Native American Navajo Red Tail Hawk Kachina Doll

Red Tail Hawk appears individually when it functions as sergeant-at-arms or policeman. In this role they either enforce an action, such as community cleaning, or as guards to prevent the approach of anyone or anything to the proximity of a location or ceremony. When the Red Tail Hawk appears with other Guard or Warrior Kachinas in a group they are functioning as warriors. They surround the more sacred Kachinas as a small but ferocious army of fearsome creatures. Handcrafted by Navajo artist.
