In a nutshell- anthropomorphic ( human formed) or zoomorphic ( animal-like) portable dolls. they are sometimes incorrectly-but it is a flag of convenience- ( Portable totem poles) they are quite distinct- but are American Indian in origin. Kachina, sometimes spelled Katchina- is NOT a tribe. There is or was a Katchina Doll 200 women"s Air Race- a Katchina doll is a prize. Be advised Amelia Earhart"s family had connections with the A.T.S.F. railway- which may explain this, and her predilection for Turquoise.
