Tòotsa gathers nectar among blossoms. Among the flowering plants, they care for are tobacco plant blossoms which are used in rituals to summon rain clouds to benefit all life. With the colors of the rainbow and its relationship between flowers and rain, Hummingbird carries a blessed prayer feather upon him. Below the clouds are desert mesas with petroglyphs of a rain cloud and migrations spiral, representing the travels Tòotsa takes across the southwest. Runners also inspire to be like hummingbirds for it is known for its swiftness and endurance.
