"Ho'ote is an extremely popular kachina because of his well-liked songs. He appears as a group in the ordinary kachina dances and sometimes in the Niman. The symbols between his eyes and on his forehead are said to be those of flowers, and therefore his dance forecasts the flowers of spring." [Wright,1973:169]
