Today, Kokopelli is one of the many kachina spirits who live on the San Francisco Peaks for half the year and come to the Hopi mesas for part of the year. Dancing and ceremonies bring the kachinas. Hopi men who belong to the correct religious society are given the honor of carefully preparing to embody the kachina. Kokopelli is also found at other Pueblos such as Zuni. Hopi and other Pueblo people don't "believe" in Kachinas in the way very Christian people "believe" in Jesus. But for traditional people they are real spiritual beings who help keep the world working correctly with humans proper actions helping them.
As for the past, know one exactly knows. The kachina religion seems like it arose in about the 1250-1300s. There are images of Kokopelli in the Hohokam, Yuman, and Ancestral Pueblo peoples areas. The oldest are from 750- 850. They may have at first represented Aztec traders from the south. Or it may have always had religious meaning. There are also similar images in the Mississippian culture.

Does the Zuni word 'koko' have anything at all to do with 'Kokopelli'?
The term kokopelli is really a Hopi word, not a Zuni one, but it has been adopted into Zuni mythology. The meaning of kokopelli is unclear; perhaps it is from the Hopi name of another god (Koko) plus Hopi pelli, a type of fly.In Zuni the term koko is often applied to katchinas in general, so it could be said to be loosely connected with kokopelli.
