This Kuwan Heheya Katsina
Doll, also known as a Colorful Heheya Doll, hails from the Hopi
Pueblo and is a prominent component of the Pueblo’s group
dances.
Often chosen for the Niman
Kachina on First Mesa, these dolls are accompanied by Kachin
Manas who dance in a separate line, rasp and kneel during certain
points of the rain-invoking ceremonies. T
he Kuwan Heheya and the Hemis
Kachina are tasked with asking the supernaturals to bring rain
to their partly matured crops. Two side dancers also usually
accompany the Kuwan Heheya: the Uncle and the Youth.
Justice is a younger carver
from Second Mesa. His father is well known carver and Hopi tour
guide, Gary Tso. His brother is also a carver, Paul Tso.
