The Navajo Kachina Doll has no religious significance in the Navajo culture, it is a way for the Navajo to earn a living. The Navajo Kachina makers have borrowed from many other cultures over the years. The description for each Kachina includes information on what the character represents in the original culture. Although assembled by hand these indian kachina dolls that are created by the Navajo are NOT hand-carved from a single piece of cottonwood root as are the Hopi Katsinas. The body parts of the Navajo Native American Kachina Doll are machine made, the dolls are then pegged and glued together and hand finished by the Navajo.
Each of these Navajo Kachina dolls collectibles is individually handcrafted and handpainted. No two are alike in feathers or clothing. We will try our best to fill your order with your preferred color, but all characters are not available in all colors at all times.
If you are a collector of these beautiful Native American representations, check back with us often. We will be adding more Navajo Kachina styles as well as a line of hand carved Hopi Kachinas to our stock in the coming months!
