Master carved piece 10 tall. Kachina Dancer is carrying gifts that will be given out during ceremony. 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. In his youth, Honyumptewa also recalls admiring his father, uncles, and brother-in-law as they carved the fascinating dolls from cottonwood, transforming the plain root into a beautiful and detailed figure. They would be the ones to teach him the craft and soon, at age 12, Stetson began carving. Now he is considered among the top contemporary kachina carvers, but the prestige has been many years and tribulations in the making.
