Page vii Foreword This little volume tells how to identify Hopi kachina dolls, whose multiplicity has confused their collectors for years. It is based upon a list prepared by Edmund Nequatewa, of Second Mesa. The list was enlarged by Jim Kewanwytewa, of Oraibi, whose keen eye for details has enabled me to fill out the descriptions of masks and costumes, and to add many new dolls to the original list. The combined list was further elaborated and extended by comparing it with those of Fewkes (1894 and 1903), Dorsey and Voth (1901), Voth (1901), Stephen (1936), Earle and Kennard (1938), and Zui lists of Stevenson (1887) and Bunzel (1932). I am deeply indebted to those Hopi men, without whose assistance the book could not have been written; to Dr. Edward Kennard, who advised on the spelling of Hopi names; to Katharine Bartlett, who has had the tedious job of translating my bad handwriting, spelling, and punctuation into a legible manuscript; to Helen Ivory who arranged the notes; and to my wife, who gave valuable advice and criticism while the work was progressing. Because of the continued demand for Hopi Kachina Dolls, apparently stimulated by the original edition in 1949, this work has been revised. Errors have been corrected and sixteen additional kachinas added. For their aid in this revision, I wish to thank my sister, Suzanne C. Wilson, and Carol T. Jones, as well as Barton Wright who re-drew a few of the engravings, adding new ones and correcting a few of the old ones. HAROLD S. COLTON MUSEUM OF NORTHERN ARIZONA FLAGSTAFF, ARIZONA JANUARY, 1959
