Aholi

In Hopi mythology, Aholi is a kachina, a spirit god represented by a doll (also called a kachina). He is a friend of Eototo[?] and is very beautiful; he wears a colorful cloak with a picture of Muyingwa and is the patron kachina of the Pikya clan. Aholi once allowed his throat to be slit so that Eototo could escape. They eventually met again.
