No, but as with any Tribal society- or societies, there are plenty of odd cultural practices which might be confused with Voodoo. For example Katchina, also spelled Kachina.. Kachina ( pronounced roughly Catch-china!) means approximately human spirit body or soul-mate. they took the form of more-or-less anthropomorphic dolls and were a sort of mixture of charm-companion and boogeyman. they somewhat resembled the images on totem poles and are infrequently called ( Totem pole dolls) which is incorrect. there were zoomorphic decorations and designs on the helmets or hats ( well, we have the American Eagle on Garrison hats, right/) These dolls, called katchinas, were most popular in the Southwest and some were sold in souvenir shops off the Santa Fe railroad line. For some reason (maybe the fact that founder of the 99"s, Amelia Earhart , was the daughter of a Santa Fe executive, the idea took-off ( no pun intended) with the women fliers and they had a Katchina Doll 200 mile air race, and so on. Katchina dolls were prizes used. Katchina is not voodoo but the doll angle, well, perhaps a kindred spirit, but not really, Back in the sixties when Indian lore was a popular subject in magazine articles, stuff on the Katchina flourished- by the way it is NOT as tribe.. different tribes used them, mostly in the ATSF line area- a lot of ground!
