EACH KACHINA DOLL PICTURED HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF AN
ORIGINAL "HOPI KACHINA" HAVING A PERSONALITY UNTO ITSELF.

Broad Face #130 Guard Kachinas. This category of Kachinas may be called either guards or warriors. When they appear individually they function more as sergeants-at-arms or policemen. In this role they either enforce an action such as the communal cleaning of springs or as a guard to prevent the approach of anyone or anything to the proximity of a location or ceremony. However, with the passing of years many of these functions have been lost as springs are converted to water systems and trails or roads become the province of highway departments. When they appear as a group such as in the Powamu Procession or during Pachavu times they are functioning as warriors. They surround the more sacred kachinas as a small but ferocious army of fearsome creatures. From these actions comes their name Ichivota or Angry Kachinas or as they are often called, the Watching Kachinas. Many of the Guard Kachinas carry yucca whips which are indicative of their roles as warriors, protectors, and overseers. In some instances, such as the fearsome warrior He'-e'-e', the Guards may serve to protect certain ceremonies from the potency of other kachinas.
