Katsinas (also spelled Kachina) exist in Hopi and In Pueblo cosmology and religious practices. In Hopi, the word Katsina or Qatsina means literally "life bringer". A Ka'tsina or Qa'tsina can be anything that exists in the natural world or cosmos. It can be anything from an element, to a quality, to a natural phenomenon, to a concept.

Among the Hopi, Kachina or Katsina dolls are traditionally carved by the uncles and given to unitiated girls at the Bean Dance (Spring Bean Planting Ceremony) and Home Dance Ceremony in the summer. The function of the dolls is to aquaint children with some of the many Katsinas.
