Excerpt: ... families emerged, some went north and some south. Those that went north were driven back by fierce cold which they encountered, and built houses for themselves at a place called To-ko-na-bi. But, unfortunately, this was a desert place where but little rain fell, and their corn could not grow. In their pathetic language the Hopis say, " The clouds were small and the corn weak." The chief of the village had two sons and two daughters. The oldest of these sons, Tiyo, resolved to commit himself to the waters of the Colorado River, for they, he was convinced, would convey him to the underworld, where he could learn from the gods how always to be assured of their favor. (This idea of the Colorado River flowing to the underworld is interesting as illustrative of Hopi reasoning. They said, and still say, this water flows from the upperworld in the far-away mountains, it flows on and on and never returns, therefore it must go to the inner recesses of the underworld.) Tiyo made for himself a kind of coffin boat from the hewed-out trunk of a cottonwood tree. Into this he sealed himself and was committed to the care of the raging river. His rude boat dashed down the rapids, over the falls, into the secret bowels of the earth (for the Indians still believe the river disappears under the mountainous rocks), and finally came to a stop. Tiyo looked out of his peepholes and saw the Spider Woman, who invited him to leave his boat and enter her house. The Spider Woman is a personage of great power in Hopi mythology. She it is who weaves the clouds in the heavens, and makes the rain possible. Tiyo accepted the invitation, entered her house, and received from her a powder which gave him the power to become invisible at will. Following the instructions of the...

Download or read book What the White Race May Learn from the Indian written by George Wharton James and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-10-30 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 'What the White Race May Learn from the Indian' by George Wharton James, the author explores the lessons that the white race can learn from Native American cultures. Drawing on his observations and experiences with Native American tribes, James challenges dominant white perspectives and encourages readers to reflect on their own cultural values and attitudes. Written in a persuasive and informative style, the book provides a unique insight into the wisdom and traditions of indigenous peoples, offering a fresh perspective on race relations in America at the turn of the 20th century. George Wharton James, a prolific writer and lecturer on Native American culture, was influenced by his interactions with various tribes in the American West. His firsthand experiences and deep respect for Native traditions informed his writings, making him a respected authority on the subject. James's passion for social justice and cultural understanding shines through in this thought-provoking book. I highly recommend 'What the White Race May Learn from the Indian' to readers interested in exploring themes of cultural diversity, societal harmony, and mutual respect. James's insights are as relevant today as they were when the book was first published, making it a timeless and enlightening read.
