Book excerpt: "This is the first bilingual presentation of an ancient and powerful Hopi legend. The creation of Sunset Crater, in northeastern Arizona, plays a climactic role in this legend in which the Ka'nas kachina mingles with mortals, and through a saga of marriage and magic, betrayal and revenge, prosperity and famine, tests their loyalty, brings them to near starvation, and, finally, takes pity on the steadfast survivors. Also included in this volume are chapters on the archaeology and geology of the Sunset Crater region. A discussion of the Hopi alphabet and an extensive glossary benefit those more interested in Hopi language. Because legend and folklore capture the basic foundations of culture, this book is an important contribution to Hopi literature, and takes an important stride toward reaching cross-cultural understanding"--Book cover.

Download or read book Living Under the Shadow written by John Grattan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-06-03 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Popularist treatments of ancient disasters like volcanic eruptions have grossly overstated their capacity for death, destruction, and societal collapse. Contributors to this volume—from anthropology, archaeology, environmental studies, geology, and biology—show that human societies have been incredibly resilient and, in the long run, have often recovered remarkably well from wide scale disruption and significant mortality. They have often used eruptions as a trigger for environmental enrichment, cultural change, and adaptation. These historical studies are relevant to modern hazard management because they provide records for a far wider range of events and responses than have been recorded in written records, yet are often closely datable and trackable using standard archaeological and geological techniques. Contributors also show the importance of traditional knowledge systems in creating a cultural memory of dangerous locations and community responses to disaster. The global and temporal coverage of the research reported is impressive, comprising studies from North and Central America, Europe, Asia, and the Pacific, and ranging in time from the Middle Palaeolithic to the modern day.
