The Pueblo Clowns (sometimes called Sacred Clowns) refers to jesters or tricksters in the Kachina religion (practiced by the Pueblo Indians of the southwestern USA). It is a generic term, as there are a number of these figures in the ritual practice of the Pueblo people. Each has a unique role; belonging to separate Kivas (secret societies or confraternities). Each has a name that differs from one mesa or pueblo to another.
