From Alaska to Arizona, ScissorCraft's got it covered. Make a Hopi-theme Kachina doll or mask with the images provided in ScissorCraft's Paper Kachina Dolls and Masks web site. "Paper Kachina Masks for Young Children" provides an overview of kachina art and culture in the hopes of piquing the interests of young children to learn more about Southwestern Native American Hopi Pueblo arts, crafts and culture for educational and entertainment purposes.
Most images in "Paper Kachina Masks for Young Children" are based upon historic, government and educational artistic renditions of kachina dolls and other art works on display in national public parks, museums and in historical reference material freely available to the public. Many records of kachina masks and costumes date as far back as the late 1800's.
ScissorCraft's Paper Totem Poles for Children is a great place to learn about the fascinating and mysterious Native American culture of totem pole carving. Totem poles are carved from large trees, mostly Western Red Cedar.
Totem poles exist primarily in the Pacific Northwest, Alaska and British Columbia areas and were constructed primarily by Northwest Coast tribal groups including the Tlingit, Kwakiutl, Haida, Tsimshian and Chilkat.
ScissorCraft's masks and designs are also useful for embroidery, needle point, scroll saw and other personal and not-for-profit craft activities.
