A Hopi Indian will tell you that a kachina is a supernatural being
who is impersonated by a man wearing a mask. Small wooden dolls
carved in the likenesses of the various kachinas are used to help
to teach Hopi children the tribal religion and traditions. Each
child receives a doll made especially for him by his male
relatives. He treasures the doll and studies it so that he can
learn to recognised and respect the host of spirit kachinas that
people the Hopi world. Kachinas are difficult to classify because
different Hopi pueblos have different ideas about their appearance
and their functions. The late Dr Harold Colton identified 266
different kinds of kachina dolls, and in this book he describes the
meaning, the making, and the principal features of all of them.
