We named the company after the Anasazi fertility symbol, Kokopelli. Kokopelli brought well-being to the people, assuring success in hunting, planting, growing crops, and human conception. His "hump" was often considered a bag of gifts, a sack carrying the seeds of plants and flowers he would scatter every spring. Warming the earth by playing his flute and singing songs, Kokopelli would melt the winter snow and create rain, ensuring a good harvest. Kokopelli often displayed a long phallus, symbolizing the fertile seeds of human reproduction.

Kokopelli was an important deity to Southwestern Indians. His images are among the most widely distributed of any in the prehistoric and historic Indian sites of the Southwest. Kokopelli may have been as important to the Southwestern Indians as Abraham is to Jews, or Paul, to Christians.

Kokopelli seems to have played a featured role in Southwestern Native American life. He leads processions of people, perhaps on migrations. He participates with costumed shaman figures in tribal rituals. He plays his flute for dances in tribal ceremonies. In hunting-magic scenes, he seeks to ensure success for men carrying bows and lances. He impregnates women. He participates in birthing scenes. He plays his flute to plead for moisture sufficient for his tribe's corn, beans, and squash to grow.

Some legends suggest that Kokopelli was an ancient toltec trader who traveled routes between Mexico, the west coast, the southwest, and possibly even as far as the eastern areas of the U.S. Kokopelli was said to play a flute as he traveled to pronounce his arrival to the villagers. It was considered the greatest of honors to be the woman he chose to be his "dreamtime companion" for his duration of time in the village. Many of these women apparently bore his children.
