Priest Killer
Yowi is an Ogre
Kachina. He may be regarded as a diety of certain Hopi Warrior
Clans, having supremely powerful inner spiritual responsibility
to punish including taking of life. He is now referred to
by the non-Hopi people as the Priest Killer because he carried
out the beheading of the priest during the Pueblo Revolt in
1680. The Pueblo Indians of New Mexico and Arizona revolted
against the Catholic church in order to retain and have the
freedom of practicing their own religion.
