Catching Up With the Kachina

You are in a remote area of north-eastern Arizona. Amidst the hot and arid landscape, you encounter a people. The remnants of a Native American Pueblo People: the Hopi. As you learn more about their way of life, their past, their culture, and their beliefs, you gather round and listen carefully to their stories. This is how you hear about the Kachina for the first time.
