Hopi Kachina Doll

NA_185

 

£80.00

ex. VAT

 

Hopi Kachina dolls are traditionally carved from the roots of cottonwood trees, which once were abundant on the Hopi lands. Hopi use the word Paako for cottonwood, and it means water wood. The cottonwood root’s ability to seek and find a vast amount of water coincides with the ability of the katsinam to do the same for the Hopi people. The Hopi are communal farming people who reside on and near three mesas in northeastern Arizona. More than nine thousand Hopi live on a 1.5 million-acre reservation that encompasses a dozen villages.
