Kokopelli is probably the most well known Kachina. He is known as the hunchback flute player who plays to bring rain and also to attract women. Kokopelli is a fertility god. He is a baby maker, and his hump, along with his pouch, is filled with beautiful gifts to distribute to the women he attracts.
In ancient Indian legend, Kokopelli the flute player was the symbol of happiness and joy. He talked to the wind and the sky. His flute could be heard in the Spring breeze, bringing warmth after the winter cold. Kokopelli embodies everything pure and spiritual about music.
