A Kachina (Hopi: katsina) figure is a carved representation of a spirit being from the religious traditions of the Hopi Pueblo peoples of the American Southwest. They are traditionally made from cottonwood root and painted with symbolic colors and motifs. Kachina dolls were originally created as teaching tools and gifts for Hopi children to help them learn about the many spirit beings that bring rain, fertility, protection, and other blessings.
