Posted: May 7, 2013
The National Center for American Indian Health Professions (NCAIHP) on the ATSU Arizona campus is sponsoring a series of displays and exhibits exemplifying American Indian culture. The current display in the series features Hopi Kachina which is on exhibit in Building 5845, Suite 213.
Kachina refers to the supernatural beings who are believed to be Hopi (Pueblo) villagers and are thought to have power to bring rain, help in many daily activities of villagers, and in general to function as messengers between the spiritual domain and mortals.
Look for upcoming exhibits featuring sweat lodges, Northwest totem poles, and prayer poles.
