Legend says that many years ago, some Hopis were living outside of the main village and a mother had just finished putting up the hair whorls on one side of her daughter’s head.  The hair on the other side was still hanging down when they saw enemies sneaking toward the village.  The young girl quickly picked up a bow, quiver and arrows and led the defense of the village until the men in the fields could return to defeat the enemy.  This katsina honors the Warrior Maiden or Hé-é-é as she continues to guard the village.
