Hunting Party
Tuhavi & Choqapolo (Hopi Kachina Hunting Party)



 
 
 

 
 Tuhavi is the crippled kachina. It is said in Hopi legend that this befeld kachina had a companion kachina who 
was blind. Together they hunted for food, Tuhavi told his friend how and where to walk. In return, his companion
carried him, as he was unable to walk. When Tuhavi does appear in kachina events, he is carried by another
kachina. Usually one of the runner kachina. In this painting I have chosen Choqapalo, the Mudhead Kachina. 
As a hunting party, they are swift of foot and sure in aim. An outward expressin of the desire for a prosperous
hunting season.
