Hopi Sakwa Ahote (Blue Ahote) Ahote may appear in any of the directional colors but the two most common colors are the yellow Ahote (Sikyahote) or the blue (Sakwahote). In a Plaza dance it is not unusual to see a line of Sakwahote with several Sikyahote, and a white or red form as well. All indications in his costume point to inspiration from a Plains-type warrior, particularly the feather headdress. Ahote may appear in the Mixed Katsina dances, or the Palolokong dances and the Plaza dance. In his left hand he very frequently carries roast or boiled corn that is given out to the audience during his performance.**
