Some Hopi opposed selling kachinas to outsiders because they viewed these spiritual figures as sacred and integral to their cultural and religious practices. Selling kachinas was seen as commodifying their heritage and disrespecting their beliefs, undermining the significance of the ceremonial role these figures play in their community. Additionally, there were concerns that commercialization would lead to a loss of cultural identity and authenticity among the Hopi people.
