The Hopi Indians believe that the Kachina is a super-natural being who is impersonated by a man wearinga mask. The Kachinas are similar to Christian saintsand are supposed to carry prayers to the Hopi godsthat live on the San Francisco Peaks of Arizona andother high mountains.

Hopi children believe in Kachinas just as manychildren do in Santa Claus; and as Santa Claus comesat a certain season bearing gifts, so certain Kachinasbring Kachina dolls which are small representationsof the supernatural beings.

The dolls are hand-carved from dry cottonwoodroots and painted in bright colors. There are about200 different classifications of Kachina dolls and formany years they have been treasured items of Indianlore.

Kachina Doll, by E. I. Couse, N.A., is from theSanta Fe Railway collection of paintings featuringIndians of the Southwest.
