My understanding was that a young boy and his sister were separated for many years, living their lives in different communities. After many yeas they met accidentally and fell in love and may have married. Son the boy found out that the love of his life was his sister and became so distraught and embarrassed that he started to disfigure himself by pulling on his head, ears and nose, disfiguring him as we see now. This Kachina is common through out the pueblo region of the southwest.
