Ahola Ahola is an important chief Katsina for both First and Second Mesa as he opens the Powamuya Ceremony with a kiva performance on the first night. Ahola and the Powamuya Chief deposit pahos (prayer feathers) at Kachina Spring, for Ahola is the ancient one of the Kachina Clan. As the ancient one he led the people from the San Francisco Peaks eastward as far as the great river and then westward to where they were stopped by the turbulent waters and where there houses still stand. After going to the Kachina Spring, Ahola and the Powamuya Chief then visit all of the kivas and houses with distributing the bean and corn plants and marking the entrances with four stripes of meal, thereby appealing to the Cloud Chiefs to sit over these places. At the end of this ceremony Ahola descends to a shrine where he bows four times to the Sun and asks for long life, health, happiness and good crop
