Aholi

{{Short description|Spirit in Hopi mythology}} In Hopi mythology, '''Aholi''' is a kachina, a spirit. He is a friend of Eototo and is very handsome; he wears a colorful cloak with a picture of Muyingwa and is the patron kachina of the Pikya clan. Aholi once allowed his throat to be slit so that Eototo could escape. They eventually met again. Aholi, a chief kachina on Third Mesa, appears with Eototo. Both are principal kachinas appearing in the Powamu and other sacred rituals.<ref>Colton, Harold S., ''Hopi Kachina Dolls with a Key to their Identification'' #8.
