Katsinam are the spirit beings of the Hopi, and the carved figures — long called kachina dolls — traditionally teach and honor them. Carved from a single piece of cottonwood root and painted with detailed regalia, each represents a specific katsina, from the Eagle to the Mudhead to the Long-Hair. Older "traditional" styles are simpler and flatter; contemporary "sculptural" carvings show intricate action and detail.
Every kachina The Humiovi carries is genuinely Hopi-made, acquired directly from the carver since 1972, and signed in keeping with the Indian Arts and Crafts Act. We collect and present these works with respect for their cultural and spiritual significance, documenting the carver and the katsina represented.
Cottonwood and natural pigments are sensitive to sunlight and humidity. Display kachinas out of direct sun, dust with a soft brush, and avoid handling the delicate feathers and regalia so these meaningful works endure.
