Mahk Kachinum or Hunter Kachina Mask Arts and Craft Activity for Children

Mahk Kachinum or Hunter Kachinas are hunters and use their knowledge to find and capture game animals for food.

Hunters may appear in the processions and ceremonies as warriors against clown kachinas or to provide humerous entertainment. They are not considered to be in the same category of warriors, policemen or guards however.

Some hunter kachinas may be borrowed in order to represent individuals from other groups and neighboring tribes

Kachina types may cross match into one or more group since many kachinas are multi-faceted with numerous responsbilities and roles.

Print and trace the designs onto multi-color fun craft foam sheets to create pliable and colorful soft face masks. Use left over trimmings of foam pieces to cut and paste intricate designs and shapes onto the mask.

For best results print on heavy duty vellum paper or card stock. All paper mask designs are printable on regular or heavy duty 8 1/2" x 11" paper. Print landscape mode for larger masks, portrait setting for smaller masks.
