霍皮人认为泥头是超自然生物的一种，是神在霍皮人之前在地球上创造出来的。泥头常与许多卡奇纳神仪式相联系。他们有时要在规定的宗教活动上独立表演，滑稽的造型为严肃的场合增添了幽默色彩。泥头常在头上佩戴具有球状眼、嘴和耳的袋形面具。他们的身体一般都被涂上棕色，表示他们来自泥土中。
The Hopi believe that Mudheads are a race of supernatural beings that were created from the earth by their God before the Hopi.The Mudheads are frequently associated with many katsina ceremonies.They sometimes act independently of the prescribed ritual activities and their antics are often meant to provide an element of humor as a balance to the seriousness of the occasion.The Mudheads are often represented with a sack mask over their head with bulbous eyes, mouth and ears. Their bodies are covered with brown paint to represent the clay that they were created from.
