Kachina's originated in the Western Pueblo Native American Cultures. They are spirit beings that are revered but not worshipped. They represent everything from ancestors, to sun and stars, corn and crops, insects and many other concepts. They can have relationships - sisters, brothers, uncles, etc.
The central theme of the kachina cult is the presence of life in all objects that fill the universe. Everything has an essence or a life force, and humans must interact with and respect these or fail to survive.
These would be great on a child's quilt or man's lap robe. Or frame several for an impressive display.
