Located on Antelope Mesa, Awatovi was destroyed by rival factions from other villages who opposed the adoption of catholicism into the tribe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, all that is left of the old village are bits and pieces from the old stone dwellings and dug-outs which were once used as kivas. One legend has it that it eats everything in its path, especially Koyemsi and Koshari clowns. It is always on a relentless search for \"food\" and the clowns fear it. The story does have a happy ending, however, the clowns always escape and the Scavenger has to look elsewhere for food.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antique American Indian Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45877502640293,"sku":"191003-25","price":1200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/6071\/5685\/files\/191003-25_2.jpg?v=1770671971","url":"https:\/\/antiqueamericanindianart.com\/products\/191003-25-hopi-kachina-katsina-15-1-2-scavenger-ooh-hu-hu-mihpi-chapella-91","provider":"Antique American Indian Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
