[ENGLISH NAME: Kachina] Giant [HOPI NAME: Katsina] Chaveyo [MEANING OR STORY:] 
The Chaveyo or Giant Kachina is a threatening kachina who appears at anytime in the spring to punish or discipline, whenever the youngsters are bad. If any Hopi person fails to meet what is required of him in work or breaks the rules of conduct for a village, Chaveyo will let them know about it and punish them for it. He is represented in almost every village, and is usually seen in the Powamu or Water Serpent Dance, and often seen with the Soyoko (Ogre's) of First Mesa assisting them in their role. The Giant Kachina is a favorite of kachina carvers. Interestingly enough, the most often stance carved of this kachina is when he is lifting the hair out of eyes so that he can see who is bedeviling him.
