Qöqolo Katsinam appear in various colors representing the colors of the six directions-north, west, south, east, universe, and the underworld. The Sikyaqölo is the yellow one and he "is the artist, practicing the art of agrarian culture and producing the colorful gifts that he brings for children at the Powanuya ceremony." Secakuku 1995
Powamuya is a ceremony imploring the katsinam to appear among the Hopi for the benefit of life for all mankind. It begins in February at sunrise when Ahöla blesses the village and prepares it for the arrival of the katsinam.
