Crane Guardian of Hopi

guardian · United States · North America

No crane guardian spirit is attested in Hopi tradition. The historical Crane Clan (Atokngyam) once existed within the Snake phratry, but it is now extinct and held no guardian-deity role; no kachina of a crane guardian appears in the Hopi pantheon. This entry appears to derive only from the real but extinct clan name.
