Kokopelli history: 

Kokopelli is often depicted as a hunchbacked creature playing a flute. According to the Hopi, it carries children on its back, which it distributes to expectant mothers. Kokopelli is also responsible for game animals, so it is often accompanied by an animal figure, such as a deer or a rabbit. Kokopelli is also a trickster. It also represents the spirit of music, driving away winter and bringing in spring with its flute playing.

The earliest information about the Kokopelli figure comes from the ancient Ansaz, and the word is believed to have come from Mesoamerican Aztec traders who made trips to the southwestern United States. According to some accounts, the word comes from the Hopi and Zuni words koko, which means a deity, and pelli, which is their name for an insect of the region.

Kokopelli is commonly found in rock art and early ceramic painting in the region. Today, Kokopelli has become a symbolic figure of the entire Southwest.
