Book Synopsis Kachinas, Spirit Beings of the Hopi by : Neil David
Book excerpt: The Hopi Indians have had Kachinas in their religion for probably more than 1000 years. The Kachinas are a prominent part of the religion and daily life of the Hopi. The Kachinas depicted in this book were painted by Neil David, Sr., a Hopi-Tewa from First Mesa. The paintings show both the front and the back of each Kachina, i.e.the entire costume of the Kachina. The descriptions are by various Hopi who discuss the differences in the Kachinas as they appear on each of the three mesas where the Hopi make their home.
