Kachina dolls are used by the Pueblo people to teach children about spiritual beliefs and were hung inside homes to help children remember the spirits associated with the dolls. There are many different spirits, each of which brings specific goodwill to the community, such as rains, crops, fertility, etc. The dolls are made of wood, with the arms attached separately with nails.
