Hopi Most Famous Artist Wally Grover is from First Mesa(old Hopi Village)Northeastern Arizona. The Long Haired ( Angak'china ) is originally from Zuni Pueblo. Long Hair appears at most Hopi Mesas. He wears his hair loose on his back to represent falling rain. He is one of the most popular of all Katsinam. These Katsinam appear in a group and sing a very powerful melodious song which may be one of the reasons that they are such favorites. They often appear at the Home Dance ( Niman ). Their purpose is to bring rain, and it is said that they seldom dance without the appearance of a soft gentle rain to help the crops grow. The Long-Haired Angak'china is so named because of the peculiar step he uses in dancing. This Full Figure Long-Haired Kachina is 9 in. x 1.75 in. wide. I know Wally and all the Hopi Artists work, I collect from. Brand new Kachina made from cotton wood root, retail price $ 700.00 !
