During the day, they would dance with the other kachinas, whom they led and prompted in the singing. They still appear with the other kachinas in the *Powamu Ceremony and are most often standing in a set to one side of the main movement of the procession. Occasionally, they sing as they stand holding their spruce trees and ringing their bells. * The Powamu Ceremony is also called the Bean Planting Festival. It is observed in late January or early February and lasts 8 days.
