Native American Hopi Carved Priest Killer Katsina Doll by Michael George
During the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, the Indians of New Mexico and Arizona revolted against the Catholic Church in an attempt to retain their religious freedom. Legend states that a Hopi named Yowe killed and beheaded a Franciscan priest. After this incident, the Hopi referred to Yowe or the Priest Killer as an Ogre Katsina that had the power to punish others. Michael George is an excellent carver and this doll is a typical display of his talent. Click on numbered boxes below image for additional views.
