The Ho'e figure is a figure
who appears during the Powamu ceremony (or Bean Dance) and is
part of the procession which proceeds around the village. They
are known for being noisy and boisterous teases. They are constantly
disrupting the procession and the other kachinas with their games
and antics.
Constantly, the guardian kachinas
are returning to the plaza to be sure that the Ho'e are keeping
up with the pack. Finally, they are the last to give up their
games and go into the kiva.
