FIELD GUIDE
The story
ABC15's Absolutely Arizona reported in April 2026 on a kachina doll statue in the Tonto Hills subdivision near Carefree, Arizona. The station says it stands nearly 40 feet tall and is 'believed by some to be the largest of its kind.' It was built in the 1970s as the neighborhood developed, weighs about 14.5 tons and is made of cement blocks and steel.
ABC15 says the figure represents a Hopi corn maiden dancer. The Tonto Hills Volunteer Fire Department maintains the statue, according to Ann Dichiara of the department, who told ABC15: 'It's very big, and many people don't have the opportunity to see one that's a true duplicate at this size.'
