The Deer is
a sacred animal to the Hopis, Navajos, Zunis and many Native American Indians
. Like most animal Kachinas, the Deer Kachina dances to increase his kind. This Kachina also aids in bringing rain, making the grass grow, and ensuring there is plentiful food for the future.
As you can see when you examine the photographs, he is missing one of his antlers.
