Like most animal Katsinam, the Buffalo (Mosairu) dances to increase his kind. This Katsina is very well known and is most powerful. He can kill any evil thoughts and is a great spiritual protector.This White Buffalo Dancer is a social dancer.
There are hundreds of Hopi Katsinam, \"personations\" of supernatural beings, important animals and ancestors who help the Hopi people raise their crops, their children, and their spirits. The Katsina dancers are men wearing masks--each of which represents a particular Katsina--and paint and feathered costumes. Everyone in the village, aside from the children, knows that the Katsina dancers are actually men from the village, though Katsinam are still believed to have supernatural powers. Much of the value in these dances is found to be instructing the young. Signed and numbered.
