Yeah because you hate seeing the truth and facts and reality

The Kachina doll is not easily explained because the name has several meanings. The Spirit Kachinas are religious beings who emerged from deep in the earth and revealed themselves to the Hopi people. The Spiritual Kachinas reside on the top of Mt. Humphreys (part of the San Francisco Peaks) north of Flagstaff. Mt. Humphreys is called The Place With the Snow on the Very Top in the Hopi language and is sacred to the Hopi. It remains a place where Hopi place feathers and other sacred objects and hold ceremonial dances to honor the Spiritual Kachinas and to ask for rain and other tribal needs.

Hopi Katsinam are crafted to acknowledge celestial beings, significant animals to the Hopi people, and the ancestors who help with their harvest, raising their spirits as well as raising their children. The Hopi people believe that the Katsina dancers possess supernatural powers, though they are men from the village wearing masks and feathered costumes

Native American Katsina and Kachina Dolls

In Native American culture, a kachina is the spirit of a deity, natural element, animal, or ancestor.
Kachina dolls were made in the image of the spirits worshipped by the tribe. They were not toys to play with, but religious icons to celebrate and contemplate.

The History of the Kachina Doll

[wgmalabama]

The dolls are used to teach about their spirit masks and traditions. So yes an idol by definition. They are not play items. They are for religious instruction

I’ll repeat, I dare you to hang them all up all over your apartment/home/moms basement. Come back to me in a month.

Your life will not be the same if you do.
You say they are “innocent” and “harmless”.

Ok....

Do it then.

I think we see who the self-righteous adolescent in this thread is.
