Hopi Kachina: Hee e' by Glenn Fred
9 1/2" inches total height

Delicate and detailed carving.

Hand carved and painted, cottonwood root.

He-e-e or He'wuhti may be seen in Powamu celebrations most years, but it is at the Pachavu ceremonies that He-e-e is seen in her most impressive appearance. Many years ago, tradtion says that some Hopis were living outside the main village, and the mother of this household was putting up her daughter's hair. The mother had finished only one side of the hair whorls, the hair on the other side still hanging loosely, when they saw enemies sneaking toward the village. The daughter snatched up a bow, quiver, and arrows from the wall and raced toward the village to warn the people. She then led the defense until the men in the fields could return and rout the enemy. She has been personated ever since as a kachina and always appears with her hair partially up on one side and hanging down on the other. On the back of her head she wears an artificial scalp lock, and she carries the weapons she snatched up so long ago. She still guards the village.

Glenn Fred, Hopi,  is a master Kachina doll carver. Winner of the 1996 Santa Fe Indian Market Kachina Doll Division.  Glenn's dolls are carved from a single piece of cottonwood root and exude a quiet, solid elegance, steeped in tradition. "For me," he says, "carving keeps me focused; it is a constant reminder of the presence of supernatural beings in our lives. Kachina dolls bring awareness to a different level." Glenn grew up admiring the Kachina doll carvings of his older brother Jim Fred and the works of Bryan Honyouti. With these fine craftsmen for inspiration, he has quickly made a name for himself, winning many awards at the Santa Fe Indian Market and the Gallup Ceremonial.
