Wupamo is both a chief and a guard. He appears as a guard during the Bean Dance, but he may also serve in this same capacity at secret ceremonies in the kivas or assist with the cleaning of the springs by keeping the men on the job. During Powamu he may be seen patrolling the procession to keep the onlookers clear of the route or urging the laggard clowns onward.

BY THE WAY - WATCH OUT FOR ALL THE FAKE " HOPI KACHINA MASKS "  OR " NATIVE AMERICAN HOPI PUEBLO MASKS ", ALSO BEING LISTED AS " HOOD" OR "HELMET" ON EBAY LATELY - THESE ARE MADE IN AFRICA (SOLD FROM EUROPE, i.e. POLAND), MADE TO LOOK OLD, BUT ARE POOR CONTEMPORARY REPRODUCTIONS. MOST OF THEM DO NOT EVEN ACTUALLY LOOK LIKE THE REAL KACHINA MASKS BUT ARE BEING SOLD TO NAIVE BUYERS AS AUTHENTIC. CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS BUT RESEARCH OLD AND AUTHENTIC HOPI KACHINA MASKS AND KACHINAS SO YOU DO NOT GET RIPPED OFF - EBAY IS A BUYER BEWARE MARKET FOR THESE ITEMS!!!
THERE ARE SOME FAKE KACHINAS ON EBAY NOW TOO - CONTEMPORARY AND FRAUDULENT BUT MADE TOO LOOK OLD. BE SURE TO RESEARCH AND LOOK AT ESTABLISHED REFERENCE BOOKS FOR THE TRADITIONAL KACHINA TYPES, FORMS AND MATERIALS USED .... FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT A SPECIFIC KACHINA
