Kweo Kachina

Kweo Kachina is a Hopi figure known as the wolf Kachina, this being a form of spirit. He has blue skin and often holds a stick that he uses to hide behind while hunting. Depictions of Kweo Kachina often incorporate real wolf fur. He also features as a side dancer alongside Deer, Antelope, and/or Mountain Sheep, who all call forth the gift of elaboration in the Soyohim Dance.
