Prayer Feathers: Prayer feathers or "Pahos" are created out of cottonwood root or cedar and have specific feathers attached to catch the wind. They are generally created to communicate with the Creator of the Kachinas and are used to accomplish specific tasks of protection and blessings.

Sun: Represents long life, health, abundance and strength.

Kwahu - Eagle Katsina: The Eagle katsina appears in early March during the Kiva or Repeat dances. The dancing of this Kachina is meant to imitate the actions and motions of a live eagle and constitutes a prayer for an increase in the eagle population. Eagles occupy a unique position with the Hopi as they are treated as honored guests and even given presents just as the Hopi children are.
