''Kachina'' (Hopi ''Kachina'', pronounced kah-CHEE-nah) dolls are traditional, hand-carved wooden dolls made by Hopi Indians of the southwestern US. Dolls in general are called ''tihu'' (pronounced TEE-hoo) and you can combine them as ''katsintihu'' "''kachina'' doll". Each ''kachina'' doll represents a spirit or other deity or natural element. Some typical spirits represented by the Hopi in ''kachina'' dolls include the chief, the corn maiden, the ceremonial dancer, the singer, the ogre, the buffalo, the badger, the crow, the hawk, clouds, the sun, and the rainbow. You can design your ''kachina'' doll to represent anything you'd like. You can make it from pieces of wood, paint, fabric, felt, feathers, beads, and other items found around the house. | ''Kachina'' (Hopi ''Kachina'', pronounced kah-CHEE-nah) dolls are traditional, hand-carved wooden dolls made by Hopi Indians of the southwestern US.
