Lot Essay
"Hahai-i Wuhti is said to be the mother of all kachinas. The reference is to duty rather than actual blood relationship. She is also spoken of as the mother of dogs. Her real children are the monster, the Nataskas, with Chaveyo as the father, although other Hopi say that her husband is Eototo and that she corresponds in a female role to his position. It is true that she is in many important ceremonies such as the the 'Hopi Shalako', the 'Water Serpent' and the 'Powamu'. Hahai-i is unusual in that she is quite vocal, a rarity among kachinas (Wright, 1977, p. 56)."
