Since 1983 Postcard collectors around the world have celebrated National Postcard Week during the first full week of May. Every year the Arizona Postcard Club produces a Postcard in conjunction with National Postcard week. This years club postcard of the Kachina Doll was handed out at the May meeting and mailed to all current members along with their newsletter. Extras are available for purchase.

Originally, the were carved from cottonwood or cactus root, painted in symbolic colors and dressed in traditional costumes. Birds have always played a very important part in the Hopi ceremonies and their feathers were used to decorate the Kachinas.

Today, many Hopis continue the tradition and make their livings carving Kachina dolls, preserving this ancient art form for us to enjoy today.
