North & South  Shi-Tsukia(White Kachina) & Kwelele(Black Kachina)-Zuni

Originally from a prehistoric village near the Sandia Mountains, in New Mexico, these mirror opposites came  to Zuni, as the people emerged from the underworld. Shi-Tsukia represents daylight and growth (spring and  summer) and takes his position in the north. Kwelele represents the night and the time of sleep (fall and winter)  and takes his position in the south. Together, they appear only once a year; on the next to the last day of the  Winter Solstice. They bring the new year to the Zuni people.
