In
Hopi mythology,
Angwusnasomtaka is a
kachina, a spirit represented by a masked
doll (also called a kachina). She is a
wuya[?], one of the chief kachinas and is considered the mother of all the
hú[?] and all the kachinas. She led the initiation rites for new children, whipping them with
yucca whips.
