These kachinas are the feared Ogres of the Hopi. Of these, there are several: Nanatacka Tataki - Natacka male; Nanatacka mana - Natacka maiden; Natacka wuqti - Natacka mother; and Natacka naamu - Their father. During the process of collecting food from Hopi homes for distribution to the kachinas in the kivas, the Nataskas make horrible noises to scare the children. From the earliest ages, Hopi children have heard stories about how the Nataskas would abduct children and eat them, so they are terrified of them. The parent or parents bargain with the Nataskas to leave the children alone and when the Nataskas agree, the parent is the hero and the children are saved.
