Hopi Kachina dolls (also known as katsina or tithu in the Hopi language) are sacred carvings central to Hopi culture and spirituality, created by the Hopi people of northeastern Arizona. These dolls represent katsinam—immortal spirit beings that act as intermediaries between humans and the spiritual world, bringing rain, fertility, and harmony with nature. They embody elements of the natural world, such as clouds, animals, plants, and celestial forces, and play a key role in Hopi ceremonies held from winter solstice to mid-July.
