Old Style Hopi Carved Piki Craver Traditional Dancer Katsina Doll by Tayron Polequaptewa

Piki Craver (Wah-uh-uh Piki Sona) carries a staff to lean on in order to eat Piki more comfortably. He originates from the village of Shungopavi and his main responsibility is to pester the Ogres that are negotiating to take either the children or the food that is offered. The Piki Craver steals the piki and eats it quickly so the Ogres have to accept what the Piki Craver ate instead of taking the children away.
