Traditionally, Kachina dolls are hand carved from the root of the cottonwood tree, and they represent spirits of various things encountered in the daily lives of the Indians. There are hundreds of these Kachina "beings" and each tribe has Kachina's of it's own, plus they may "borrow" Kachina's from other tribes if they are found to be of benefit. - Click Here to learn more About the History of the Kachina
