The Scavenger kachina is a
rare figure who supposedly depicts a looter of the ruins of Awatovi.
Located on Antelope Mesa, Awatovi was destroyed by rival factions
from other villages who opposed the adoption of catholicism into
the tribe.
Today, all that is left of
the old village are bits and pieces from the old stone dwellings
and dug-outs which were once used as kivas.
