Hopi Kachina Dolls


The Hopi tribe is one of the most respected and revered groups of people in the American Southwest. The translation of the word Hopi is believed to mean a person who behaves in a peaceful way. Throughout history, Hopi tribes' people have also made some of the most beautiful and intricate Kachina dolls.


Today's Hopi Kachina dolls pay homage to the artistry and creativity that has been handed down for generations. We carry the finest Hopi Kachinas in the world.


The Hopi Tribe is a sovereign nation that occupies northeastern Arizona in both Coconino and Navajo Counties. Hopi Kachinas have been made for a number of reasons throughout the years, including as a way to pay homage to Maasaw, an ancient caretaker of the earth. The word Kachina itself is used mostly by outsiders to describe the hundreds of spiritual entities that play an important role in the religious and cultural life of the Hopi Tribe.


Our Hopi Kachinas capture the same artistry and respect for spirituality. The quality of materials pays homage to those first Kachina dolls obtained by traders in the 19th Century. Since that time, outsiders have continually been inspired by the rich Kachina dolls history.


Many Kachina dolls are constructed from cottonwood root and even today, carvers travel far and wide to find the perfect material. Yet many of today's Kachina doll makers use a variety of wood from all over the United States. Nonetheless, the highest care is taken by artists to ensure they are using the best carving wood available.
