Book excerpt: Kokopelli the flute player is one of the most popular icons that American culture has adopted from the Native peoples of North America. The Kokopelli name and image are everywhere, adorning everything from jewelry, welcome mats, T-shirts, and money clips to motels, freeway underpasses, nature trails, nightclubs, and string quartets. Kokopelli evokes mystery and wonder, ancient ceremonies andøspirituality, Mother Earth and the purity of nature. But what exactly is Kokopelli? Just how Native American is this ubiquitous flute player? In this fascinating book, the distinguished scholar of Hopi culture and history Ekkehart Malotki describes the development of the Kokopelli phenomenon in American mass culture from its beginning to Kokopelli?s present status as pan-Southwestern icon. He explores the figure?s connections with the Hopi kachina god Kookop”l” and Maahu, the cicada, and discusses how this rock-art image has been appropriated and misunderstood. Kokopelli sheds light on a little-understood aspect of Hopi culture and testifies to the continuing power of Native cultures to spark the popular imagination and interest of outsiders.

Download or read book Kokopelli written by Lawrence W. Cheek and published by Rio Nuevo Pub. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to legend, Kokopelli, a magical figure with a hump on his back, used to wander from pueblo to pueblo across the American West, playing sweet music to everyoneand also playing Don Juan among the women. Possibly this legend began with a real man, perhaps a trader carrying a pack. But over time Kokopelli has become a symbol for many different things, as Lawrence W. Cheek points out in this entertaining and informative addition to the Look West series from Rio Nuevo Publishers. Sometimes, when his image appears in pre-Columbian rock art and pottery, Kokopelli is clearly a fertility symbol. He also represents the coming of spring, the spirit of celebration, and the joy of music. On another level, he is a traveling salesman with a roving eye, the hero, or villain of many stories, some not suitable for prime time. His musical instrument may actually have been a nose flute, and the purported contents of his bulging pack include seeds, rain, clouds, rainbows, songs...and babies. Even more clearly, Kokopelli has come to symbolize the spirit of the Southwest in a very simple commercial way. His dancing image appears in sculpture and jewelry as well as cookie cutters, snow globes, T-shirts, cigarette lighters, and neon signs. It would seem that Kokopelli, the salesman, is still traveling. 30 photos & illustrations. About the series: Look West: What do you find?
