Some also say that she is the dominating and demanding mother to the Nataska Kachinas. In that role, she is the wife of the Chaveyo Kachina, and would be very threatening if her hunger for meat is not fulfilled. On Third Mesa, she plays another role. She offers the children somiviki, a Hopi food, and then would pour water over their head as a blessing.
