Des poupées de bois peintes de vives couleurs, également nommées kachinas et représentant ces danseurs, sont offertes aux enfants, à l'issue des fêtes, pour qu'ils se familiarisent avec le monde des esprits.

DOLL IN KACHINA STYLE
Kachinas or katchinas (sometimes transcribed Katsina or Katsinam) are spirits in the mythology of the
Hopi and Zuni Indians of New Mexico and Arizona in the southwest United States.
Spirits of fire, rain, snake, or even mischievous, playful, benevolent or evil spirits... A sort of inventory of the visible and invisible world. Six months a year, during ritual festivals, these spirits are embodied in masked and costumed dancers. Brightly painted wooden dolls, also called kachinas and representing these dancers, are offered to children at the end of the festivals so that they become familiar with the spirit world.
