Bear Katsinam appear most often in the Soyohim or Mixed Dances of springtime and are believed to be powerful and capable of curing illness. These dolls, made of cottonwood root, are given to little girls by Hopi kachinas at the winter Bean Dance Ceremony and the summer Going-Home Ceremony. Height is 11 inches.
