Kachina dolls

I found it! The names of the carvings I spoke of below are Kachinas. I posted a little note describing them below. The title should be a link to more information on the gallery we visited. If it's not, 'someone' needs to call me and give a link/title posting lesson. Love you Ben.

Kachina carving is a uniquely Hopi art. Though commonly called "dolls" they are in fact stylized religious icons, meticulously hand-carved from whole cottonwood roots by a small number of Hopi artists who have won the cultural honor of making them.
