FOR MORE INFO PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL Kachina Dolls and The Hopi Native American
The Hopi Native American Tribe has always valued kachina dolls because kachina spirits are
extremely important to their evryday life. Kachina dolls are made in the image of various
kachina spirits which the Hopi worship.The kiva has been at the heart of Hopi tradition for over one thousand years. Kiva ceremonies
take place in sacred, round ceremonial chambers. Hopi Native Americans believe life began in
the kivas. The Hopi believes that first people to live on earth left their dark home in the
earth\'s interior and climbed from the kiva upward toward the light and the present world.
They also believe they will return to the underworld after death.Kachinas were the spiritual beings who taught the Hopis how to live on earth after their
emergence. The kachina dolls are religious icons. They represent the spiritual essence of
everything in the world. In a way they\'re like statues of saints. The word \"Kachina,\" Katsina
or Qatsina, means \"life Bringer,\" in the Hopi language.Among the Native American tribes like the Zuni, Apache and Hopi living in the Pueblos of the
Southwest, the rain deity kachina is a spirit who is responsible for their survival. Without the
kachinas help, water in the rivers will not flow and the crops will not be abundant.Native American kachina carvers use cottonwood root, which is carved and painted to
represent objects from Hopi spiritual beliefs. As far back as the 16th century, the Spanish wrote about seeing bizarre images of the devil,
most likely kachina dolls, hanging in Pueblo homes. Older style kachinas are usually adorned
with fur, bird feathers, turquoise and other natural elements to make them look realistic.The first kachina doll was collected from the Hopi in 1857 by Dr. Palmer, a U.S. Army surgeon.
He presented it to the National Museum. Military men and government agents were
fascinated by the dolls from the beginning. Unfortunately, the Hopi sold them.
