Known as a fertility god, prankster, healer and story teller,
Kokopelli has been a source of wonder throughout the country for
centuries. Kokopelli embodies the true American Southwest, and
dates back over 3,000 years ago, when the first petroglyphs were
carved. Although his true origins are unknown, this traveling,
flute-playing Casanova is a sacred figure to many Southwestern
Native Americans. Carvings of this hunch-backed flute-playing
figure have been found painted and carved into rock walls and
boulders throughout the Southwest.
