In the Hopi culture, the term Katsina (Katsinam, plural), also Kachina, is only used in reference to spirit beings. The Hopi term for the carved wooden figures that represent the Katsinam is Katsina tihu (tithu, plural). Georgia O'Keeffe created paintings of Hopi Katsina dolls (tithu) between 1931 and 1942. These religious figures were highly visible and available to non-Hopi and non-Pueblo people during this time, but the museum has no record regarding why she painted or drew these figures nor where she saw them. ^ ^Central figure of Katchina on white, cream, and grey blended background; ground has fabric appearance; thin red and yellow vertical stripes on vertical edges.
