The Hopi also have their own Shalako, called Salako, but the Sio Salako is different from both the Hopi Salako and Zuni Shalako, thus there are three versions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sio Salako was introduced to the Hopis around 1850 and appeared at that time as a group of four katsinas. Since then, the number has been reduced to one katsina, and a Sio Salako Mana has been added. The pair appears very infrequently, but when they do they appear in late spring they seem to be very efficacious in bringing rain.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antique American Indian Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45877407121573,"sku":null,"price":58.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/6071\/5685\/files\/s725348264778838518_p6727_i86_w714.jpg?v=1757345996","url":"https:\/\/antiqueamericanindianart.com\/products\/201009-245-navajo-hopi-sio-salako-kachina-katsina-doll-4","provider":"Antique American Indian Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
