Salako Taka & Mana  (Hopi)

Towering up to eight feet in height, this brother and sister are most distingishable by their mask color. Salako  Taka, the brother, has a pink face, while Salako Mana, his sister, has a white face. Unlike the Zuni salakos, the  Hopi Salako ceremony is performed very rarely; the last known one was performed in 1972. It is believed that  their function is to bring the cloud and rain kachinas to the Hopi mesas and keep them there for extended  periods of time.
