Kachinas, or Kachinam, are spirits believed to dwell atop the San Francisco Peaks in Northern Arizona. They come to Hopi to perform various ceremonies designed to aid in the Hopi's constant struggle for survival in a harsh climate. Kachina Dolls are representations of these spirits. Traditionally given to small children, to familiarize them with the Hopi religion, they have also become much sought after collector items, and are often made expressly for sale to collectors. Kachinas (recently the spelling 'Katsinas' has become more common) are a class of supernatural beings who represent the forces of nature (including all aspects of human, animal and plant nature), and who act as intermediaries between the world of humans and that of the gods. They appear at the Pueblos of Hopi (in Arizona) and Zuni (in New Mexico). The Hopi believe their Kachinas live on the San Francisco Peaks; the Zuni believe their Kachinas live in the Lake of the Dead. Kachinas vary widely in terms of their abilities and benevolence toward humans. Certain Kachinas may only be represented by members of specific clans, kivas, or religious societies, and while the elements and colors of the costumes and the shapes and features of the masks of each Kachina are prescribed in minute detail, these details can vary from village to village. Kachinas also have distinctive characters, behaviors and gestures. Several hundred Kachinas are known. Some are seen every year, some do not appear for generations at a time, some become forgotten, and new ones occasionally appear.
