A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. A kachina (also katchina or katcina, pronounced; occasionally katsina, plural katsinim; Hopi: qacína) is a spirit being in western Pueblo cosmology and religious practices. The western Pueblo, Native American cultures located in the southwestern United States, include Hopi, Zuni, Tewa Village (on the Hopi Reservation), Acoma Pueblo, and Laguna Pueblo. In later times, the kachina cult have spread to more eastern Pueblos, e.g. from Laguna to Isleta. The term also refers to the kachina dancers, masked members of the tribe who impersonate kachinas in religious ceremonies, and kachina dolls, wooden dolls representing kachinas which are given as gifts to children.
