Alton Pashano, a respected Hopi master carver from Second Mesa (part of the Hopi Pueblo in northeastern Arizona). He is a member of the Corn Clan and has been carving traditional katsina dolls for over 25 years, known for his detailed, colorful work that carries on Hopi carving traditions.

Eototo is the chief of all katsinam, a spiritual counterpart to the village chief, knowledgeable in rituals, and the "father" of the katsinam. He appears during ceremonies like Powamuya (Bean Dance) to bring rain and fertility, often drawing cloud symbols with cornmeal.

Aholi serves as Eototo's lieutenant or high priest, accompanying him (especially on Third Mesa). He is known for his tall, colorful helmet and robes representing summer's vibrant blooms, aiding in rain-bringing rituals by marking spots for moisture.

Sun (Tawa) kachina represents the sun deity, symbolizing warmth, life, and growth.
