Stetson Honyumptewa’s journey to mastering kachina doll carving began at his birthplace, in the pueblo village of Moenkopi, Arizona. Here on the Hopi Reservation, kachina doll carving is a celebrated craft – one that is also deeply spiritual. For centuries, these carved religious figures have served as teaching tools, and like generations of Hopi children before him, Stetson learned from them Hopi beliefs, traditions, and mythology.
