“The performers’ rhythmic ‘prayer’ gestures are a petition to the Great Spirit for acuity of vision. The bird is a messenger between the powers of the sky and the people of the earth.”
José Rey Toledo 1977
“Kachinas are a representation of the spiritual world that communicate abstract messages through song and dance. One of these kachinas is the Shalako. Each winter the Shalakos visit the Zuni Pueblo in New Mexico where they bless new homes or additions to existing homes.”
José Rey Toledo 1977
“The Niman gift bearers give fruit, dolls, bows and arrows to the spectators, as gestures of blessings from the spirits. They assure the Hopi Indians that all good deeds are rewarded.”
José Rey Toledo 1977
“The Niman kachina dance is celebrated by the Hopi people. The Niman Ceremonial is the last of the kachina visitations and held during the summer. Also called the home dance, the ceremony is the final dance before the kachinas return home to the San Francisco Peaks in Flagstaff, Arizona.”
José Rey Toledo 1977
