* A kachina is a spirit being in the religious beliefs of the Pueblo people, native American cultures located in the southwestern part of the United States. In the Pueblo culture, kachina rituals are practiced by the Hopi (NE Arizona), Zuni, Hopi-Tewa and certain Keresan tribes. The kachina concept has three different aspects: the supernatural being, the kachina dancers (masked members of the community who represent kachinas at religious ceremonies), and kachina dolls, small dolls carved in the likeness of kachinas given as gifts to children

Arizona Historic Vehicle* Plate 

The dramatic metallic copper colour of these plates is a nod to Arizona's Five Cs: Copper, Cattle, Cotton, Citrus and Climate. In the early years of the state, the five C's served an important role in the economy, with many jobs in agriculture, ranching, and mining.

*Historic motor vehicles are defined as any ride with a model date of original manufacture that is 25 years old or older, as well as a vehicle outlined in a list of historic cars compiled by a recognized institution.
