A pair of Katsina figures seen in Santa Fe. I’ve always heard them referred to as “Kachina,” but on this trip learned that Kachina has long been used by outsiders to refer to any of the hundreds of spiritual beings central to Hopi religious life as well as to the dolls that depict them, but according to the Hopi, “Katsina” is more correct and preferred. Seen at Bahti Indian Arts in Santa Fe. #katsina #kachina #hopi #hopikatsina #nativeamerican #art #spiritualfigures #dolls #kachinadolls #katsinadoll #bahtiindianarts #santafe (at Santa Fe, New Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj10qbSMnwb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I am not sure who the #Hopi #KatchinaCarver is who carved this awesome little sculpture but I saw it in a gallery window in #Scottsdale, #Arizona while on a photo walk. Coinidentally, it happens to be my favorite #Katsina known as the #PriestKillerKachina. . This begs a question that lingers on my mind: what if the current iteration of Christianity that the current modern world teaches and adheres to is an actual form of #Witchcraft? What if today's #Christianity is the ultimate counterfeit of the original source!? . I'm NOT afraid to speculate on this notion with the long history that modern and colonial Christianity played as a benefactor in #Colonialism against American Indian First Nations. Some of the worst crimes against #Humanity have been committed by #Christians and their colonizers in the form of genocide, racism, etc. Knowing this truth shakes my core about whether or not I hold a general belief in Christianity in its present form. . I could dive much deeper down this rabbit hole but the truth runs so much deeper... too deep for caption on #Instagram. . #hopiart #nativeamericanart #decolonized #hopikatsina #katilsinadoll #priestkiller (at Scottsdale, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmxwbmULNYM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Tawa, the progenitor sun spirit of the Hopi. Tawa is the supreme god amongst the Hopi, with everything that exists tracing its origin to Tawa. At the beginning of Time, the only thing that existed was Tawa and the Spider Grandmother. These two came together to birth the Kachinas, the lesser gods. Tawa used his immense power to create the universe, while the Spider Grandmother used hers to create the mortal creatures. The universe contained a multitude of different dimensions or worlds, the Spider grandmother guided the Hopi through the first three. However the third world was corrupted by the hearts of evil men, so in response Tawa sent a flood to destroy the world that turned to villainy. The spider Grabdmother saved the mortals who held kindness in their heart, sealing them within reeds to weather the storm. Upon the flood’s conclusion a bamboo shoot grew into the sky, with the Hopi climbing it, reaching the fourth world, where humanity now lives. A tradition still present today has mothers present their newborns to Tawa, who grants them blessings and protection.

Unlike the eastern tribes of Native Americans, many of the western tribes including the Hopi were able to preserve more of their culture and mythology. This is both due to them being originating further away from the colonies, and thus being able to record their traditions and fight for them once westward expansion boomed. There are several different tellings of the Hopi’s cosmogenic myth, in some Tawa is credited with the creation of the world and the gods alone, in other myths Spider Grandmother is only his servant and not his consort, in another less common myth life was created by the two Hard Being Women with Tawa only observing them. According to some traditions creation was undergone by Tawa’s son Sotuknang who in turn created the Spider Grandmother, however this myth is the only reference to the deity Sotuknang, possibly implying it was a later and less popular addition to the mythos, however this is purely conjecture. Tawa’s status as a supreme sun god connects him to the many other indigenous mythologies of the Americas, most prevalently in Mesoamerica as many of their mythologies revolve around the sun, represented in their deities like the old Mayan Itzamna, and the new Mayan Ququmatz. This archetype also corresponds to deities outside the americas as well, most recognizable among them being the Egyptian Ra.
