[ENGLISH NAME: Kachina] Hummingbird [HOPI NAME: Katsina] Tocha [MEANING OR STORY:] 
The Tocha or Hummingbird Kachina is a frequently made kachina. It appears during Kiva Dances in the winter, and during the Soyohim Dances in the spring. When it enters a kiva, it usually dances by bobbing its head and making calls like the humming bird. Then, it moves rapidly around the kiva like a hummingbird would. During a dance, when it catches an individual, it whips him or her with yucca leaves. This kachina often appears as a runner because it is fast.
