slowly.  They are referred to as sister and brother.  When dancing, they are always accompanied by Hahai-i-Wuhti and the Tukwinong Katsinas.  The male and female are distinguished by the color of their moccasins-turquoise for the male and white for the female.  Both male and female have a rainbow chin and multiple turquoise necklaces.
