Kachina Katsina doll - 25835This older katsina doll, probably from the 1930s or early 1940s, represents a Chakwaina Katsina but I have been told that in this configuration, he is known as Hewto

Chakwaina appears most often in January during the Kiva Dances, dancing in a line with lively gestures, stooping and turning and singing a spirited tune.
