The figure is called \u201cScorpion Kachina\u201d because the scorpion carries its own throwing stick on the tip of his tail. This doll represents a runner Katsinam who, in specific ceremonies, races Hopi men and uses his rabbit sticks to throw at whomever he is racing. However, instead of them being actual sticks, they are made of cloth or leather stuffed with cotton to prevent injury.<span id='easy-footnote-1-228' class='easy-footnote-margin-adjust'><\/span><span class='easy-footnote'><a href='https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/difficult-objects\/close-looking\/#easy-footnote-bottom-1-228' title='&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400&quot;&gt;Barton Wright and Clifford Bahnimptewa. &lt;\/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400&quot;&gt;Kachinas: A Hopi Artist&amp;#8217;s Documentary&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400&quot;&gt;.
