Squash Katsina
Patun Tihu
Randy Sahmie, Hopi, 1994
Squash is the third member of the indigenous triad of food plants--corn, beans, and
squash. One Hopi squash variety is impersonated in katsina form. He has a
squash head, squash blossoms on the back of his head and in his hand, and body paint
resembling the fruit.
