Why would it be inaccurate to say that the kachina dolls are very simple in style? Why did some Hopi people oppose selling kachina dolls to outsiders?

Answer:

carved and made very uniquely.

outsiders very rarely visited their villages.

Step-by-step explanation:

It would be inaccurate to say that the kachina dolls are very simple in style because they are being carved and made very uniquely. The kachina dolls have heads of ornately carved masks and colorfully painted figures decorated with shells, feathers and semi-precious stones.

Hopi people opposed selling kachina dolls to outsiders because until the nineteenth century, outsiders very rarely visited their villages. However, with availability of roads and increase in tourist, they stared producing kachina dolls for sale.
