Kachina dolls certainly have their artistic value and charm. And even I appreciate the beauty of such an art.

Omg they look so cute I love the teal green colors

Incredible detail.

A lovely artist highlight!

Hopi word for cottonwood roots baaco

I would love an owl one ❤

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing.

I believe in this legend, when all the katchina will dance, then end of this world come.... by the way, this is beautiful art ! I love it !

Tbh tho but I am a Navajo. Some of the Kachina 's look like fairy's by their names and how they look even by practices. But they look interesting tho.

When they say second Mesa and shows 3rd mesa

Can a Kachina Doll be repaired?

🤤🤤

Where can I buy one of these?

I first discovered Kachina in Tony Hillerman's novel "Dance Hall of the Dead." In that book it is said that the Kachina are ancestral spirits and that they belong to the Zuni. Is that correct? So do Hopi and Zuni have the same myths? A great video, congratulations.

Kinda sad how the sole purpose of making the doll is to be sold. I would never make traditional items just too sell.

Tradition or not, these dolls are art, handmade, and required a lot of effort. That deserves to be monetarily compensated. Great art isn't just given away. It's sold. And the artist deserves financial compensation not only for their effort but for their skill and choosing to share their creation with others. That deserves to be paid for / rewarded rather than taken for granted. Paying for this art, especially paying the artist that made it, is a sign that you respect their creation and what they do. Expecting they just give it away would be kind of disrespectful after all the work they put into it.

​@@Tholmes-ht8or yes. Its one thing to sell a Santa Claus and a whole different thing to sell Katchina dolls. But I see so many being sold. Im not native but it seems that there are strong reasons for these dolls not to be sold and probably not given outside of the Hopi nation. And I think it also has to do with most people not having the respect , and understanding for what they mean.

I'm hopi and I can tell how hard oil t is

X-Files brought me here! I saw the Kachina Dolls in a book in an episode of X-files. This show is making me learn so much about Native American people. You guys are really like the closest thing to magic that mankind has gotten. Probably because you respected mother earth. Why are Jewish people considered "God's chosen people" again? what a joke.

As a trans woman with both Jewish Ancestry, & Native Ancestry, I will remind you that white people are the ones responsible for the deaths of many of either! What do you know of "God's chosen" when you can't even recognize a fake child of God from real ones from all walks of life? Some Jewish Tribes and some Native Tribes both had far more than 2 gender roles and recognized those with parts that fell outside the most common, male or female. An X-files fan twerp would be an anti-semitic piece of work, wouldn't they? Do you know how embarrassed you ought to be, bringing up that rot in relation to how you learned about the existence of real people? I would trade all of white American "culture" to get back any fragments of lost Native culture, if I didn't know for a fact how insulting the very offer would be to any higher being.
