The kachina dancers are sacred and represent the rain gods. |
A modern relic of early culture, the kachina doll of the Pueblo Indians, while essentially an instructive sacred object, is played with by children as a means to learn the myths of their culture. |
This style is also worn by the Longhair kachina, one of the important Hopi spirits who live in the Peaks and bring rain to Hopiland. |
The name of this kachina was Hair Eater, and he was supposed to cut off the hair if he beat the boy, but he never did beat him. |
They will allow themselves to be seen by a community if its men properly perform a traditional ritual while wearing kachina masks and other regalia. |
The array of historical treasures range from a butterfly kachina to a buckskin dress. |
