[ENGLISH NAME: Kachina] Wolf [HOPI NAME: Katsina] Kweo [MEANING OR STORY:] 
The Kweo or Wolf kachina is often seen in dances accompanied by the Deer kachina or Mountain Sheep kachina during the Soyohim Dances. He carries a stick that represents the trees and bushes that he uses to hide in whenever he stalks his prey. During ceremonies the Wolf Kachina?s sharp teeth are always visible along with its lolling tongue. They are made visible to boast the wolf?s prowess as a hunter. When he appears in the dance with the Deer or Mountain Sheep, they are always wary of him because of their natural relationship as hunter and prey. After the dance, it is customary for the Hopis to offer the Kweo Kachina cornmeal, and in return, the Kweo Kachina blesses them on their hunt.
