Old Style Hopi Carved Small River Traditional Water Katsina Doll by Kevin Masawiestewa

The Small River (Tunei-nili) is a Navajo-derived Katsina. He looks after the Navajo (Tasap) Katsinam and is usually a side dancer for them. He was inspired by the Navajo Rain Gods, the Tone-nili, who appear on the sixth day of the Navajo Yeibichai Ceremony. The name Tunei-nili Bitzai means "little wash" or "little river grandfather."
