Kachina Dolls

Native American Kachina dolls are Native American crafts made to represent Kachina spirits, which are believed to be intermediaries between humans and the divine. These dolls are typically made from cottonwood root, or wood and decorated with feathers, fur, and other materials. They can serve as decorative items, teaching tools for children, or objects of worship and prayer. Each doll may represent a specific Kachina spirit with its own unique symbolism and teachings.
