Navajo Kachinas

Click on any photo for a larger one.

Kachinas are representations (almost always by a man) of Native American spirits. They dance in the Kachina dances of the Hopi and Pueblo Indians. Kachina dolls are carved and clothed in their traditional costumes and implements to resemble the dancers.

Please order or reserve on-line as I have only one of each Kachina.

Large Kachinas - Navajo-made

Apache by Freda Charley

The Apache Kachina is a comic figure or caricature that may appear during the Kiva Dances both early and late, or with the Soyohim later in the year. They frequently appear in the Buffalo Dances during the Kachina season. Their actions are usually those that one would expect of Apaches on the warpath. They are often used in conjunction with the clowns.This Apache Kachina stands approximately 15" high to the tip of his headdress. He is dressed in black suede and carries two knives.

The Whipper Kachina by Keith Spencer

The Whipper Kachina (Tanqnuvik'sona) appears with the Whipper Katsinam during the Powamuya (Bean Dance) in February, and sometimes during Angk'wa in March. Their dance is very colorful and spirited demanding a lot of energy.

This Kachina is approximately 16 inches tall.
