Wupamo appears on all three Mesas as a guard. He appears in the Powamu procession making sure there are no stragglers. On First Mesa he is one of the Furious Katsinam and is often restrained by the Koyemsi. Wupamo also enforces community work such as cleaning the springs. This is a most important Katsina. A truly fine example.
