The Shalako Kachina originates from the Shalako ceremony of the Zuni Indians, the Hopi have borrowed the Kachina and have incorporated the deity into their culture. Shalako perform the ceremony as a rite that assures the transformation of winter's death into spring's rebirth. The ritual is expected to bless the people with the sun's light for another year.
