TEOTWAWKI is a very ancient southwest diety from the same Hohokam period of KOKOPELLI. He survives today as a rarely seen Hopi kachina appearing only during rare snowfalls at top of the World.. Modern cottonwood renditions ( carved with the Ritter RSK ) are dressed in woolen layers with a german flektharn poncho. In his right hand is a STORM whistle blown in threes to announce his entry from the kiva. In his left is a altoid tin PSK. Fake kachinas appearing on EBAY are readilly identified by the space blankets substituting for poncho, a 440 stainless steel hollowhandled survival bowie in one hand and Marlin 45-70 guide gun for killer bears in the other. TEOTWAWKI always reminds people of KOYANNISQUATSI, ' life out of balance' or when TSHTF can happen anytime, anywhere, not just the national Sacrifice area of 4 corners where God's Dog watches us all.

As an alternative, try TEOTWIWBI, The End Of The World If We Blow It.
