Late 20th century

The Badger is a healing Katsina. Prayers for the growth of healing herbs are given to him, and he then provides the herbal medicine. As all Katsinas do, he serves as a messenger for rain. He dances in the summer day dances.

The Badger Kachina is quickly recognizable. Shaped to stand strong, tall, and alert, the badger is represented to show the sturdiness and hard-working nature of the spirit from which is it is divined. Though the exterior of this captivated Kachina is made to symbolize the animal’s resilience, the Badger is actually a doctor.

The Badger Kachina is believed to contain extensive knowledge of roots, herbs, and mixes along with how to use them on those most in need. When a member of a Hopi tribe was ill, the Kachina served as an influence to heal the member – as it is considered the most powerful healer among all of the Kachina.

The Curing Kachina, as it is often referred to, represents the strength of a Badger, and the spirit of the Kachina weaves that strength into the creation of a doll that will strive to cure the sick. The Badger Kachina is a special gift for your loved ones or professionals who possess determination in their compassion for others.

Due to the fragile nature of kachina dolls, we do not guarantee they will not break during shipping. We do our best to pack them well, but due to their fragile nature and even with the best packing, small pieces can break. If you are purchasing kachina dolls, please keep this in mind.
